DRM​/EDM Application Developer

Oracle DRM / EDM Developer Analyst

Location:

Atlanta, GA or Birmingham, AL (4 days onsite)
JOB SUMMARY

Provide primary support for Oracle Data Relationship Management (DRM) — Southern Company's current on-premises master data management platform — while leading or contributing to the strategic implementation of Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud (EDM Cloud), targeted within the next 9 months. Responsibilities span application administration, metadata governance, hierarchy management, integration support, and data quality across both platforms. The ideal candidate brings hands‑on DRM experience and demonstrated exposure to EDM Cloud, enabling a smooth transition.

Bring an AI‑native mindset to accelerate analysis, automate governance processes, and resolve issues faster.

• Administer and support Oracle DRM (on-premises), including dimensions, hierarchies, properties, nodes, glyphs, viewpoints, node types, and related metadata objects; serve as primary platform owner through EDM Cloud cutover.
• Lead or support the implementation of Oracle EDM Cloud, including environment setup, application and adapter configuration, dimension modeling, workflow design, subscription configuration, and controlled cutover from DRM.
• Build and maintain derived properties and expressions: DRM formula/scripting language for on‑prem, and EDM Cloud expression framework for cloud; support both during the transition period.
• Design and maintain validations, business rules, and data quality checks enforcing corporate governance standards, data stewardship requirements, and segregation of duties controls in both platforms.
• Configure and support change management workflows in DRM Governance (DRG) and EDM Cloud, including request types, request sets, approvals, validations, subscriptions, and audit tracking.
• Manage enterprise metadata lifecycle: hierarchy maintenance, alternate hierarchies, version control, lineage tracking, SOX‑compliant change documentation, and auditability across DRM and EDM Cloud environments.
• Develop and maintain metadata integrations between DRM/EDM Cloud and Oracle tools (Cloud ERP, Cloud EPM, Hyperion Planning, HFM, Essbase) and downstream systems, leveraging EDM Cloud pre‑packaged application adapters, REST APIs, EPM Automate, and OIC.
• Manage Oracle EDM Cloud monthly update cycles: review release notes, assess functional impact, execute regression testing, and coordinate change management for production updates.
• Apply AI‑assisted diagnostics, anomaly detection, and automation to improve data quality, governance efficiency, and issue resolution while maintaining appropriate controls.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Computer Science, MIS, Data Analytics, or related field; equivalent experience considered.
• 3+ years hands‑on Oracle DRM (on‑premises) experience in master data management, hierarchy management, metadata governance, and data quality — required.
• Oracle EDM Cloud experience (implementation, configuration, or administration) — strongly preferred; candidates with DRM experience and demonstrated EDM Cloud exposure will be prioritized.
• Experience configuring DRM dimensions, hierarchies, properties, nodes, viewpoints, validations, workflows, and subscriptions; equivalent EDM Cloud configuration experience is a plus.
• Experience with DRM formula/scripting language; familiarity with EDM Cloud expression framework for derived properties and transformation logic — preferred.
• Experience with EDM Cloud pre‑packaged application adapters (Oracle ERP Cloud, EPM Planning, FCCS, or similar) and the REST API for metadata synchronization — preferred.
• Knowledge of DRM/EDM integrations with Oracle Cloud ERP, Cloud EPM, Hyperion Planning, HFM, Essbase, OIC, EPM Automate, and downstream systems.
• Experience with ERP metadata synchronization and data mappings bridging ledger accounts, cost centers, entities, alternate hierarchies, and reporting structures.
• Experience supporting or executing a DRM‑to‑EDM Cloud migration — a significant plus.
• Hands‑on experience using AI assistants (Microsoft Copilot, Git Hub Copilot, Claude, or similar) to support metadata analysis, documentation, expression logic,…
