The Oracle Database Solutions Architect serves as the internal technical authority for the company’s Oracle database ecosystem, ensuring that Oracle platforms are securely designed, properly governed, operationally sustainable, and aligned to supported technologies and business requirements. This role owns solution architecture, standards, design review, compliance alignment, and lifecycle roadmap for Oracle technologies across legacy and modern environments, including Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) databases, Oracle Autonomous Databases, OCI databases, Oracle Wallets, security controls, Active Directory integration, Transparent Gateway connectivity, audit strategy, and Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).

The Oracle Database Solutions Architect is the final design authority for all Oracle database platforms and services, ensuring that application and project teams deliver supportable solutions. A managed services provider executes the work but must align with architect‑approved standards and designs.

• Serve as the internal Oracle database architecture lead for all supported Oracle database platforms and connected technologies. Define and maintain reference architectures, design standards, configuration standards, security guardrails, and operational requirements for Oracle databases. Create and approve solution designs for new projects, application changes, database upgrades, migrations, integrations, and platform implementations. Ensure Oracle databases and integrations are designed for supportability, resilience, recoverability, compliance, performance, and lifecycle sustainability.
  
  Act as the final internal technical approver for Oracle database‑related design decisions, exceptions, and standards deviations.
• Provide deep architectural oversight for legacy Oracle environments, including older Oracle database platforms and Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) landscapes. Maintain knowledge and documentation of historical customizations, nonstandard implementations, integration points, legacy service accounts, and operational dependencies. Guide supportability decisions for EBS customizations, personalization, extensions, and database dependencies, focusing on reducing operational risk during patching, upgrades, and modernization. Ensure architectural decisions for legacy platforms balance business continuity, technical debt management, and future‑state migration planning.
• Own Oracle database security architecture and control standards, including authentication patterns, access models, least‑privilege design, privileged account governance, and security review requirements. Establish and evolve controls for Oracle Autonomous Database, define standards for Oracle Wallet lifecycle management, and lead strategy for Unified Audit Trail, Oracle Data Safe, database activity monitoring, sensitive data identification and protection, security baselines, audit retention and evidence collection.
  
  Partner with security, risk, and compliance teams to ensure Oracle controls meet internal and external audit requirements.
• Define architecture patterns and governance standards for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) database services, especially Autonomous Database deployments. Ensure new OCI database implementations include required standards for network and access design, compartment strategy, alerting and notifications, backup and recovery alignment, wallet handling, audit and logging configuration, and security baselines. Build and maintain operational guardrails so recurring activities are not missed, such as configuring alerts or event‑driven notifications when new OCI resources or compartments are introduced, ensuring wallet backup procedures are implemented and maintained, and validating required post‑provisioning tasks for new database deployments.
