Database Solutions Engineer & Technical Manager

The Opportunity:

Good data platforms do more than move information. They help teams trust what they are working with, understand where it came from, and use it with confidence. As a Database Solutions Engineer & Technical Manager, you’ll lead the design and implementation of governed data pipelines that bring together structured, semi-structured, geospatial, and mission data. In this role, you’ll guide technical teams across Oracle AI Database 26ai, multimodal data architectures, OCI migration, data quality, lineage, and operational monitoring.

You’ll help establish practical standards and delivery approaches that make data products reliable, scalable, secure, and ready for operational use. You’ll work with database engineers, data specialists, application developers, cloud and security professionals, and customer stakeholders to make sound technical decisions and keep delivery moving forward. If you’re an experienced technical leader who enjoys solving complex data challenges and helping teams deliver capabilities that matter, we invite you to join us.
