This is a highly visible, hands‑on role where you will influence performance, availability, and modernization of a complex Oracle EBS and RAC environment while working within a stable, long‑tenured leadership team.

Join a highly collaborative IT team supporting a large‑scale, mission‑critical Oracle ecosystem relied upon daily across multiple regions of the United States.
