Job Description

Database Solutions Engineer

The Opportunity:

Modernizing a database platform is about more than moving data from one system to another. It requires a thoughtful approach to discovery, design, conversion, testing, and operational transition. As a Database Developer, you’ll help lead complex PostgreSQL to Oracle Database migrations and deliver solutions that are reliable, secure, and ready to support mission needs.

In this role, you’ll work across schema and code conversion, data movement, Oracle AI Database 26ai, multimodal data, and OCI migration. You’ll help ensure that applications and data continue to perform as expected throughout testing, cutover, reconciliation, and post-migration stabilization.

You’ll collaborate with database engineers, application developers, cloud specialists, security professionals, and customer stakeholders to solve challenging migration and modernization problems. If you enjoy bringing structure to complex technical efforts and helping teams move confidently toward a better solution, we invite you to join us.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

What You’ll Work On:

Plan and execute PostgreSQL-to-Oracle Database migrations from discovery through post-migration stabilization.
Design and implement Oracle AI Database 26ai environments that meet application, analytics, availability, security, and operational requirements.
Design multi-model databases integrating relational, spatial, JSON, including JSON Relational Duality, and graph data types.
Migrate Oracle Databases from on-premises or other cloud environments into OCI while managing network, service, sequencing, and operational dependencies.
Use Zero Downtime Migration, Data Pump, Golden Gate, or comparable tools to execute reliable migrations with rollback and recovery planning.
Develop and optimize SQL, PL/SQL, schemas, interfaces, and operational automation for migrated and newly developed applications.
Define migration test plans, reconcile source and target data, assess migration readiness, and troubleshoot functional, performance, and integration issues.
Create migration plans, design documentation, runbooks, cutover checklists, and stakeholder-ready status reports.
