About the Role

• We are looking for an experienced Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) to join our Cloud Operations team on a contract basis.


• This role is critical to bringing our database support in-house for one of our major enterprise product lines.


• You will be the primary subject matter expert for a mission-critical, high-availability Oracle database environment hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).


• The ideal candidate is an independent, self-starting professional with a strong foundation in core Oracle DBA fundamentals.


• While your main focus will be Oracle, our broader landscape is predominantly SQL Server, so experience in that area is a significant plus and offers greater opportunity for long-term contribution.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploying, configuring, and maintaining Oracle databases on AWS (EC2 and/or RDS).


• Using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) for proactive monitoring, alerting, and performance diagnostics.


• Managing all aspects of database support, including triaging issues, performance tuning, and optimizing SQL/PLSQL.


• Implementing and managing robust backup and recovery strategies using RMAN.


• Supporting disaster recovery and high-availability solutions like Oracle Data Guard.


• Managing database security, user access, and auditing policies to ensure compliance.


• Collaborating with DevOps and application teams to improve cloud architecture and processes.


• Participating in an on-call rotation to support 24/7 production environments.

Must Have

• 5+ years of experience as an Oracle DBA in a production environment, with a focus on enterprise, high-availability editions.


• Strong hands-on experience managing Oracle databases in the AWS Cloud, with a solid understanding of EC2, RDS, VPCs, security groups, and S3.


• Experience with Microsoft SQL Server, as it makes up the vast majority of our database environment.


• Proficiency in scripting for automation using Bash, SQL*Plus, or PL/SQL.


• Deep expertise in database fundamentals: performance tuning, backup/recovery (RMAN), and diagnostics.


• Proven ability to work independently as a self-starter.


• Proficiency with monitoring and diagnostic tools, especially Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).

Nice to Have

• Experience managing PostgreSQL and/or SQL Server on AWS (RDS or EC2).


• Experience with database migrations (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL) using AWS DMS or Ora2Pg.


• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).


• AWS Certifications (Database Specialty, Solutions Architect Associate/Professional).


• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines involving database components.


• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines.


• AWS Certifications (Database Specialty, Solutions Architect) are a plus.
