Remote Oracle Database Administrator (DBA)

Can your database strategies turn complex data into crystal-clear insights? We're looking for an Oracle DBA who thrives on creating stability out of complexity—and we're excited to build the future with you.

Role Overview

You’ll architect, support, and evolve mission-critical Oracle database systems that sit at the core of our business operations. This isn’t a passive support role—this is your opportunity to shape systems that empower engineering, analytics, and customer-facing tools across a fast-moving, digital-first enterprise. We’ll trust you to evaluate, enhance, and protect our infrastructure so teams can move faster, deploy confidently, and scale without fear.

Key Responsibilities

Database Management

• Lead the creation, maintenance, and optimization of highly available Oracle databases.
• Architect robust data storage models that balance flexibility, performance, and scalability.
• Continuously assess database performance and resolve emerging concerns before they impact operations.

Backup & Recovery

• Implement and continuously improve backup and recovery strategies using RMAN and Data Guard.
• Establish DR protocols that minimize RTO and RPO while securing critical company data.
• Conduct frequent scenario-based recovery tests to ensure resilience.

Performance Optimization

• Tune SQL queries and analyze system bottlenecks using AWR, ADDM, and OEM dashboards.
• Implement indexing, partitioning, and in-memory optimizations that cut processing time and streamline workloads.
• Reduce data latency across business functions through smarter caching and concurrency strategies.

Security & Compliance

• Enforce access control, encryption, and auditing standards to maintain compliance with data privacy regulations.
• Collaborate with InfoSec teams on proactive threat modeling and response planning.
• Monitor suspicious activity and regularly review security policies.

Strategic Planning

• Build and present data platform roadmaps that outline upgrades, migrations, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Forecast capacity needs and align procurement with technical and financial leadership.
• Collaborate on long-term storage and performance improvements in line with growth targets.

Capacity Planning & Maintenance

• Scale infrastructure to support evolving data needs and user growth.
• Automate database health checks, alerting systems, and housekeeping routines.
• Lead version upgrades and patch rollouts with zero downtime execution strategies.

Remote Work Environment
