We are seeking a Senior Oracle Database Administrator to join our dynamic and growing professional services engineering team. In this role, you will provide dedicated support to a single customer, navigating both the rewarding and challenging aspects of this position.

• Oracle RAC Administration: Configure, manage, and maintain Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) for high availability and scalability in multi-node environments.

• Exadata Administration: Configure, manage, and optimize Oracle Exadata systems to maximize performance, storage efficiency, and database availability.

• Oracle Data Guard Administration: Set up, manage, and monitor Oracle Data Guard environments, including Physical Standby, Logical Standby, and Snapshot Standby configurations.

• Perform switchover and failover procedures for both RAC and Data Guard environments to ensure minimal downtime and continuity of services.

• Implement and maintain Data Guard Broker for simplified management and monitoring of Data Guard configurations.

• Optimize the performance and synchronization of Data Guard databases, ensuring minimal data loss in case of failure.

• Utilize RMAN (Recovery Manager) to perform backups and restore operations for both primary and standby databases.

• Monitor Oracle RAC environments for database performance, including interconnect configurations, and manage failover scenarios.

• Manage shared storage solutions, including ASM (Automatic Storage Management) in both RAC and Exadata environments.

• Troubleshoot issues in RAC and Exadata environments, including network latency, performance bottlenecks, and replication inconsistencies.

• Configure backup and recovery strategies in a RAC and Data Guard setup using RMAN to ensure data integrity and consistency across all nodes.

• Ensure high availability of databases across RAC clusters and Exadata configurations, providing solutions for quick recovery during system failures.
