Oracle Automation DBA

What will you be doing as a Interim Oracle Infra DBA

As part of a Scrum team you are responsible for designing and building the Oracle environment. Products supported within that environment include Oracle databases, Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Engineered Systems.

A part of the workload will be developing the infrastructure to support the CI/CD pipeline based on products such as Git, Jenkins, Puppet and Ansible and make it available to customers.

How will you be doing this?

You are an experienced Oracle Database Administrator with Infra automation experience and will work in a SCRUM-team. Your Database Administrator specialization skills are products such as Oracle ASM, Oracle RAC, Oracle Data Guard and Oracle Database Vault. For the Infra automation you are responsible for engineering, building, delivering and supporting the organization in the migration and consolidation from the current more classical Integration solutions to a CI/CD based solution.

Stack

The company lives in a multiplatform environment; mainly Oracle databases (11.x, 12.1 and 12.2) running on Exadata, but also on physical servers. They use Enterprise Edition options such as Oracle RAC, Oracle ASM, Oracle Data Guard and Oracle Database Vault. The pipeline will be based on your design and on tooling that is already available within the company such as Git, Puppet, Ansible and Jenkins, however, they are open minded about other CI/CD tooling.

Who are you?

You are an experienced Oracle DBA in a complex environment 3 years.
You love automation challenges and really like connecting engineering with operational/delivery issues.
You get enthusiastic when talking about (test-) automation options (Ansible, API’s, Rest, PyTest, Rspec or other). But also a simple task automation will have your full attention
You understand that the “Cloud” will be a very large part of any infrastructure solution
You see the big-picture but like to go in the details to solve complex integration issues
You are a team player, you cooperate with everybody.
You love feedback, as that will be used to improve and become even more awesome yourself
