  • Perform Oracle database installation, patching, and upgrades.
  • Manage RMAN and Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) activities.

  • Manage EBS concurrent managers.
  • Configure WebLogic clustering and perform JVM tuning.
  • Create and utilise AWS CloudFormation templates to automate the creation of AWS images.
  • Apply Git and version-control practices within database development and delivery.
  • Implement improved database monitoring and alerting capabilities.
  • Collaborate within Agile product delivery teams.
  • Mentor, coach, and transfer technical knowledge to DBA team members.
  • Promote continuous improvement, effective troubleshooting, and operational stability.

Qualifications

  • Possess expert experience setting up and maintaining continuous delivery and deployment pipelines.
