Administrator, Oracle Applications Database

Overview

The Oracle Applications Database Administrator is responsible for supporting the technical stack that underpins the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) environment, including both the application tier and the associated database infrastructure. Key responsibilities include the installation, configuration, patching, cloning, workflow administration, and backup and recovery of the EBS environment. This position serves as a specialized bridge role that is more focused than an enterprise-wide Database Administrator function, with responsibilities limited to the Oracle EBS environment rather than the organization's entire database landscape. While the scope is specific to EBS, the role requires a strong foundation in database administration and technical expertise.

 

The chance to do something meaningful, to challenge yourself, to be a part of change in an industry, to influence change doesn’t come around every day.

+      Ability to support multiple initiatives and adapt to changing business priorities.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

+      Oracle certification (OCP or equivalent).

+      Experience with EBS version upgrades (e.g., 12.1 to 12.2) or Oracle Database version upgrades.

+      Exposure to cloud-hosted Oracle environments (OCI, AWS RDS for Oracle, or Azure).
