Also, you will work very closely with application teams providing consultative support and expertise in performance tuning and troubleshooting. In doing so, you will be using enterprise tools to include Oracle Real Application Tester and Oracle Enterprise Manager.  

Responsibilities

The Infrastructure Database Engineer provides escalation services to the core production support team, applies performance diagnostic expertise, reviews best practices and drives efficiency programs.

The most successful candidates will combine extremely deep, low-level DBMS capabilities with native coding/scripting skills to contribute to initiatives that reduce operational effort through infrastructure software development. The role requires staff to have on-call availability to respond to major database incidents as a tier 3 or 4 engineer guiding the operations team.
