Your work profile

We are seeking an Oracle DBA (2–5 years) to support day‑to‑day Oracle database operations in a Software‑Defined Data Center (SDDC). You will handle installations, backups/restores, patching, monitoring, and incident resolution for Oracle databases running on VMware vSphere with integrations across storage (vSAN/SAN/NAS), backup, and NSX‑T networking. You’ll collaborate closely with Linux, storage, network, and application teams to maintain reliable, secure, and well‑documented services.

Key Responsibilities

Oracle Database Operations

• Install and configure Oracle Database (11g/12c/18c/19c) on Linux (preferred) or Windows.
• Perform routine DBA tasks: user/role management, tablespace/segment management, schema changes, export/import (Data Pump), and statistics collection.
• Monitor DB health, growth, and sessions; manage alerts and respond to incidents within SLAs.

Backup, Recovery & DR

• Configure and operate RMAN backups (full/incremental/archivelog), verify backup success, and perform restore & PITR under guidance.
• Work with enterprise backup suites (Commvault/Rubrik/Veeam/Cohesity) integrated with RMAN policies.
• Participate in DR drills; follow runbooks for switchover/failover; maintain backup/DR documentation.

Performance & Maintenance

• Conduct basic performance troubleshooting using AWR/ASH/ADDM, OEM/Cloud Control, and execution plan review.
• Perform index/segment maintenance, gather optimizer stats, and raise/query tuning issues to senior DBA when needed.
• Support capacity/right‑sizing recommendations (CPU, memory, IOPS/latency).

SDDC / Virtualization Awareness

• Operate Oracle workloads on VMware vSphere/ESXi/vCenter (provision from templates, snapshots best practices, vMotion/storage vMotion considerations).
• Coordinate with platform teams for vSAN/SAN/NAS storage mapping, multipath considerations, and performance baselines.
• Collaborate with network/SDDC teams on NSX‑T segments, firewall/micro‑segmentation rules, and connectivity dependencies.

Security, Compliance & Patching

• Implement security best practices: roles/privileges, password policies, auditing, listener/sqlnet hardening.
• Assist with TDE setup/maintenance (where used), backup encryption, and TLS certificates.
• Apply PSU/RU/RUR patches under change control; support vulnerability remediation and compliance evidence.

Automation, Monitoring & Documentation

• Use SQL/PLSQL and Shell/Python scripts for routine tasks (checks, reports, housekeeping).
• Monitor using Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), Linux/system tools, and platform dashboards; respond to alerts.
• Maintain SOPs, runbooks, CMDB entries, change records, and environment diagrams with version control (Git).

Operations Excellence

• Provide L2 support for incidents/requests; escalate to L3 as needed with clear diagnostics.
• Participate in Incident/Change/Problem processes (ITIL), planned maintenance windows, and on‑call rotations (if applicable).
• Collaborate with application, Linux, storage, backup, and SDDC teams for stable service delivery.

Key skills required:

• Education: Any Bachelors
• 2–5 years hands‑on Oracle DBA experience in enterprise environments.
• Practical knowledge of:
• Oracle 11g/12c/18c/19c, RMAN, Data Pump, OEM/Cloud Control
• DB object/tablespace management, users/roles, auditing basics
• Backup/restore workflows and PITR
• Basic performance troubleshooting (AWR/ASH, execution plans, stats)
• Experience running Oracle on VMware vSphere (templates, snapshots best practices, vMotion).
• Familiarity with storage (vSAN/SAN/NAS) and networking basics relevant to DB operations.
• Scripting for operations (Shell/Python preferred) and SQL/PLSQL proficiency.
• Good documentation and communication skills; exposure to ITIL processes.
