The Oracle Database Cloud is responsible for building the cloud service framework powering various Oracle Autonomous Database cloud services and the Exadata Cloud Services including ADB-Shared, ADB-Dedicated, Base DB, ExaDB-OCI and ExaDB-C@C. The cloud framework automates deployment, scaling and management of databases in the cloud. It is built on top of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Layer.

In order to expand the adoption of OCI among Oracle's customer base, there is a need to make Migrations of Oracle Database Simple, Automatic, Fault-Tolerant, Fleet Scale capability, etc. This will facilitate mass migrations of databases in customers' datacenter to the OCI cloud environments such as ExaCS, ExaCC, DBaaS, Bare-Metal, offering various migration mechanisms such Physical and Logical migrations, and providing flexibility of performing Online or Offline migrations, etc. We are building a powerful tool Zero Downtime Migration(ZDM) that makes these capabilities available to the customer. We are also building the ZDM Cloud Service(ZDMCS) on the OCI, which is a Native OCI Service fully integrated with the various internal services offered by the OCI such as Identity, Logging, Metering, VCN, etc. The development work involves building this Cloud Service from the ground up.

The ZDM product is created to provide capability to migrate large no of a customer databases to the Oracle Cloud of all types, Autonomous, non-Autonomous, etc. The goal here is to come up with a comprehensive solution for this migration providing new migration flows, taking into account various customer database configurations, use of database features by their applications, and make it as seamless as possible.

This is a challenging fast-paced work environment in the Oracle Cloud. We are integrated with various Cloud technologies, and  as we move forwarded, the demand to make operations smoother, simpler, faster, reliable and robust is always present. We have been awarded US Patents in our teams, and there is scope for plenty of development, come up with innovative ideas and lead the industry in providing top-rated solutions for the challenges in the Cloud.  

Working with a world class team, as a Principal engineer, you will help with development and operations activities, to  develop tools/framework for deployment, migration operations and troubleshoot and resolve issues in our dev, test and production environments.

You will also be asked to provide leadership and expertise in the DevOps team, which combines the role of both Development and Operations in a fast-paced environment needing to meet various customer requirements in a timely manner. Part of the charter will also entail recommending and justifying major changes to existing products/services/processes.

Come join us and be a part of this technological leading-edge exciting team.
