ABOUT XENONSTACK

XenonStack is a Data and AI Foundry for Agentic Systems, enabling enterprises to design, deploy, operate, and scale intelligent agents across digital and physical environments. We build enterprise-grade platforms across the agentic stack:

• Akira AI - Reasoning and agent orchestration.
• ElixirData - Agentic analytics intelligence. Explainable, decision-centric analytics for measurable business outcomes.
• NexaStack - Agentic infrastructure automation. Secure, compliant AI deployment across cloud, edge, and on-prem.

Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to AI + Human Intelligence by making agentic systems reliable, responsible, and enterprise-ready.

ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT

We are building a Managed Services team to support a large-scale enterprise data platform. The platform spans Cloudera on AWS, an on-premises Oracle data warehouse, Oracle GoldenGate replication, Apache Spark for ETL and data processing, and Alation for data governance. L1 support is handled by our existing team; this role is part of L2/L3 operations.

ROLE MISSION

Own the administration, availability and performance of the on-premises Oracle data warehouse and the GoldenGate replication that feeds the data platform.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Administer Oracle databases supporting the enterprise data warehouse.
• Perform backup and recovery (RMAN), restore validation and disaster recovery drills.
• Monitor and tune database performance using AWR/ASH, SQL tuning and indexing strategies.
• Plan and apply patches, upgrades and configuration changes with proper change control.
• Manage tablespaces, storage, users, roles and privileges in line with audit and compliance requirements.
• Monitor and troubleshoot Oracle GoldenGate replication, including lag, abends and data synchronization issues.
• Handle L2/L3 incidents with root-cause analysis and preventive actions.
• Support audit requests and maintain DBA documentation and runbooks.
• Guide Junior DataOps engineers on database-related issues.

REPORTING

Reports to the Managed Services delivery lead; works with the Data Security team and the client's DBA team.

HOW WE WORK WITH AI

AI is part of the daily workflow at XenonStack, not an add-on.

• Within XenonStack's own systems, AI tools are open for use: log and incident analysis, runbook and RCA drafting, scripting and documentation.
• At the client site in Mumbai, you follow the client's compliance and information security policy: use only client-approved tools, and never put client data, logs, credentials, queries or configurations into any tool the client has not approved.
• Every AI-assisted output is verified by you before it is relied on or shared.
• Come ready to talk about what is in your AI stack, how you verify its output, and how you keep it compliant in a regulated environment.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Backups verified by regular restore tests; DR drills meet the agreed RTO and RPO.
• GoldenGate lag within agreed limits, with abends resolved quickly and root-caused.
• No unplanned downtime from patches or changes.
• Audit requests answered on time with complete evidence.

MUST-HAVE SKILLS

• Oracle DBA experience on 12c/19c in production
• RMAN backup and recovery
• Performance tuning (AWR, ASH, execution plans, SQL tuning)
• Patching, tablespace and storage management
• User, role and privilege management
• Linux administration and shell scripting basics

GOOD-TO-HAVE SKILLS

• Oracle GoldenGate administration and troubleshooting (strongly preferred)
• Data Guard, RAC, ASM or Exadata
