• Working knowledge of database application design, data modeling, schema development, and database object management sufficient to maintain and enhance scalable, reliable database solutions.
• Experience deploying SQL, PL/SQL, schema, and configuration changes through structured development, testing, validation, and production-release processes.
• Familiarity with source control, code review, release documentation, rollback planning, and automated or repeatable database deployment practices.
• Complementary Oracle database administration experience, including working knowledge of:

  • RMAN backup and recovery.
  • Oracle Data Guard.
