In this role, you'll work across schema and code conversion, data movement, Oracle AI Database 26ai, multimodal data, and OCI migration. You'll help ensure that applications and data continue to perform as expected throughout testing, cutover, reconciliation, and post-migration stabilization.

You'll collaborate with database engineers, application developers, cloud specialists, security professionals, and customer stakeholders to solve challenging migration and modernization problems. If you enjoy bringing structure to complex technical efforts and helping teams move confidently toward a better solution, we invite you to join us.

• Use Zero Downtime Migration, Data Pump, GoldenGate, or comparable tools to execute reliable migrations with rollback and recovery planning.
• Develop and optimize SQL, PL/SQL, schemas, interfaces, and operational automation for migrated and newly developed applications.
• Define migration test plans, reconcile source and target data, assess migration readiness, and troubleshoot functional, performance, and integration issues.
• Create migration plans, design documentation, runbooks, cutover checklists, and stakeholder-ready status reports.
