Fully Remote Candidates

Note:

Must have experience transitioning from Oracle DB to Nutanix NDB, specifically NDB Oracle. Nutanix support isn’t making them too happy; the project is 2 weeks behind schedule. A big business impact could happen if this isn’t fixed. The entire business is migrating, executing the plan already designed. Currently at 0% migrated, building the solution now, with execution planned in the next couple of weeks. The goal is to have it all migrated within 3 months.

Experience with the Nutanix database platform, speaking up, and not afraid to make changes to the current process are essential.

Team: Managed service provider has a bunch of B/C players; larger clients are getting their A players.

Required Skills:

• 1. Oracle DB Administration (Expert-level)
• Experience with Oracle 12c/19c/21c and features such as ASM, RAC (if applicable), Data Guard.
• Deep understanding of Oracle ODA architecture, including:
• ODA CLI and Appliance Manager
• ODA storage layout, backups, patching, HA
• Skilled in RMAN, Data Pump, Flashback, and transportable tablespaces.

• Proven history of migrating Oracle workloads across platforms (ODA → VM-based, bare metal, or cloud).
• Familiarity with:
• Physical migrations (cold/hot backup & restore)
• Logical migrations (Data Pump or GoldenGate)
• Hands-on experience with provisioning, cloning, patching, and backups in Nutanix NDB.
• Profiles and blueprints in NDB to standardize deployment.
• NDB automation and API-based operations.
• Understanding of Nutanix HCI architecture, AHV/ESXi integration, and storage layouts (vDisks, Containers, Snapshots).
• Filesystem management (xfs/ext4)
• Kernel tuning, hugepages, NUMA, ulimits
• SELinux and firewalld configuration
• Experience with virtualization: AHV, VMware vSphere, or other hypervisors.

• 5. Backup/Restore & DR Strategy
• Able to redesign backup strategy when moving from ODA to NDB:
• RMAN with Nutanix NDB backup integrations
• Integration with third-party tools (e.g., Rubrik, Commvault, NetBackup)
• Understand how to implement and validate DR (e.g., with Nutanix asynchronous replication or Oracle Data Guard on NDB).

• Automation and Scripting
• Proficient with scripting languages (Bash, Python, or PowerShell) for automation and logging.
• Familiarity with Ansible or Terraform for infrastructure-as-code is a plus.
• Should understand how NDB workflows can be automated via REST APIs.
