Software Developer - Architect

Description

Oracle Database supports the most demanding mission-critical customer requirements, operating at global scale to provide a secure, distributed, multi-tenant data platform for structured as well as unstructured data.

The architectural patterns you develop will be used by customers to build applications that require high volume, high velocity and high variability data platforms. The patterns will need to support data sovereignty/residency requirements where a data element is required to stay within a specific geographic boundary.

As a member of the product development team, you will understand customer & market requirements, translate them to technical specification, do system design, define the architecture, provide guidance to a team of software developers to deliver the service.

This is your opportunity to be a core part of the team that defines and delivers exciting new capabilities for Oracle’s flagship Database. We are seeking a candidate with strong product architecture experience in Big Data products or services.

You will lead and coordinate efforts between cross-functional teams to develop best-in-class capabilities. You will work with Product Management, Product Development, QA, Documentation, Support and at times directly with customers, marketing and sales.

The right candidate will possess a strong Software Product Architect and Big Data Management background, an ability to work backwards from customer requirements and will have experience building multiple customer-facing products and features.

You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. A customer-centric mindset, maturity, intellectual curiosity, agile development approach, pivot when needed, ability to hire and influence analytical talent are essential to succeed in this role.
