Join Oracle's mission-critical support team, ensuring the availability and performance of vital database, application, and middleware environments. This role is pivotal in collaborating with infrastructure, database, middleware, and application teams to enhance service uptime, optimize performance, and drive cloud migration and operational automation initiatives.

The position requires a seasoned Oracle Apps DBA & Fusion Middleware Administrator adept at managing, maintaining, and troubleshooting complex Oracle environments. Responsibilities encompass supporting production operations, handling upgrades, ensuring high availability and disaster recovery, and managing cloud infrastructure.

Ideal candidates will possess deep expertise in either Oracle Apps DBA or Fusion Middleware administration, complemented by a solid working understanding of the other. The role demands flexibility for 24x7 shifts and weekend support.

Key responsibilities include maintaining robust production environments by administering Oracle Database, Oracle Applications 11i/R12, and Fusion Middleware products (WebLogic, SOA, OBIEE) across various configurations. You will manage controlled lifecycle changes, including installation, configuration, patching, cloning, refreshing, and upgrading application, database, and middleware platforms.

Ensuring availability and disaster readiness involves supporting RAC, Active Data Guard, and various standby database configurations, along with managing disaster recovery synchronization. Middleware administration includes configuring JDBC, JMS, and SSL, and deploying applications using WebLogic Console, deployment utilities, and WLST.

Troubleshooting complex production issues, optimizing performance, assessing capacity, and restoring services within SLAs are critical. Automation of operational tasks using Python and shell scripting is essential to reduce manual effort and prevent recurring incidents.
