• Manage backup and recovery strategies using RMAN and program‑approved backup tools.
• Diagnose and resolve complex database issues across dev, test, and production environments.
• Maintain database documentation, operational runbooks, and architecture diagrams.
• Collaborate with application, DevSecOps, system administration, and cybersecurity teams to integrate database services with CI/CD pipelines and secure architectures.
• Participate in on‑call or after‑hours maintenance windows as required to support mission‑critical availability.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Active Top Secret clearance.
• 5+ years of hands‑on Oracle DBA experience supporting enterprise production environments.
• Demonstrated expertise with Oracle DataGuard implementation and administration (mandatory).
• Strong experience with Oracle 19c installation, configuration, tuning, and lifecycle management.
• Proficiency in Linux (RHEL preferred) and familiarity with Windows‑based Oracle environments.
• Experience with RMAN backup/recovery, performance tuning, and database security best practices.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex database and infrastructure issues across multiple teams.
• Strong understanding of high availability, replication, and disaster recovery architectures.
• Solid communication and documentation skills, with ability to collaborate across technical and functional teams.
Desired:
• Experience supporting DoD, federal financial systems, or other high‑security environments.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized or cloud‑adjacent architectures.
• Experience working with Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) or other monitoring tools.
