- Oracle database administration
- Deep experience with Oracle in production: installation and upgrades, patching, performance tuning, backup and recovery, capacity planning, and troubleshooting.
- Strong command of Oracle internals, SQL, and PL/SQL.
- Oracle Data Guard and high availability
- Hands-on experience designing and operating Data Guard, including standby databases, redo transport and apply, switchover, failover, and recovery.
- Ability to test and document recovery procedures against defined RTO and RPO targets.
- Client DNA platform expertise
- Direct experience supporting Oracle databases for Client DNA is highly desirable, including DNA-specific architecture, batch processing, interfaces, upgrades, and vendor support processes.
- Since the database supports a core banking platform, the person should understand the operational impact of database changes and coordinate closely with Client and application teams.
- Oracle on Azure
- Experience running and supporting Oracle on Azure IaaS, including VM, storage, networking, and operating system considerations.
- Understanding of Azure availability zones and regions, backup options, monitoring, and how Azure infrastructure affects Oracle performance and resilience.
- Production operations and recovery discipline
- Strong incident response, root-cause analysis, change management, runbook writing, and maintenance planning.
- Experience coordinating database recovery and DR tests with application, infrastructure, and vendor teams, while protecting data integrity and service availability.
Most important screening distinction: prioritize someone who has personally operated Oracle Data Guard for a production system. Oracle DBA experience alone does not prove they can manage failover and recovery safely. Direct DNA experience is a strong advantage; if it s scarce, combine proven Oracle/Data Guard/Azure experience with the ability to learn and work within Client s DNA support model.
Have experience in Oracle with Oracle running on Windows Server platforms vs. Oracle running on non-windows platforms like Linux or others.
