- 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.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
