About The Position

The Oracle Applications Database Administrator supports the technical stack underpinning the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), including the application tier and associated database infrastructure. The position handles installation, configuration, patching, cloning, workflow administration, and backup and recovery for the EBS environment. Its scope is specific to EBS rather than the organization’s entire database landscape, while requiring a strong foundation in database administration and technical expertise. The role supports the reliability, performance, security, and continuity of the EBS environment. It serves as a technical escalation resource for infrastructure and application-stack issues, maintains documentation and operational procedures, and works with the Oracle EBS Systems Administrator, business users, vendors, and other IT teams. The position participates in an on-call rotation and supports critical incidents, scheduled maintenance, and project implementations, primarily during advance-scheduled evening or weekend windows when possible.
