About The Position

Modernizing a database platform is about more than moving data from one system to another. It requires a thoughtful approach to discovery, design, conversion, testing, and operational transition. As a Database Developer, you’ll help lead complex PostgreSQL to Oracle Database migrations and deliver solutions that are reliable, secure, and ready to support mission needs. In this role, you’ll work across schema and code conversion, data movement, Oracle AI Database 26ai, multimodal data, and OCI migration. You’ll help ensure that applications and data continue to perform as expected throughout testing, cutover, reconciliation, and post-migration stabilization. You’ll collaborate with database engineers, application developers, cloud specialists, security professionals, and customer stakeholders to solve challenging migration and modernization problems. If you enjoy bringing structure to complex technical efforts and helping teams move confidently toward a better solution, we invite you to join us. Join us. The world can’t wait.
