ORACLE DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR

GLOBAL HOLDINGS TULSA LLC•Tulsa, OK

2d•$110,000 - $140,000•Hybrid

About The Position

GH LLC is looking for a hands-on, technically deep Oracle DBA to serve as the primary Oracle database administrator on a small but high-impact Database Services team. You will report directly to the Database Services Manager, who serves as your secondary DBA and organizational point of contact, but day-to-day database administration, performance management, and technical decision-making will be yours to own. Our Oracle environment centers on a two-node RAC cluster with Data Guard standby, supporting core business operations. The databases are production-critical and in active use. There is meaningful work ahead - performance tuning, index and storage remediation, security hardening, a version upgrade, and a server infrastructure migration on the horizon - and we are looking for someone who can build a stable, well-managed foundation over time. We understand that walking into a new environment takes time. You will be given the opportunity to acclimate, learn the system, and get your footing before being expected to drive major changes. Sustainable, well-understood work is the goal - not speed at the expense of stability.
