vis-à-vis security, licensing and competitive issues.  The position will require
the ability to understand both the uses of third party technology in our
products, and the licenses and other requirements that govern those uses, in
detail.  It also requires someone who is interested in learning what is going on
across a huge range of product and service offerings, and whose personality will
allow them to pragmatically help manage Oracle developers (and business people,
and lawyers) into compliance with policy. Experienced cat herders will be
strongly considered - if you have the right skills and are up to the challenge
we would love to talk with you.
