About The Position

The ideal candidate does not wait for tasks. You see a gap, propose a solution, build consensus, and drive it to production. You bring strong computer-science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, systems thinking — and you are comfortable operating across layers, from database engine internals to developer-facing API surfaces. Critically, you are not just an ideas person: you think in concepts and architectures, but you also write excellent code and ship it yourself. You also enjoy working directly with customers: we are actively migrating large workloads from MongoDB to Oracle, and this role involves understanding real-world usage, guiding adoption, and feeding customer insights back into the product. Why This Team Greenfield opportunity — Most of the roadmap is new. You will shape products, not just patch them. AI-first trajectory — Oracle’s AI roadmap and OCI’s strength as a cloud for AI workloads give this team outsized impact on how developers build intelligent applications. Company momentum — Oracle is making generational investments in AI infrastructure. This team is where that investment meets the data layer — a compelling place to build a career for the next decade. Unique technical niche — The Oracle API for MongoDB is one-of-a-kind: full MongoDB wire-protocol compatibility backed by a converged, enterprise-grade engine. Few teams anywhere work on this kind of problem. Scale and reach — Features you build ship to one of the largest installed bases in enterprise software. Experienced peers — You will collaborate with engineers who have decades of database-systems expertise. Modern, AI-powered toolchain — We work with a fully AI-enabled developer ecosystem: Codex, AI-assisted code review, and intelligent testing. You will build with the same AI technologies you are building for. Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all.

you think in concepts and architectures, but you also write excellent code and ship it yourself.

Responsibilities

Next-gen document APIs — Design and ship new AI-enabled document interfaces that extend Oracle’s multi-model story beyond today’s SQL/JSON and MongoDB-compatible surface.
SQL/JSON engine features — Architect and implement capabilities in query processing, indexing, optimization, and execution for JSON workloads at scale. Performance is a first-class concern: you will profile, benchmark, and tune at every layer.
Oracle API for MongoDB — Drive compatibility and feature parity so customers can migrate production workloads from MongoDB to Oracle with confidence. Work hands-on with migration teams and customers to identify gaps and prioritize fixes.
Customer engagement — Partner directly with customers migrating to Oracle, understand their workloads, advise on best practices, and channel field insights into product improvements. Support escalations alongside Developer Operations.
Cross-cutting systems work — Contribute to full-text search, compiler/language-design components, and interoperability across relational and document data models.
Technical leadership — Mentor engineers, raise the quality bar through design reviews, and help translate ambiguous requirements into shippable plans.
