Oracle DBA (Dataguard & Azure)
Oracle DBA (Dataguard & Azure) Long term contract Remote (someone in and around MA- EST preferred) Commercial Banking Domain Must Oracle database administration Deep experience with Oracle in production: installation and upgrades, patching, performance tuning, backup and recovery, capacity planning, and troubleshooting. Strong command of Oracle internals, SQL, and PL/SQL. Oracle Data Guard and high availability Hands-on experience designing and operating Data Guard, including standby databases, redo transport and apply, switchover, failover, and recovery. Ability to test and document recovery procedures against defined RTO and RPO targets. Fiserv DNA platform expertise Direct experience supporting Oracle databases for Fiserv DNA is highly desirable, including DNA-specific architecture, batch processing, interfaces, upgrades, and vendor support processes. Since the database supports a core banking platform, the person should understand the operational impact of database changes and coordinate closely with Fiserv and application teams. Oracle on Azure Experience running and supporting Oracle on Azure IaaS, including VM, storage, networking, and operating system considerations. Understanding of Azure availability zones and regions, backup options, monitoring, and how Azure infrastructure affects Oracle performance and resilience. Production operations and recovery discipline Strong incident response, root-cause analysis, change management, runbook writing, and maintenance planning. Experience coordinating database recovery and DR tests with application, infrastructure, and vendor teams, while protecting data integrity and service availability. Notes from the Manager: Need someone who has personally operated Oracle Data Guard for a production system. Oracle DBA experience alone does not prove they can manage failover and recovery safely. Direct DNA experience is a strong advantage; if it’s scarce, combine proven Oracle/Data Guard/Azure experience with the ability to learn and work within Fiserv’s DNA support model.
