Oracle: Software Engineer - Database Technologies

Position Type: Full-time
Prefered Start Date: As soon as possible (Spring 2024, Dec 2024 grads should apply)

Job Description

Cloud environments, including Oracle’s Autonomous Database Cloud Services and Exadata Cloud at Customer, require memory management for large numbers of databases. These database clouds may serve highly-critical OLTP applications, resource-intensive data warehouses, and lower-priority development and test systems. Each workload has its own memory requirements, including data block caches, index caches, columnar caches, sort areas, work areas, etc. Oracle’s Memory Management ensures that the database’s physical memory can be shared between the many databases and disparate workloads.

We are hiring developers that can convert ideas to solutions and enable successful cloud environments with easy and flexible Memory Management. Future projects include working with each database team developing memory-intensive features to ensure effective and policy-driven memory usage. Besides software development, responsibilities include benchmarking workload scenarios, publishing best practice papers for customer use, and interacting with hardware and software vendors to address platform or vendor-specific challenges and roadmaps. We seek strong analytical and problem-solving skills, operating system and storage system fundamentals, performance evaluation and tuning skills, and fluency in C or C++.

The Program:
Our future success depends on hiring world-class, early-in-career talent who are looking to power next-generation services and solutions. We are hiring bachelor’s and master’s graduates with a diverse set of skills and experiences to work in and across multiple teams within the Database Technologies organization. Our program is intended to enhance your overall learning experience, help build your network, and accelerate your opportunity to make an impact.

The Team:
The Oracle Database and Systems Technologies organization creates data management technologies that power the modern economy. This includes the Oracle Database, the most widely used mission-critical database in all major industries around the world. We use this foundation to develop Database Services in Public and Private Clouds, and the Oracle Autonomous Database, the world’s first self-driving, self-securing, self-repairing mission-critical cloud database service. The organization also engineers hardware systems specialized for databases that are used by over 75% of the largest businesses in the world. In this team, the code that you write will power highly critical systems used by billions of people including travel reservations, telecommunications, hospitals, payroll, insurance, banking, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, e-commerce, utilities, and government services. The goal of our products is to increase the possibilities and productivity of businesses and people worldwide. Over 30% of the largest businesses in the world are already using our database cloud technologies.
