Req. ID: Req-0092 - Oracle Database System Engineer (not a DBA) Description: Oracle DBA experience - on both Intel and Unix (HP / AIX) Installing Oracle Upgrading oracle Oracle RAC experience on Linux in a large shop, with a large deployment Backup / recovery using RMAN Performance tuning Can demonstrate previous implementation of proactive monitoring of a database Unix Korn shell scripting Perl scripting Excellent communication skills Please ask them to rank their perl skills on a scale from 1 to 10. Resumes should clearly articulate Database System Engineer related tasks and activities. If the resumes just portray DBA work, the candidate will be rejected. Required Skills: 3 - 5 years experience performing both Oracle DBA and Database Engineering work - not looking for someone necessarily at the senior level - my senior engineers will be delegating the work Oracle RAC experience on Linux in a large shop, with a large deployment Experience with Oracle Names Server / Oracle Internet Directory Knowledge of basic Unix performance monitoring tools like glance, perfview, top, sar, etc Ability to troubleshoot system problems and to work quickly to resolve system outages Ability to work within a large and diverse team Must be able to communicate effectively with different teams and provide courteous customer service Must be able to achieve results with little supervision Excellent written and verbal skills. Able to perform effectively under pressure or stress. Works well in a team environment. Displays a willingness to do whatever it takes to meet and exceed expectations. Demonstrated ability to work with a minimum of supervision and manage own areas of responsibility. Can handle multiple concurrent tasks effectively. Excellent problem solver. Ability to rapidly learn and effectively apply new technologies and procedures. Required Qualifications: A database system engineer doesn't have the identical skillset as a DBA, although most companies just have 1 person who wears both hats. Pepsi is unique in that they two roles are separate and distinct. You'd have to find someone who came from as large a shop as Pepsi to find a place where they are split out, I think. Most places just call it 'DBA' and they are done, because they aren't big enough to have 2 separate and distinct roles. Please remember - I have at least 1200 oracle instances, 300+ SQL Server instances, and 250+ DB2s. We are VERY LARGE. It is very challenging to maneuver in this sort of environment, if you aren't used to it. Database Engineers don't create tables, don't do database design, don't tune SQL, and don't support applications directly. They have more of an infrastructure slant, more of a focus on unix or Intel tools, developing supportable and repeatable processes to be rolled out to hundreds of machines, and standardizing environments. Anyone can use RMAN to backup a database. But, can you develop a process using RMAN to backup hundreds of databases in an identical fashion, yet allowing flexibility. Anyone can install oracle, but can you demonstrate how you made sure that your oracle installs on 200+ machines were totally identical, for supportability purposes? An engineer would have extensive Unix kornshell and perl scripting experience, in which to support a large environment like ours, with hundreds of machines. They need to demonstrate their capabilities of supporting such a large environment while maintaining consistency across it. They need to understand what it means to develop something once, and have it roll out to a bunch of places that we think are 'standard' but because they are legacy they aren't as 'standard' as we think, have it work for 1,000 variations. So, I am NOT looking for a DBA for this role. They must have more of an infrastructure slant, but must be able to work as a DBA if needed. Optional but nice to have: Database Design DB2 / UDB DBA / engineering experience SQL Server DBA / engineering experience Teradata DBA / engineering experience Veritas netbackup experience HP Openview experience *Rate: *Open, * Job Type: *Contract, * Duration: *6 months, * Number Of Openings: *1, * Location: *Plano , TX <[email protected]?subject=response_to_req%2d0092> Please respond with *Resume, Rate and Phone numbers* of the Consultant.
