Oracle Database Engineer

Project overview

This is a contract Oracle Database Engineer role in Frankfurt, supporting a Global Database Engineering Team that operates and improves large-scale relational database platforms. The focus is database engineering and automation—not a traditional DBA role centered mainly on patching—with responsibilities spanning automation tooling, operational improvement, root-cause analysis, and L3 support for Oracle and Exadata Cloud environments.

The description calls for Oracle DBA/Database Engineering experience, Exadata and Oracle Cloud knowledge, Python, Ansible, shell scripting, and Oracle database operations including RAC, ASM, Data Guard, performance tuning, and recovery. It also lists Git/Stash, ITIL knowledge, and database-model design; no separate nice-to-have skills are identified. The stated experience requirement is 10–15 years, which conflicts with the structured input of 6–8 years; the role is in Frankfurt, while the work mode is not specified.

• Develop automation platforms and modules to support database operational support teams
• Analyse incidents for root cause and update platforms and automation to eliminate problems
• Develop platform automation tooling to eliminate “toil”
