KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
This Oracle DBA will be the person primarily responsible for management and administration of
production, testing, and development databases which power our key business applications. A
successful candidate will be skilled in PL/SQL, Oracle 10g and 11i, ASM data management, Dataguard,
and RAC. You will be coming in at key time, able to configure a new 11i implementation on new
hardware and manage a migration off of an older 10g deployment, and set things up to best practices
right out of the gate. However, what makes this position particularly unique is that while you will have
lead responsibility for our Databases, you won?t be only constrained to that. If you have a passion for
Linux, Systems Engineering, Networking, Virtualization, Scripting, Security, or any number of other
technology disciplines, we?ll put those skills and interests to work, too. If your current position feels too
confined, rigid, and boring, this just might be the role you are looking for!

? Respond to database system outages.
? Plan maintenance events and deploy Oracle patches and updates, as needed.
? Design and deploy new Oracle installations as required by the business.
