Oracle Principal System Software Developer - Core Database in Augusta, Maine
Job Description
Principal System Software Developer - Core Database
Oracle’s Core Database Cache Engine group is looking for experienced developers to work on Caching and High Availability technologies for the database.
About Us and the Product
We support high-performance data access and provide innovative data protection technologies for Oracle database via 3 key database components:
A distributed memory cache for running large Oracle database on massively-parallel clusters. This distributed database buffer cache is the key technology behind Oracle Real Application Cluster, the cluster database that powers most large and critically important databases in Fortune 500 companies. A new initiative in this area is to build high performance caching solutions for converged database.
A database recovery capability called Flashback that acts as a rewind button for the database, allowing database administrators to rapidly bring the data to a prior point in time. This Flashback capability is a core component of Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, supporting Data Guard replication, snapshot based testing, and multi-tenant database.
A new feature just completed - Oracle True Cache - which caches data in middle-tier in front of Oracle database, competing with products such as Redis. This solution can scale the read-only portion of a workload almost linearly and greatly reduce the response time of an application.
