What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal System Software Developer - Core Database position at Oracle?
We are looking for smart developers who can grow to be a star developer as we enhance Oracle database to support cloud and a new class of web and AI applications. This is either a Principal Member of Technical Staff or Senior Member of Technical Staff position depending on the candidate’s work experience.
We support high-performance data access for Oracle database via 2 key 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 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.
