Job description

We are seeking a hands-on Oracle GoldenGate expert to lead replication and data integration initiatives for a large enterprise client. This is a deeply technical role for someone who has architected, deployed, and operated GoldenGate at scale in production environments.

You will own the design, implementation, and operational health of GoldenGate-based replication pipelines supporting mission-critical workloads, and partner closely with database, infrastructure, and application teams.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement large-scale Oracle GoldenGate replication topologies across heterogeneous environments

  • Design and deploy capture, pump, and delivery processes; author and maintain parameter files and trail file configurations

  • Tune GoldenGate for high-throughput, low-latency replication on transaction-heavy systems

  • Troubleshoot production issues including replication lag, ABEND scenarios, conflict resolution, and supplemental logging gaps

  • Implement and maintain both GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (MA) and Classic deployments

  • Design DR, zero-downtime migration, and active-active replication patterns

  • Build monitoring, alerting, and automation around GoldenGate

  • Document standards, runbooks, and recovery procedures

Requirements

Do you have experience in Technical troubleshooting support?, * ~10+ years of hands-on Oracle GoldenGate experience

  • Proven track record on large-scale enterprise GoldenGate implementations

  • Deep expertise across GoldenGate Classic and Microservices Architecture (12c, 19c, 21c)

  • Strong Oracle Database internals knowledge: redo/undo, supplemental logging, ASM, RAC, Data Guard

  • Experience with heterogeneous replication (Oracle to non-Oracle targets such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kafka, BigQuery)

  • Solid scripting skills (Shell, Python) for automation and monitoring

  • Strong troubleshooting skills in complex production replication environments.
