Senior Oracle + Apex Developer / Technical Operations Lead

We’re a growing consultancy looking for a technically grounded, business-aware professional to join our team. This is a perfect opportunity for someone with solid Oracle, SQL and Linux experience who wants to expand into Oracle APEX development - and prior APEX experience isn’t essential - we can give you what you need to pick it up quickly.

This hybrid, hands-on and strategic role offers the chance to take ownership of day-to-day technical operations while growing your skillset in a supportive, flexible environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting and enhancing customer Oracle APEX applications
• Taking ownership of customer operations including support queries, small changes and light enhancements, with potential responsibility for bigger development activities
• Managing and mentoring junior developers
• Handling data loading, cron jobs, user support, and system tweaks
• Planning and delivering technical tasks with minimal supervision
• Participating in client interactions and internal process improvements

• 5+ years of IT experience, ideally in small teams or varied environments
• Well-developed technical and interpersonal skills
• Strong Oracle SQL and PL/SQL skills
• Comfortable Linux skills (CLI, scripting, debugging, cron, basic admin)
• Data operations experience (ETL pipelines, scripting, system integrations)
• Version control experience (Git or similar)
• Agile project environment experience (sprints, bite-size deliverables and continuous delivery)
• Self-motivation and the ability to work independently, learn new technologies and expand your skillset
• Experience with BI/reporting tools (Qlik, Power BI, etc.)
• Web technologies knowledge (SSL, REST APIs, XML)
• Familiarity with Confluence/Jira or similar project management tools

What we’re looking for

• Technical depth - not someone who relies on Google or AI for every code or data issue
• Business awareness - you understand the ‘why’ behind requirements, not just the ‘what’
• Proactive mindset - low-maintenance professional who takes initiative
• Growth mindset - ready for a fresh challenge and willing to expand your skillset
• Communication skills - able to represent the company in support and delivery calls

This role could be perfect for you if..

• You’re capable but underused and want to make a real difference
• You enjoy working across data, development, scripting, and systems - and taking full ownership of end to end support
• You want to learn Oracle APEX and grow into a more full-stack role
• You prefer working with people who care over corporate bureaucracy
• You value flexibility, autonomy, and common sense, If you’re comfortable with SQL, PL/SQL, data structures, and basic web concepts, you’ll pick up APEX quickly with our support. We’re looking for strong technical fundamentals and the right mindset - we can teach the APEX specifics whilst you add value in other areas.

This role would suit someone who:

• Has worked in consultancy or small teams, wearing multiple hats
• Has built and supported business applications
• Has experience mentoring junior staff or contractors
• Is looking for a career refresh
• Wants to step up from a more junior role - or to broaden your breadth of skillset and exposure before moving on to the next stage in your career

Ready to take on a role where your technical skills and business acumen will be truly valued?
