We are seeking a seasoned Oracle Apps DBA to manage, optimize, and secure our mission-critical Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) and underlying database infrastructure. This hands-on, enterprise-level role requires expertise across application, database, operating system, and cloud/infrastructure domains. The ideal candidate will possess robust troubleshooting capabilities and practical experience with cloud migration initiatives (OCI or Microsoft Azure).

Core Responsibilities1. Oracle EBS & Technology Stack Administration

• Manage and maintain Oracle EBS (R12) across non-production and production environments.
• Perform application cloning, environment refreshes, and technology stack patching (AD/TXK utilities).
• Administer application-tier components: WebLogic, Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), Forms, Reports, Concurrent Managers, and Workflow.

Infrastructure, OS & Cloud Engineering * Administer Oracle databases and EBS applications on Linux and AIX platforms. * Write complex shell scripts (Bash/KornShell) to automate routine operational workflows. * Troubleshoot system-level bottlenecks across CPU, memory, filesystem, and storage layers (SAN/NAS). * Support cloud migration projects from on-premises infrastructure to OCI or Azure. * Ensure secure connectivity, proper network setup (DNS, TCP/IP, firewalls, load balancers), and post-migration performance stabilization.

3. Support, Operations & Compliance * Provide tier-3 production support and participate in major incident response and root cause analysis (RCA). * Execute operational changes under standard ITIL frameworks (Incident, Problem, and Change Management). * Maintain clear operational runbooks, architecture diagrams, and patching logs.
