Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer / Architect - AI JSON/MongoDB - **Company:** Oracle - **Location:** Tallahassee, FL, United States - **Salary:** $96,800.0 - $251,600.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, C++ (Programming Language), Apache Lucene, Compilers, Computer Programming, Databases, Data Structures, Document-Oriented Databases, Amazon DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Information Retrieval, JSON, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, NoSQL, Oracle Databases, Oracle (Applications), Migration Manager, SQL Databases, Database Engines, Indexer, Information Technology, Low Latency, Full-text Search - **Published:** June 23, 2026 - **Apply:** https://dejobs.org/x/x/FBE317157E824F9AAD6B0403521F5F47/job/ ## About the Role * Strong foundations in database internals: storage, query processing, indexing, transactions, or distributed consensus. * Deep concern for performance - you instinctively profile, measure, and optimize, and you have experience tuning systems for latency, throughput, or resource efficiency. * Excellent programming skills with strong command of data structures, algorithms, and systems-level thinking. Experience in Java is expected; C, C++, Rust, or other systems languages are a plus. * Experience with compilers, language design, or query-language implementation. * Solid understanding of SQL and at least one document/NoSQL query model. * Hands-on experience with one or more of: Oracle Database, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, or Lucene. * Experience with full-text search engines or information retrieval (e.g., Lucene, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch) is a strong plus. * Comfort with ambiguity - you can take a vague customer need and turn it into a concrete technical proposal. * Self-directed; you lead projects, not just execute tickets. * Effective communicator - able to present ideas to peers, leadership, and customers. Comfortable engaging with enterprise customers on migration planning and technical adoption. Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field (Master's or PhD preferred). Equivalent professional experience is equally valued. ## Description The ideal candidate does not wait for tasks. You see a gap, propose a solution, build consensus, and drive it to production. You bring strong computer-science fundamentals - data structures, algorithms, systems thinking - and you are comfortable operating across layers, from database engine internals to developer-facing API surfaces. Critically, you are not just an ideas person: you think in concepts and architectures, but you also write excellent code and ship it yourself. You also enjoy working directly with customers: we are actively migrating large workloads from MongoDB to Oracle, and this role involves understanding real-world usage, guiding adoption, and feeding customer insights back into the product., * Next-gen document APIs - Design and ship new AI-enabled document interfaces that extend Oracle's multi-model story beyond today's SQL/JSON and MongoDB-compatible surface. * SQL/JSON engine features - Architect and implement capabilities in query processing, indexing, optimization, and execution for JSON workloads at scale. Performance is a first-class concern: you will profile, benchmark, and tune at every layer. * Oracle API for MongoDB - Drive compatibility and feature parity so customers can migrate production workloads from MongoDB to Oracle with confidence. Work hands-on with migration teams and customers to identify gaps and prioritize fixes. * Customer engagement - Partner directly with customers migrating to Oracle, understand their workloads, advise on best practices, and channel field insights into product improvements. Support escalations alongside Developer Operations. * Cross-cutting systems work - Contribute to full-text search, compiler/language-design components, and interoperability across relational and document data models. * Technical leadership - Mentor engineers, raise the quality bar through design reviews, and help translate ambiguous requirements into shippable plans. ## Related Videos - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [Dynamic Entities in .NET: Building Low-Code Systems on Top of Entity Framework Core](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100218-dynamic-entities-in-net-building-low-code-systems-on-top-of-entity-framework-core) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
