Oracle DBA

Job Title

Location: Bogota

You probably think that working for an online travel agency that manages hundreds of millions of bookings per year, or working for an airline company that operates hundreds of thousands of flights per year must bring their fair share of challenge. If so, just try to realize the scalability, resiliency, and geographical distribution challenges that are behind the system that powers 150+ airlines, hundreds of websites, tens of airports, or thousands of hotel properties. Just one fact to illustrate: at peak times, Amadeus processes more than 17,000 transactions per second (1+ billion transactions per day), with an average system response time of less than 0.3 seconds. 

The DBaaS (Database-as-a-Service) department provides Oracle database administration expertise and operational support to applications within Amadeus, in a follow-the-sun organization.  

You will ensure the deployment, maintenance, performance, integrity, and security of the Oracle database platform. You'll support application teams, collaborate with engineering and product management, and help deliver best-in-class database experiences. 

• Plan and deploy database clusters for multi-terabyte workloads, focusing on high-availability and fault-tolerance (including multi-site HA).

• Ensure storage, archiving, backup, and recovery procedures are operating correctly, including disaster recovery.

• Maintain and upgrade database clusters to comply with patching and security standards (PCIDSS / SOC / ISO27K).

• Monitor performance and tune database parameters for optimal experience.

• Investigate incidents, debug problems, and provide recovery solutions in 24x7 operations.

• Operate databases both on-premises and on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure.

• Participate in the on-call roster.

• Write and maintain documentation and procedural descriptions.

• Collaborate with development and product management for continuous improvement of Oracle automation and ecosystem. 

• 5+ years managing Oracle database technologies (19c, 23c) in a critical, highly available enterprise environment (24x7).

• Experience with Linux platforms.

• Experience with database automation (Ansible, Python, shell, etc.).

• Microsoft Azure experience and/or certification is a plus.

• Knowledge of other database technologies (MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server) is a plus.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.

• Certification in relational databases and/or programming is a plus.

• Hands-on exposure to latest Oracle versions and features.

• Experience with Oracle upgrades and data migration (Dataguard, Golden Gate, Datapump).

• Advanced hardware, OS (Linux), and storage knowledge.

• Knowledge of release management tools (e.g., Git).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in multinational, multicultural environments.

• Proactive mindset and knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) is a plus.

• Fluent in English and Spanish required 

• Get rewarded with competitive remuneration, individual and company annual bonus, vacation and holiday paid time off, health insurances and other competitive benefits.
