Senior Member Technical Staff

The Database Access group at Oracle is responsible for providing functionally comprehensive, reliable, high performance, secure and highly available access to the Oracle Database in the cloud as well as on premise from various client drivers, including proprietary, standards-based and open-source drivers. The group works on the high level drivers, the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) layer, the Oracle wire protocol (TTC) and highly scalable server side protocol handlers that together connect an application written in any language securely to the Oracle Database Server to provide full featured access to the Oracle Database.

Along with the drivers for C and C++, we also develop some of the open source drivers for Oracle Database access from Node.js, Python, PHP and Rust. We work on adding Oracle features to the open source frameworks like Django, SQLAlchemy, Pandas, Sequelize, TypeORM and Prisma. We work on a variety of problems that challenge us to come up with innovative solutions that further raise the already high bar for Oracle Database. The work we do has resulted in a large number of patents awarded to the members of the team. The close interaction of the database access layer with other components enables team members to also gain significant exposure to the internal workings of other database kernel components.

Oracle is looking for a highly talented and motivated individual to develop and contribute to latest web technologies, high availability features, open source drivers and frameworks for Oracle Database in order to enhance our product offering and attract new developers to use Oracle Database. This is an excellent opportunity for software developers interested in working with cutting edge technologies and help define future world-leading technologies.

Learn and develop features in various areas including database, AI, high availability, open source drivers and frameworks. Ensure the full functionality and performance of Oracle database can be leveraged by the open source community. This will involve interaction with various database kernel groups and the open source community internal and external, to improve the quality and performance of Open Source drivers and frameworks for Oracle.
