Transparency matters! While we’re not actively hiring for a Sr. Oracle Database Engineer at this moment, we’re always excited to connect with talented professionals who share our vision for innovation. If you're passionate about driving meaningful impact alongside us, we’d love to hear from you! Please do apply and we’ll reach out to you in the near future.  

We are seeking an experienced Senior Oracle Database Engineer to join our team supporting mission-critical data environments. In this role you will be responsible for designing, developing, maintaining and optimizing Oracle database schemas, packages, procedures, functions and other PL/SQL components. You will also work within an ETL/data-warehousing context — leveraging tools such as Qlik Replicate (or similar) and contributing to efficient data movement, transformation and analytical readiness. The ideal candidate has hands-on Oracle architecture experience, strong PL/SQL skills, experience with data-warehouse environments, and a proven ability to work in secure/distributed settings.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement and maintain Oracle database schemas to support both transactional (OLTP) and analytical/data-warehouse workloads.
• Write, review, test and deploy PL/SQL: procedures, functions, packages, triggers, bulk operations, set‐based logic and data cleansing routines.
• Optimize queries, implement indexing strategies, partitioning and other performance-tuning measures to ensure database efficiency, reliability and scalability.
• Lead and support ETL/data-warehousing operations: coordinate data ingestion, transformation, replication and loading workflows using tools like Qlik Replicate (or equivalent), ensuring data accuracy and timeliness.
• Collaborate closely with data modelers, application developers, BI/data-warehouse teams, and DevOps/CICD pipelines to deliver database solutions aligned with business and technical needs.
• Monitor, troubleshoot and resolve production issues; define and implement database monitoring, alerting and supportability practices.
• Contribute to database architecture reviews, legacy code refactoring, reusable component development, and technical best-practices.
• Maintain documentation of database objects, data flows, versioning, change-controls and deploy procedures, compliant with security and governance standards.
• Because of the secure / DoW‐adjacent / CAC environment, adhere to strict access controls, audit logging, change-management and other relevant compliance protocols.

Required Qualifications

• Current, active SECRET clearance and CAC (Common Access Card).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum 6–8 years of Oracle database development/engineering experience in production environments.
• Strong expertise in Oracle (preferably 12c/18c/19c or higher) including schema design, PL/SQL development, performance tuning, and a working understanding of Oracle internals.
• Significant experience creating and maintaining Oracle packages, functions, procedures, triggers, bulk data operations.
• Solid experience with ETL / data‐warehousing environments — data ingestion, replication, transformation, loading, as well as experience with tools like Qlik Replicate (or similar) and data-warehouse schemas (star/snowflake, fact/dimension).
• Strong SQL skills (analytical queries, complex joins/aggregations, set-based logic, window functions) and ability to optimize large data sets and high-volume operations.
• Experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams: DBAs, developers, architects, BI/data-warehouse engineers.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills: ability to present technical materials to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfortable working remotely, managing priorities independently, and representing database engineering as the senior expert in the team.

Desired Qualifications

• Familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), cloud-based database services (e.g., Oracle Cloud, AWS RDS/Aurora, GCP) or hybrid on-prem/cloud architectures.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for database deployments (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Liquibase/Flyway).
• Knowledge of data-governance, metadata management, data-lineage and observability tools.
• Experience supporting U.S. Government/DoW‐contracting environments with compliance (e.g., FISMA, FedRAMP, IRAP) or similar security clearances.

What We Offer

• Fully remote work-arrangement (with preference for candidates in or near the Tysons, VA area).
• A challenging, high-visibility role working with large-scale, secure data systems.
• Opportunity to lead database engineering within a fast‐growing environment.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental and Vision Coverage 
• 401 (k) Matching
• PTO
