The Oracle Database Solutions Architect serves as the internal technical authority for the company’s Oracle database ecosystem, ensuring that Oracle platforms are securely designed, properly governed, operationally sustainable, and aligned to supported technologies and business requirements. This role owns solution architecture, standards, design review, compliance alignment, and lifecycle roadmap for Oracle technologies across legacy and modern environments, including Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) databases, Oracle Autonomous Databases, OCI databases, Oracle Wallets, security controls, Active Directory integration, Transparent Gateway connectivity, audit strategy, and Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). The Oracle Database Solutions Architect is the final design authority for all Oracle database platforms and services, ensuring that application and project teams deliver supportable solutions. A managed services provider executes the work but must align with architect‑approved standards and designs. Key Responsibilities
Serve as the internal Oracle database architecture lead for all supported Oracle database platforms and connected technologies. Define and maintain reference architectures, design standards, configuration standards, security guardrails, and operational requirements for Oracle databases. Create and approve solution designs for new projects, application changes, database upgrades, migrations, integrations, and platform implementations. Ensure Oracle databases and integrations are designed for supportability, resilience, recoverability, compliance, performance, and lifecycle sustainability. Act as the final internal technical approver for Oracle database‑related design decisions, exceptions, and standards deviations. Provide deep architectural oversight for legacy Oracle environments, including older Oracle database platforms and Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) landscapes. Maintain knowledge and documentation of historical customizations, nonstandard implementations, integration points, legacy service accounts, and operational dependencies. Guide supportability decisions for EBS customizations, personalization, extensions, and database dependencies, focusing on reducing operational risk during patching, upgrades, and modernization. Ensure architectural decisions for legacy platforms balance business continuity, technical debt management, and future‑state migration planning. Own Oracle database security architecture and control standards, including authentication patterns, access models, least‑privilege design, privileged account governance, and security review requirements. Establish and evolve controls for Oracle Autonomous Database, define standards for Oracle Wallet lifecycle management, and lead strategy for Unified Audit Trail, Oracle Data Safe, database activity monitoring, sensitive data identification and protection, security baselines, audit retention and evidence collection. Partner with security, risk, and compliance teams to ensure Oracle controls meet internal and external audit requirements. Define architecture patterns and governance standards for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) database services, especially Autonomous Database deployments. Ensure new OCI database implementations include required standards for network and access design, compartment strategy, alerting and notifications, backup and recovery alignment, wallet handling, audit and logging configuration, and security baselines. Build and maintain operational guardrails so recurring activities are not missed, such as configuring alerts or event‑driven notifications when new OCI resources or compartments are introduced, ensuring wallet backup procedures are implemented and maintained, and validating required post‑provisioning tasks for new database deployments. Define standards for Oracle integration with Active Directory, including authentication, authorization, group mapping, and account governance patterns. Establish architecture and support expectations for service accounts, shared accounts, and privileged access models in Oracle environments. Provide expertise in Oracle integration components such as Transparent Gateway and other cross‑platform or heterogeneous connectivity patterns. Ensure integrations are supportable, secure, documented, and aligned with vendor support boundaries. Define monitoring architecture and standards for Oracle platforms, including OEM strategy, alerting requirements, health checks, and operational dashboards. Provide architectural guidance for Oracle Enterprise Manager, including monitoring design, target management, plug‑in strategy, and supportability considerations. Partner with the managed services provider to ensure monitoring, alerting, backup validation, and routine maintenance tasks are implemented consistently and documented clearly. Identify operational gaps where critical activities depend on tribal knowledge and convert them into standardized runbooks, controls, and automated checks where possible. Develop roadmaps for moving older Oracle platforms to newer, supportable technologies. Lead solutions architecture planning for major Oracle upgrades, platform refreshes, migrations, and new implementations. Evaluate technical debt, customizations, compatibility constraints, and support risks in existing systems, then define practical transition paths. Advise business and IT leadership on sequencing, dependency management, risk, and architecture tradeoffs for Oracle modernization initiatives. Act as the internal counterpart to the external managed services provider, ensuring provider teams follow company standards, understand environment‑specific requirements, and engage appropriately. Validate that operational procedures, design assumptions, and support models from the provider account for legacy complexity, customizations, audit requirements, and non‑obvious dependencies. Review service provider deliverables such as implementation plans, architecture recommendations, standards changes, exception requests, and root‑cause analyses. Reduce dependency on unmanaged tribal knowledge by documenting and institutionalizing critical Oracle architectural decisions and support expectations. Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of progressive experience in Oracle database architecture, engineering, or senior DBA/architect roles. Deep expertise in Oracle database technologies across legacy and cloud platforms, including architecture, security, operational design, and lifecycle planning. Strong experience with Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) environments, including knowledge of customizations, dependencies, and support considerations.

Experience working in a hybrid model where operations are outsourced/managed externally and architecture/governance remains internal. Experience with Oracle modernization programs involving legacy‑to‑cloud migrations, EBS‑related database changes, platform upgrades, database consolidation, and compliance uplift initiatives. Knowledge of Oracle backup/recovery architecture, automation patterns, and operational hardening. Experience establishing cloud controls for services where legacy policy models do not cleanly apply.
