Hello everyone,
I have a senior Oracle Applications DBA opening here at Pythian's
headquarters in Ottawa. Working at Pythian is different than working
in-house or as a consultant, because you'll be making your
contributions available to each of the customers assigned to your
team, allowing you to see more use cases, more technologies, and work
with more and varied environments, all the while building interesting
and long-lasting working relationships with your peers.
I will gladly sponsor a work visa to come to Canada for the right
candidate anywhere in the world.
We support some of the most interesting and mission-critical Oracle
Applications environments in the world, including one that is FDA-
regulated in support of a global biosciences company. Meaning lives
are at stake. It doesn't get any more mission-critical, or more
personally rewarding, than that.
Top criteria:
* Outstanding Oracle Apps DBA on UNIX skills, bonus points for
Apps RAC and major implementation and upgrades experience
* Exceptional troubleshooting, problem-solving and learning skills
* Superior productivity per hour and overall getting-the-job-done-
right abilities
* Fluent communication skills in English, both written and oral,
are mandatory. Second or third languages are also a huge benefit (we
have customers all over the world and are always eager to add a
language to our repertoire)
* Core DBA skills are a prerequisite for Apps DBA at this level,
but you know that already
* Publications, blogging and presentations experience and interest
a plus
* Experience with Oracle Applications Server and Portal a plus
* SAP, Peoplesoft and other ERP experience a plus
Job highlights:
* Work in an elite team of Apps DBAs for an elite group and
growing of customers; you'll learn more here in a year than in any in-
house DBA job no matter how long you stay; I personally guarantee it.
* Work and gain valuable experience on every mainstream platform,
including AIX, HP/UX, Solaris, Linux, Tru64, Windows, etc.
* Support every mainstream database technology and feature,
including Oracle RAC, advanced queuing, advanced replication, every
flavour of dataguard, RMAN, streams, etc. etc.
* Work across multiple industries including health care,
manufacturing, media, dot-com, education, retail, services, and many
more.
* Work in a company that values hard work, not long work.
* Work in a company that will allow you to research and write
articles, presentations and blog posts on company time, and pay for
you to present your research at just about any user conference
worldwide where it gets accepted.
