• Lead application security configurations such as SSL certificates, profile options, and compliance-related activities, and partner with security/audit teams on remediation.
• Define and oversee housekeeping and environment health standards including log/output purging, workflow data cleanup, disk space monitoring, and proactive health checks.
• Own environment cloning (APPS), including automation and standardization of the cloning process.
• Lead release and change management activities including migration of custom objects, SIT/UAT support, and post-deployment validation, acting as a key approver and technical reviewer.
• Mentor and upskill junior DBAs, embedding DB best practices and standards across the team and raising the overall technical bar.
• Partner closely with Product, Development, and Infrastructure teams to plan, coordinate, and implement DB initiatives that drive customer happiness and operational excellence.
• Contribute to long-term EBS platform strategy, including cloud migration readiness (e.g., OCI, Database@Cloud) and modernization initiatives.

Who you are:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering/Computer Science/Information Technology, or related industry experience or equivalent training and experience.
