Principal Software Engineer - PL/SQL - Autonomous Data Platform

We are currently looking for initiative-taking engineers with knowledge in databases, data platform,  SQL, PL/SQL, Python and Java to join as part of the Autonomous Data Platform team. You’ll work with advanced cloud technologies, databases, and distributed processing systems to create robust, scalable software solutions for data engineers, scientists, and analysts.

The Autonomous Data Platform (ADP) adds drop-in value to customers who use the Oracle Autonomous Database. We believe the following salient features define the Data Platform: 

Autonomous Data Management: Empowers Users of varying skill levels (Data Integrators, Data Stewards, Data Scientists, Power users and Analysts) to be able to easily create, transform, publish, manage and use data sets. Data sets can be local (files, tables, streams) or remote (federated access) entities. 

Autonomous Analytics: Declarative metadata that a) helps capture the semantics for preparing and managing a data set, b) associates one data set to another. Data Driven and metadata context enabled insights (data relationships, outliers, patterns)   produced autonomously. 

Autonomous Performance: Semantic layers offer better metadata context and hence can help drive better execution plans. 

Tooling: To facilitate the creation of necessary metadata. The design principle should be to infer relationships and help auto-creation of the necessary metadata.  

We are seeking individuals with a deep understanding of data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and software engineering. Candidate with experience with data lake technologies, distributed processing systems like Apache Spark and table formats such as Databricks Delta, Apache Iceberg or Apache Hudi, data catalogs like AWS Glue etc. are preferred.

Work is non-routine and very complex, involving the application of advanced technical/business skills in area of specialization. You will contribute individually and as a team member, providing direction and mentoring to others. 

We are looking for an experienced engineer proficient in  PL/SQL and programming languages like C, C++, Java, Scala and related technologies. BS or MS degree or equivalent experience relevant to functional area is required. Should possess good understanding of database concepts and SQL. Should be willing and flexibility to learn and adapt to new technologies.

Preferred Qualifications:

6-10+ years of professional software engineering experience.   Strong understanding of relational databases and cloud-based data storage solutions. Experienced with open table formats (Delta, Iceberg, Hudi), data lakes, data warehouse solutions, modern data-sharing platforms and prior experience with data catalogs preferred. Experience with Apache Iceberg,Data Catalog like Glue etc, Apache Spark, Delta Share preferred.  Proficient in SQL, PL/SQL, programming languages like C, C++, Java, Scala, Python etc.  Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
