The opening is a test development position for Oracle Clusterware area in Database Test and Tools development team
Oracle Clusterware is a portable cluster software that allows clustering of independent servers so that they cooperate as a single system Oracle Clusterware was first released with Oracle Database 10g Release 1 as the required cluster technology for the Oracle multi-instance database, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
The job:
Database Test and Tools Development team is looking for bright and talented engineers from top tier institutes to apply their ingenuity to test Oracle s products It is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills as a Test Development Engineer for Oracle s cloud enabled platforms by developing cloud enabled tests for various features in Database, Cloud services and Engineered systems We need to develop tools/ framework and test applications/scripts and automate the test setup needed for the features of Oracle code we are testing and often would need to simulate functionality in a regular Linux machine to run functional tests
This is a programming position as all the tests/frameworks are applications which should exercise a feature in the yet to be released version of Oracle product and need to be designed and implemented
These test programs runs fully automated on a server farm - so our test framework need to configure, run test applications/inject failures, and verify results by itself
Most of the features would need very specific test programs/frameworks The opening is for an individual contributor position in Database test and tools development team In this position, you will be working very closely with the feature development team to create a test plan/tools/infrastructure needed for the feature
You will also be reviewing the feature specifications (Functional & Design spec) before it is finalized as your inputs from a customer perspective might be important in the implementation
Our primary development platform is Linux, and depending on the area you work on the coding would involve Perl, Python, C or Java to develop test programs
The challenge and the advantage is in understanding the technology and apply it in a practical setup
We are alos working with Generative AI based tool and automation development and would expect some basic understanding of working with GenAI
What you gain:
Exposure to cutting edge technologies/products is database/cloud space Work with core team of people from top colleges to build best in class Database products Deep dive into Database/Cluster/Cloud services domains Exposure to Open source technologies, Generative AI/RAG/Prompt Engineering
The group:
Database test & tools development group (part of the database server group of Server Technologies Division) works on the upcoming releases of Oracle database server, Database cloud services & Engineered systems enveloping a wide range of technologies The group with its state of the art development infrastructure and practices, helps shape technology that has been important for a large number of Fortune 2000 and other companies The group foresees product usage scenarios, simulates real life problems, tests the forthcoming releases of Oracle products and services to ensure that customers receive them with the highest quality As a member of the software engineering division, you will assist in defining and developing test programs and tools for tasks associated with the test development of Oracle Clusterware components, which include understanding of Operating systems as well
Provide technical leadership to other software developers Specify, design and implement modest changes to existing software and tools to meet changing needs
