Transactional Event Queue (TxEventQ)
is a high-throughput, feature-rich messaging platform built directly into the Oracle Database. TxEventQ enables asynchronous communication between applications which is a foundation for microservices and event-driven architectures. Its transactional messaging design and advanced features also make it an excellent foundation for building agentic AI applications.The Notification Component of TxEventQ is responsible for delivering event notifications to subscribed applications when new messages are produced in TxEventQ. The same component architecture is also used to notify applications of changes to database tables or query results.The Notification module consists of a server component which is integrated within the Oracle database and a client component which is in-built into C, Java, Python and many other programming language drivers for the database. The client component is responsible for invoking the user-specified application logic on the event delivered.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced software developer with a minimum of 3 years of experience and strong expertise in C programming to contribute to the enhancement and improvement of the TxEventQ Notification module.This role involves:
- Designing and developing core components of the TxEventQ Notification system in C.
- Applying solid knowledge of data structures and algorithms to scale the throughput of the Notification component while making it more resilient.
- Working in a highly concurrent, multi-process and multi-threaded environment within the Oracle Database architecture.
- Troubleshooting, debugging, and optimizing performance-critical areas of the system.
As you gain deeper knowledge of the module and demonstrate strong technical proficiency, you may also be involved in analyzing and resolving customer issues in collaboration with senior team members.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- 3+ years of experience and strong proficiency in C programming (system-level or performance-oriented development).
- In-depth understanding of data structures, algorithms, and concurrency models.
- Experience with multi-threaded or multi-process systems.
- Good problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Familiarity with database systems, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures is a plus.
- Knowledge of Java (Java SE) and Python is a plus.
