...
ng at the core intersection of high-availability engineering and complex data manipulation, you will engineer robust Extraction, Transformation, and Load (ETL) routines, spearhead large-scale cloud migrations, and implement high-tier clustering and replication frameworks to ensure optimal data integrity, absolute system availability, and proactive capacity planning.
Location: Toronto, ON (Fully Onsite, 7.25 hours per day between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM)
Duration: 9-month contract.
Advantages
High-Scale Dual-Stack Footprint: Command a premier technical role managing both Oracle and SQL Server systems in a unified hybrid ecosystem.
Advanced Replication Mastery: Expand your professional profile by managing next-generation high-availability arrays leveraging Oracle RAC and active GoldenGate logical replication topologies.
High-Profile Legislative Impact: Drive core database strategies for mission-critical initiatives tied directly to central provincial modernization frameworks.
Predictable Structured Onsite Track: Capitalize on standard, stable daytime delivery hours inside an organized, highly governed public sector IT cluster.
Responsibilities
Enterprise DBMS Administration: Lead the installation, multi-node configuration, maintenance, technical cloning, and complex structural upgrade of enterprise relational database environments.
Advanced Database Design & Modeling: Author low-level physical database designs, logical storage models, and distributed data layouts to align with enterprise architecture principles.
High-Availability & Replication Engineering: Implement, patch, and manage robust disaster recovery and data clustering matrices using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), GoldenGate, and Data Guard technologies.
Complex Programmable Logic & ETL: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, very strong PL/SQL data extraction procedures, database triggers, custom functions, and modular packages.
Performance Tuning & Diagnostic Analysis: Run deep-dive system query optimizations, execute schema indexing tuning, audit execution plans, and eliminate wait-state bottlenecks across Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server systems.
Cloud Migration & Hybrid Integration: Architect and execute structured data migrations from legacy on-premise iron configurations into Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) platforms.
Proactive Capacity & Infrastructure Planning: Formulate comprehensive hardware and storage projections, compute scaling factors, and manage structural capacity planning parameters.
Security Remediation & Patch Management: Research, evaluate, and apply critical technology stack patch sets, maintenance packs, and cybersecurity vulnerability remediations.
Operations, Backup, & Recovery Governance: Enforce rigid database rules, oversee enterprise-level automated backup and point-in-time recovery workflows, and manage environment status logs via ITIL procedures (Incident, Problem, Change, and Configuration management).
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Mentorship: Utilize advanced information retrieval packages and administration interfaces (TOAD, Oracle Enterprise Manager - OEM, and DB Artisan) to triage technical problems alongside Cloud Architects, Middleware Engineers (WebLogic), and Project Managers..
Qualifications
Core Database Seniority: 10+ years of progressive professional experience in enterprise-level database administration, database design, software implementation, maintenance, and multi-tiered vendor support.
Advanced PL/SQL & ETL Toolkit: 5+ years of verified, very strong experience writing PL/SQL configurations, constructing complex data transformation routines (ETL), and applying rigorous database query optimization techniques.
Multi-Platform DBMS Acumen: Direct, hands-on administrative expertise installing, migrating, and configuring enterprise database engines across both Oracle Database and Microsoft SQL Server environments.
High-Availability Framework Competency: Practical infrastructure engineering experience configuring and maintaining high-availability technologies, specifically Oracle RAC, GoldenGate, and Data Guard.
Cloud Infrastructure & Migration Experience: Proven experience translating on-premise database workloads into production-ready Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) platforms.
Advanced Diagnostic Tool Literacy: High proficiency leveraging industry-standard administrative interfaces and query utilities, explicitly TOAD, Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), and DB Artisan.
ITIL Framework Grounding: Solid practical background executing database tasks under formalized Incident, Problem, Change, Configuration, and Capacity Management workflows.
Soft Skills: Outstanding analytical, decision-making, and verbal/written communication mechanics, with an established track record of tracking data dependencies and meeting strict targets under compressed timelines.
