In addition, do you have knowledge and/or sufficient interest to deal in depth with Oracle Engineered Systems (e.g.: exadata and ZFS platforms) or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? Are you willing to make the necessary efforts to obtain the necessary certifications in this? Then Cegeka has a challenge for you! We are looking for an employee who can take on the database and DB machine management role.

Thorough knowledge in this field is an added bonus. What does the job entail?

• You know the features of these platforms and can apply them according to the customer's needs.
