Come join an energetic team with a passion to push the limits of traditional databases to build a highly scalable platform for efficient processing of semistructured data models, like JSON, XML and other Big Data representations. We are looking for candidates with strong systems background and a passion for solving complex problems in large systems.

We store JSON & XML natively in the Oracle database. In particular, we develop native storage, indexing and querying for JSON and XML content for efficient retrieval. The growth in the use of this data has created a need to manage it with the same degree of rigor as is needed for other mission-critical data. We provide Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) APIs to support application development to manage the documents in the Oracle Database. We work hard on cutting edge technology, to help define the semistructured standards and stay ahead of our competitors.

As a member of our team, you will be responsible for designing efficient algorithms for storage and retrieval of semistructured data, and making sure it works in a scalable, performant manner with Oracle database infrastructure. We seek individuals with a strong background in systems level programming, including knowledge of compilers and database internals like query and index processing. Prior knowledge of JSON / XML / XQuery is preferable but not required.
