Would you like to work on Oracle's industry leading Database software? If so, then this job could be for you! The Sustaining Engineering work environment is technically challenging and stimulating.

The Sustaining Engineering organization is considered the go-to team for all aspects of customer-facing product development at Oracle, but we're best known for diagnosis and resolution of product defects in just about all of the Oracle Server Technologies product areas. When the Oracle support organization needs additional assistance in solving a customer-reported problem, they come to us to fix it at the source code level. Our engineers, many of whom have been with us for ten years or more, are able to piece together clues from the failures and come up with resolutions, often by reverse engineering code paths to arrive at the problem scenario. For a member of this team, it can be exceedingly gratifying to see the immediate result of our solutions. Variety and fresh challenges are defining features of our work.

Oracle ASM is Oracle's recommended storage management solution that provides an alternative to conventional volume managers, file systems, and raw devices.This is a core area in the kernel where new technology is continuously being developed to make the database server better perform, scale-up to greater throughput, and provide high availability for e-business applications. Being the core area, you have the opportunity to deal with challenging customer problems that requires systems knowledge i.e.,problems often span across key areas of operating systems, databases, parallel and distributed systems as well cloud infrastructure.
