Job Summary:

Job Description The Database Access group at Oracle is responsible for providing functionally comprehensive, reliable, high performance, secure and highly available access to the Oracle Database in the cloud as well as on premise from various client drivers, including proprietary, standards-based and open-source drivers. The group works on the high level drivers, the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) layer, the Oracle wire protocol (TTC) and highly scalable server side protocol handlers that together connect an application written in any language securely to the Oracle Database Server to provide full featured access to the Oracle Database.

There are numerous consumers of our work both within and outside of Oracle. To name a few, the consumers of the Database Access components include the JDBC, ODP.Net, PHP OCI8 extension, Python cx_oracle, Node.js oracledb driver, and other open source drivers, various Oracle tools such as SQLPlus, Real Application Testing (RAT), SQLLoader, Data-pump, and numerous applications both inside and outside of Oracle such as Peoplesoft, Hyperion, Siebel, and SAP. The Oracle Database itself is a consumer of our components for talking to other Oracle Databases for Distributed SQL, Standby Database and Replicated Database scenarios. We work on a variety of problems that challenge us to come up with innovative solutions that further raise the already high bar for Oracle Database. The work we do has resulted in a large number of patents awarded to the members of the team. The close interaction of the database access layer with other components enables team members to also gain significant exposure to the internal workings of other database kernel components.

Our products include the Oracle Call Interface (OCI), Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI), C/C++/Java/Cobol Precompilers, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and SQL•Plus. We also develop some of the open source drivers for Oracle Database access from Node.js, Python, PHP and Go.

Oracle is looking for a highly talented and motivated individual to develop and contribute to latest web technologies, open source drivers and ORMs for Oracle Database in order to enhance our product offering and attract new developers to use Oracle Database. We are continuing to expand our focus on AI initiatives and open source language database drivers for Python, Node.js, Rust, R, and PHP as well as driver integration with the popular frameworks and ORMs used in these languages. With 23ai’s vector search capabilities we are working towards exposing this in popular open source AI tools and frameworks. This is an excellent opportunity for software developers interested in working with cutting edge technologies and help define future world-leading technologies. Responsibilities As a member of the software engineering division, you will take an active role in the definition and evolution of standard practices and procedures. Define specifications for significant new projects and specify, design and develop software according to those specifications. You will perform professional software development tasks associated with the developing, designing and debugging of software applications or operating systems. Research and evaluate latest technologies in various areas including web technologies, open source frameworks, and databases. Enhance and contribute to open source drivers for Oracle database. Ensure the full functionality and performance of Oracle database can be leveraged by the open source community. This will involve interaction with various database kernel groups and Oracle Public Cloud group. Work with open source driver developers to improve the quality and performance of Open Source drivers for Oracle.
