Principal Software Engineer - PL/SQL - Autonomous Data Platform

We are currently looking for initiative-taking engineers with knowledge in databases, data platform,  SQL, PL/SQL, Python and Java to join as part of the Autonomous Data Platform team. You’ll work with advanced cloud technologies, databases, and distributed processing systems to create robust, scalable software solutions for data engineers, scientists, and analysts.

The Autonomous Data Platform (ADP) adds drop-in value to customers who use the Oracle Autonomous Database. We believe the following salient features define the Data Platform: 

Autonomous Data Management: Empowers Users of varying skill levels (Data Integrators, Data Stewards, Data Scientists, Power users and Analysts) to be able to easily create, transform, publish, manage and use data sets. Data sets can be local (files, tables, streams) or remote (federated access) entities. 

Autonomous Analytics: Declarative metadata that a) helps capture the semantics for preparing and managing a data set, b) associates one data set to another. Data Driven and metadata context enabled insights (data relationships, outliers, patterns)   produced autonomously. 

Autonomous Performance: Semantic layers offer better metadata context and hence can help drive better execution plans. 

Tooling: To facilitate the creation of necessary metadata. The design principle should be to infer relationships and help auto-creation of the necessary metadata.
