Travel up to 10%
You Will:
Install, configure, patch, and upgrade Oracle database software across AWS RDS environments.
Perform proactive performance monitoring, S?L tuning, and resource optimization, including PeopleSoft-aware diagnostics (PeopleTools metadata, PSFT schemas, App Server/PIA/Process Scheduler impacts).
Ensure database availability, integrity, and reliability through automated monitoring and alerting using CloudWatch, RDS metrics, and custom PeopleSoft health checks.
Design and implement resilient AWS RDS backup and recovery strategies leveraging automated backups, point-in-time recovery, cross-region snapshot replication, and scheduled restore-validation to ensure data integrity and operational continuity.
Enforce database security policies, including user access, encryption, auditing, ATO compliance, CAT I/II remediation, and S?L inactivity/audit reporting.
Troubleshoot database issues, including slow queries, locks, PeopleSoft metadata inconsistencies, and cross-tier performance bottlenecks.
Deliver off-hours production support with fast, targeted AD-HOC troubleshooting to restore service stability and resolve critical issues.
Create and maintain documentation for processes, architecture, configurations, and operational runbooks.
Automate routine tasks using shell scripting, Python, S?L automation, Lambda workflows, and Step Functions.
Support database migrations and upgrades across environments (on-premises/cloud), including PeopleTools upgrades, PUM lifecycle activities, and environment refreshes (masking, scrambling, schema sync).
Participate in disaster recovery planning and testing exercises, including High Availability architecture implementation for PeopleSoft (Multi-AZ, failover testing, DB redundancy, autoscaling alignment).
Adapt to rapid changes in requirements, tooling, and security mandates while maintaining accuracy in S?L audit reports, compliance artifacts, and operational deliverables.
