Oracle Technical Architect

Intelance is appointing an Oracle Technical Architect as a contract associate for the definition phase of a major UK enterprise technology programme. You will work with Intelance's Chief Enterprise Architect and Lead Integration Architect to confirm how the Oracle estate should support a staged integration programme. The current environment includes Oracle Database 19c, IBM AIX and Oracle Data Guard. This is a focused architecture and assurance role. The expected commitment is about 10 days across an 8 to 10 week period. Delivery will be mainly remote, with limited planned travel where needed. Tasks • Verify the current Oracle database, infrastructure, resilience and integration position. • Confirm the planned Oracle 19c, IBM AIX and Oracle Data Guard changes and the dependencies they create. • Define which data and business rules must remain within Oracle. • Define the safe boundary between Oracle and the future integration platform. • Review existing direct connections and identify the highest risk dependencies. • Set requirements for availability, backup, recovery, performance, monitoring and support. • Assess whether planned Oracle and infrastructure investments remain suitable. • Provide Oracle requirements for platform and supplier selection. • Estimate specialist effort, dependencies, risks and likely delivery stages. • Produce clear technical findings and practical recommendations. Requirements • At least 10 years working with enterprise Oracle estates. • Strong recent architecture experience with Oracle Database 19c. • Strong hands on or design experience with IBM AIX and Oracle Data Guard. • Experience with highly available, business critical Oracle environments. • Experience reviewing Oracle integrations, interfaces, batch jobs, files and database links. • Strong understanding of backup, recovery, patching, performance, resilience and security. • Able to separate verified facts from assumptions and identify what needs further testing.
