We are looking for smart systems software engineers with BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science to join the Exadata Team at Oracle Server Technologies. Oracle Exadata technology is the newest innovation in Oracle's history as the provider of the industry's number one database technology. The Exadata group, part of the Server Technologies Division, is responsible for the development of all aspects of the Exadata Storage Server and Exadata Database Machine, which has been recognized as Oracle's most successful new product. The Exadata Database Machine is the only database appliance in the industry capable of providing extreme performance for data warehousing, OLTP, and consolidated workloads. Built using database and storage software from Oracle and industry-standard hardware from Sun/Intel, the Exadata Database Machine provides a fully optimized engineered system for best performance, scalability, and high availability. At the heart of every Oracle Exadata Database Machine are the Oracle Exadata Storage Servers, which are smart 'data aware' storage servers that provide Smart Scans, Smart Flash Cache, Smart Flash Log, and Hybrid Columnar Compression technologies. The Exadata group is also responsible for the development of these innovative technologies that power the entire Exadata family of systems, including various configurations of Exadata X9-2 and Exadata Expansion Rack. Additionally, the group continuously explores leading-edge technology like Persistent Memory, which is equipped on Exadata X8M and significantly boosts performance in all aspects. As a member of the software engineering division of Exadata, you will design and implement the database and Storage IO data path in the Oracle Exadata Database Machine. You will also design and implement Exadata Storage Server offload features such as Smart Scan, Smart Backup, and Smart File Creation, which are crucial for the extreme performance of the Storage Server. Furthermore, you will design and implement the architecture to run Oracle Exadata on Oracle Cloud products, ensuring that the software is fault-tolerant in the presence of unanticipated software failures. You will develop algorithms and distributed systems software that runs on a large Database and Storage cluster, working on multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, exciting, and rapidly growing environment.
