Solutions ArchitectVp DataData Viz Specialist

Are you a builder that lives and breathes Oracle? Have you spent years tuning production workloads, diagnosing lock contention under heavy OLTP workloads, reasoning about query planner decisions, managing HA & DR solutions
guiding large-scale migrations? Are you the person your organization turns to when Oracle system is misbehaving at 3 AM and when leadership needs a whiteboard session on where the data platform is headed next? As a Specialist Solutions Architect for RDS for Oracle and Oracle Database @AWS, you will be the technical authority that AWS's largest and most complex customers rely on to architect, migrate
operate RDS Oracle workloads. This is not a generalist database role. You will focus on RDS for Oracle and Oracle Database @AWS, going deep where others go broad. You will partner directly with customer engineers and CTOs to design well architected production architectures that hold up under real-world pressure and the operational patterns that distinguish battle-tested practitioners from those with only surface-level familiarity. You will have experience with multi-terabyte database migrations. You will collaborate closely with the RDS service team to surface customer patterns, escalate feature gaps
drive the product roadmap on behalf of the customers you serve. Equally important, you will operate as a thought leader and force multiplier across the broader Specialist SA organization, mentoring teammates, publishing technical content, presenting at AWS re:Invent and AWS Summits
establishing repeatable frameworks that raise the bar for PostgreSQL engagements worldwide. Key job responsibilities
Serve as the technical advisor for AWS's key customers running or migrating to RDS for Oracle and Oracle Database @AWS, providing hands-on architectural guidance from design through production operation.
Guide customers on RDS operational best practices including performance & scaling, high availability & durability, monitoring & observability, maintenance & patching, backup & recovery, security and operational hygiene
Design and validate RDS Oracle architectures that leverage RDS-specific capabilities, ensuring customers realize the full value of the platform.
Partner with the RDS service team as the voice of the customer, surfacing recurring pain points, advocating for feature enhancements, and participating in roadmap reviews.
Engage with customer engineers in whiteboard sessions, architecture reviews, and technical deep dives, providing candid guidance and pushing back diplomatically when a proposed design will not hold up at scale.
Develop and publish technical thought leadership content including blogs, reference architectures, white papers, and re-usable artifacts, that elevate the broader Oracle community on AWS.
Advise customers complex database migrations.
Present at key industry events including AWS re:Invent, AWS Summits, Oracle AI World, and customer-facing workshops.
