• Identifies performance and scalability bottlenecks and issues and propose solutions to resolve the same.
• Simulates user/system traffic/load using scripts or other mechanisms, measure, evaluate and analyze component behavior.
• Optimizes code, queries, and system configurations to improve response time, scalability, and resource efficiency (CPU, memory, I/O).
• Analyzes and interprets Oracle wait events, AWR Raw data and trace and correlate observations and analysis to system behavior.
• Generates and analyzes AWR, ASH and ADDM reports.
• Extrapolates system behavior under representative load to predict system behavior under full load/stress.
• Extrapolates system behavior from application and data tier metrics.
• Communicates complex results, analysis, and metrics to diverse technical and non-technical audience.
• Evaluates and predicts future performance needs based on application usage trends, traffic patterns, and growth projections.
• Conducts detailed root cause analysis (RCA) on performance issues to pinpoint the underlying cause of slowdowns or failures.

Position will be remote. Program will allow candidates who are within the state (Any location within the State of Texas).
