JOB DESCRIPTION
Senior / Principal Software Engineer or Architect
Database Engine, Search & Document Systems
Build the Next Generation of Database Infrastructure
We're looking for exceptional systems engineers to help shape the next generation of document, search, and AI-enabled capabilities inside Oracle Database.

This role is for engineers who enjoy solving hard systems problems across database internals, query processing, indexing, storage engines, search infrastructure, language design, and performance engineering.

Strong candidates often come from backgrounds in database engines, search and information retrieval, storage engines, compilers, distributed systems, or other systems software.

We're hiring across multiple technical areas, so you don't need experience in every domain. What matters most is a track record of building production systems, strong engineering fundamentals, and the ability to solve complex technical challenges at enterprise scale.

Note:
This is
not
an LLM training or prompt engineering role. Our AI work focuses on the data layer—document processing,



indexing, hybrid retrieval, query infrastructure, and the systems that power intelligent applications.

What You'll Work On
Depending on your background and interests, you'll contribute to one or more of the following areas.

SQL/JSON & Document Engine Internals
Design and implement core database functionality for JSON and document workloads, including query processing, indexing, optimization, execution, and storage.

You'll profile, benchmark, and optimize performance across the stack—from storage formats through query execution and optimizer behavior.

Relevant Experience
- Database internals
- Query engines
- Storage engines
- Indexing
- Query optimization
- Document data models

Full-Text Search & Hybrid Retrieval
Build search capabilities integrated directly into Oracle Database, including inverted indexes, analyzers, ranking, relevance, and query integration.

You'll also help develop h
