Job Description
As an Oracle DBA you will focus on database administration, but we hope that there will also be time for you to participate in the implementation of our gaming system as DB developer as well. Apart from production and certification systems (provided to customers, regulators, and external game developers) you will also help out with administrating development and test system databases.
TruServ is a server-based gaming system, hence all gaming and monetary transactions performed on the gaming terminals are acknowledged and stored by the central system before they are presented to the player on the terminal. The database solution consists of a frontend database handling the transaction-intensive gaming activities and a backend database providing system management, reporting, and integrations with external systems.
High availability is critical due to 24/7 gaming and integrations with regulatory systems that at any time can request services and expects response within regulated intervals. Short response times are also crucial in order to provide a state-of-the-art gaming experience to the players.
On top of that, production systems store transactional data online for several years due to audit-regulations and as a result the DB becomes relatively large. Older data also need to be available for restore into the online database in case of audit.
Our Oracle environment currently involves Oracle Enterprise 12C and later (with and without Multitenant) on Oracle Linux.
We utilise RAC, Data Guard, ASM, Partitioning, and RMAN. For monitoring and surveillance we currently use Toad and OP5 with scripts.
We are also looking at incorporating active data guard, advanced security (AD integration, encryption), advanced compression and enterprise manager.
