Summary
As our Solutions Analyst/Developer at South East Water, you will design, build, deploy, and constantly improve our Oracle-based applications and databases.
You'll work right at the intersection of our hybrid setup, bridging our on-premise data center with our modern Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment.
In this role, you'll write highly efficient database code and use Oracle APEX to design clean web interfaces, keeping our data flowing smoothly between both worlds.
We are a forward-thinking technology team bridging the reliability of robust, secure on-premise infrastructure with the dynamic scalability of the cloud. Our core systems are built on Oracle and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
We are seeking a highly skilled Developer to design, develop, and modernise our suite of business-critical web applications.
If you are a database-centric developer who loves building highly responsive low-code applications while navigating the exciting complexities of a hybrid on-premise/GCP multi-data-centre architecture, we want to hear from you!
Main Responsibilities
Oracle APEX & Web Development
- Design, develop, and maintain secure, responsive, and user-friendly Oracle APEX applications.
- Implement custom UI/UX requirements using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and custom APEX plugins.
- Configure APEX authentication and authorization schemes integrated with enterprise Identity Providers (IdP).
- Build and manage interactive grids, charts, and highly customized reports.
Database Engineering & PL/SQL
- Write clean, maintainable, and highly optimized PL/SQL code (packages, procedures, functions, triggers, and types).
- Architect and design relational data models, ensuring data integrity, normalization, and performance efficiency.
- Perform query tuning, analyse execution plans, and optimize indexes to ensure low latency across massive datasets.
- Build robust RESTful APIs using Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) to expose database endpoints.
