ODI Upgrade DBA(Contract)

** Only India-based DBAs apply.

Quantisage is a boutique Oracle consulting firm (ISO 27001 / 9001 / CMMC) running a multi-project OCI program for a major higher-education client. This contract role owns one project end-to-end: upgrading an Oracle Data Integrator estate from 12 to the 14c generation on OCI Environments.

Responsibilities

• Define the 14c target build on the ODI Marketplace image (BYOL), carrying forward the existing compute footprint and single standalone-agent topology
• Deploy 14c instances side-by-side with the running 12c estate across Dev, Test, and Production
• Clone and upgrade the Master and Work repositories hosted on Oracle Autonomous Database, never modifying the originals in place
• Migrate and validate customized Knowledge Modules; repoint and validate the standalone agent
• Verify connectivity across every source type — Autonomous Database, SQL Server, Postgres, and flat files
• Author and execute a risk-based regression strategy: full coverage of critical load plans, representative sampling across the wider mapping inventory, and performance comparison against the 12c baseline across full nightly cycles
• Author the cutover runbook, switch-back rollback procedure, change-management packages, and Go/No-Go checklist; execute the production cutover in the approved window
• Support client user acceptance testing and remediate upgrade-induced defects
• Deliver hands-on knowledge transfer and final documentation to client teams, operating within a security-hardened OCI tenancy

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Oracle Data Integrator administration and development, with deep ODI 12c internals
• At least one major ODI upgrade or migration executed end-to-end in production, including Master/Work repository upgrades
• ODI Marketplace on OCI deployment experience — image provisioning, agent configuration, wallet-based connectivity
• Experience with repositories on Autonomous Database (ATP/ADW) and ADB operational patterns
• Demonstrated regression discipline over large mapping inventories — load plan and scenario testing executed, not just planned
• Heterogeneous integration experience: SQL Server, Postgres, and flat-file sources alongside Oracle
• Proven cutover discipline — rehearsed rollback procedures and change windows delivered on time
• Excellent written communication — runbooks, change packages, and knowledge transfer materials

Preferred

• Hands-on experience with the ODI 14c generation
• Custom Knowledge Module development or migration
• Oracle GoldenGate familiarity — this platform sits between replication hops
• Analytics platform integration experience (OAC or similar BI stacks fed by ODI)
• Automation with OCI CLI, Terraform, Python, or shell
• Higher education or public sector background

To Apply: Send the following:

• Your resume (PDF)
• Your LinkedIn profile URL
• Your hourly rate
• One brief paragraph: an ODI upgrade or migration you executed end-to-end — what was the repository and agent topology, how did you validate the mapping inventory without breaking the nightly loads, and what was the outcome?
