Summary

Oracle Migration Exp is required skills (candidate should be very strong in it), and VMware experience. Some exposure to VCF is fine enough for this role

Responsibilities:

Oracle Database Migration

Plan, test, and execute migrations of Oracle Database instances into VMware virtual machines within the existing VCF 9.1 environment
Perform Oracle workload migrations between virtual machines and across environments with minimal disruption to production services
Validate data integrity, connectivity, and application compatibility before and after each migration
Right-size virtual machine configurations (vCPU, memory, storage I/O) based on Oracle Database workload requirements and VMware best practices
Document migration plans, runbooks, and post-migration validation reports

Oracle Database Configuration & Best Practices on VMware

Configure Oracle Database instances and schemas in accordance with VMware and Oracle best practices for virtualized database workloads
Deploy and manage Oracle Data Guard and Real Application Clusters (RAC) within the VMware virtual environment, including listener configuration, standby management, and failover testing
Apply VMware-specific Oracle tuning recommendations including NUMA alignment, large memory pages, storage latency settings, and vCPU scheduling
Assist with Oracle Database performance troubleshooting in the VMware context, working with the platform team where infrastructure-level investigation is required

Day-to-Day VMware Operations

Operate confidently within a vSphere 6.7 environment — provisioning, cloning, snapshotting, and reconfiguring virtual machines as needed
Navigate and work within a VCF 9.1 environment, utilizing existing workload domains and pre-configured resources for Oracle VM deployments
Consume NSX-T virtual network segments and gateways already in place — connecting VMs to the correct segments and troubleshooting basic VM-level connectivity issues
Work with the storage team to present and configure datastores and VMDKs appropriately for Oracle Database performance requirements

Collaboration & Documentation

Work closely with DBA, application, and platform teams to coordinate migration windows and post-migration validation
Produce clear, accurate technical documentation including migration runbooks, VM build standards, and Oracle configuration baselines
Raise and track infrastructure requests with the platform team for any VCF, NSX-T, or HCX-related changes that fall outside the scope of this role

Required Qualifications:

Experience

4+ years of hands-on experience working in VMware vSphere environments, including vSphere 6.7
Working knowledge of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 — sufficient to navigate the environment, understand workload domains, and deploy VMs within an existing platform
Working knowledge of VMware NSX-T — understanding of virtual network segments and logical gateway topology; ability to connect VMs to existing segments and diagnose basic connectivity issues (no design or implementation responsibility)
Proven experience migrating Oracle Database workloads into and within VMware virtual environments
Hands-on experience with Oracle Data Guard and/or Oracle RAC in a virtualized context
Solid understanding of Oracle Database configuration best practices on VMware (NUMA, vCPU, memory, storage I/O)

Technical Skills

VMware vSphere 6.7 — VM provisioning, cloning, snapshots, resource configuration, and vCenter management
VMware VCF 9.1 — workload domain awareness, VM deployment within existing domains (operational, not architectural)
VMware NSX-T — understanding of network segments, T1 gateways, and overlay networking; connecting and troubleshooting VMs at the network edge (no NSX-T design, deployment, or management required)
Oracle Database (19c, 21c, or 23ai) — installation, configuration, migration, Data Guard, RMAN backup/restore
Oracle migration tooling — RMAN, Data Pump (expdp/impdp), GoldenGate, or Transportable Tablespaces
PowerShell, PowerCLI, and/or shell scripting for routine VMware and Oracle operational tasks
