We are looking for an experienced developer of enterprise database applications to join our application team. A successful candidate needs to be comfortable designing and coding complex database objects and should ideally be familiar with recent Oracle database versions. The main role will be to design, develop and support our primary application, which has tens of thousands of users around the world and runs hundreds of millions of DB operations per month.
