Role : Sr. Data Engineer - PL/SQL Developer

  • Skills: Oracle, PL/SQL development, Copilot, Claude
  • Experience: 12+ years
  • Location: Houston, TX- onsite 5 days

We are seeking a hands-on Sr. Oracle Data Engineer with Strong, expert-level expertise in Oracle, specifically PL/SQL development, including deep understanding of PL/SQL core concepts, PL/SQL objects, and how they operate at a granular level.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, maintain, and support high-quality, business-critical planning and reporting applications where the core business logic resides in the Oracle database layer.
  • Design and implement PL/SQL solutions, translating business requirements into robust technical specifications that solve problems both for the present and for future scale.
  • Own the full engineering cycle end-to-end: development, testing, and production support, operating without a dedicated QA team.
  • Interact directly with the business team when needed to refine requirements, propose the best technical approach, and deliver the solution.
  • Provide occasional after-hours support for business-critical incidents when needed - not routinely but stepping up when the situation requires it.
  • Leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality, treating AI as a helper - not as a substitute for genuine engineering judgment.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to technical decisions, bringing a proactive, curious, and prototype-driven mindset.
  • Actively seek opportunities to innovate and optimize - bringing new ideas and prototypes forward in an environment where leadership encourages exploration.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Strong, expert-level expertise in Oracle, specifically PL/SQL development, including deep understanding of PL/SQL core concepts, PL/SQL objects, and how they operate at a granular level.
  • Solid command of SQL fundamentals and the ability to write, optimize, and troubleshoot complex queries in high-volume, business-critical environments.
  • Experience with Python
  • Experience working with Oracle in enterprise environments where the database holds the core business logic.
  • Hands-on experience supporting business-critical, user-centric applications in fast-paced environments where engineers own development, testing, and production support.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate business requirements directly into technical specifications without heavy hand-off layers.
  • Experience using AI development tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) as productivity helpers, with the discipline to review, understand, and validate AI-generated code before adopting it.
  • Proactive, communicative, and adaptable - able to flex across multiple applications and reporting lines as business needs evolve.

Nice to Have:

  • Hands-on experience with SingleStore database
  • Exposure to Oracle 26ai features and AI-integrated database capabilities.
  • Experience with SOX-compliant application support and audited environments.
  • Prior experience in the oil & gas or energy sector
