Job Description
About Us / Project Context
Our DBaaS (Database as a Service) team operates a central platform for automated provisioning and management of databases across multiple environments (e.g., AWS, GCP) and various DBMS (Oracle, PostgreSQL).
Current setup:
Database provisioning (create, modify, delete) is handled via CI/CD pipelines in GitLab

These additional functions communicate with other systems and portals via APIs
Technical background of the existing solution:
The current portal is based on an Oracle database with Oracle APEX frontend
Core business logic is mostly implemented in PL/SQL within the database

Develop a modern DBaaS platform in parallel with the existing system, with the goal of fully replacing it once complete
Port and re-implement existing functionalities into a modern, service-oriented architecture
