Act as a subject matter expert and point of contact for other groups within Oracle Database, guiding adoption and correct usage of the features and services you deliver.
Work with support and field-facing teams as needed to help diagnose and resolve issues in production environments, contributing to root-cause analysis and long-term fixes.
Stay current with fast-moving industry and open-source initiatives across systems, networking, AI, and streaming analytics; evaluate applicability and drive pragmatic adoption where it improves Oracle Database competitiveness.
