The Oracle Developer Advocates team is responsible for helping users fully leverage their investment in Oracle Database and to promote the use of Oracle Database technologies for application developers, including SQL, PL/SQL, Application Express, Oracle REST Data Services, and more.
Each Oracle Developer Advocate (ODA) is responsible for the creation of high quality and highly entertaining resources for training and education; channeling user requirements back to Product Management and Product Development; building a vibrant, engaged global user community.
The main focus for this member of the ODA team is, however, the SQL language.
To apply: Visit http://bit.ly/1zSXJGb search for req 150009IK
The ideal ODA candidate:
The ODA team is distributed geographically; you do not need to work out of Oracle Headquarters to do this job.
You should expect 25% travel, though the amount of travel will be largely up to you. The focus of our team is on building global communities, and this will be done mostly through the Internet, as opposed to via jet planes.
The ODA team is going to help Oracle Database developers utilize that language more fully, and to make it easier for all the experts "out there" (outside of Oracle) to contribute their knowledge to the global community. And along the way, we will utilize the latest multimedia and education technologies to create engaging, entertaining resources that will change the way our core application development technologies for Oracle Database are perceived and used.
If you've been around the Oracle technology community for a while and are looking for a way to contribute more, to do more, to have a greater impact, then consider the ODA position. If you want to help ensure that SQL is appreciated, leveraged and flourishes "in the wild", if you like to help others do what you have learned to do, then apply for this position.
Are You Really Excited About This Job?
I would be (I am). It's a "plum" position - you get paid to play and explore and share what you learn. But you must be an excellent and effective communicator. This means you will be auditioning for this job.
So if you think you are a good fit and want to get a jumpstart on the process, by all means apply at the link above, but also feel free to record a video explaining why SQL is such an amazing and powerful language and why I should be excited and inspired to learn it. Send me a link and I will happily take time away from writing yet another PL/SQL quiz to watch you.
Note: when you check out the job requisition, ignore everything from this on down:
"Lead a team that acts as the central resource and driving force for the design, process, manufacturing, test, quality and marketing of product(s) as they move from conception to distribution. Organize interdepartmental activities ensuring completion of the project/product on schedule and within budget...."
