Principal Software Developer - Core DB Security

Security is absolutely fundamental for today's businesses, and yet the news articles remind us almost daily about fragile security technologies and implementations. Enterprises deploy sophisticated tools, scanning software, all with just one goal - to protect their data. The stakes are high - the customers are worried about the confidentiality of sensitive data, privacy of their employees, customers, or citizen data, and wondering whether the next attack is going to come from well-heeled external hackers or completely connected insiders.

The Autonomous Database Security group at Oracle is responsible for developing database security technologies that provide defense-in-depth for sensitive business data. We are the first in the industry to come up with innovative technologies such as SQL Firewall, Real Application Security, Unified and Conditional Audit, Database Vault, Multi-factor Authorization, Transparent Data Encryption, Fine-Grained Auditing, Multi-level Database security, and data classification, integrating a wide spectrum of security technologies. We pride ourselves in building technologies that are transparent to the applications that use the database, adds negligible overhead, and integrates well with existing cloud infrastructure. Homeland security, cloud hosting, retail, financial, defense and healthcare are among the industries using the offerings produced by our group.

We are working in exciting areas of database access controls, database auditing, compliance controls, key management, data privacy, secure configuration and more. Our group is the perfect home for someone passionate about building security solutions that scale, perform, and most importantly keep a few steps ahead of hackers and malicious insiders.
