There is a lot of excitement around NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Cassandra. We are designing a database that will supersede them all by combining the best of NoSQL and NewSQL. This will be the key infrastructure that will run tomorrow’s cloud-scale applications. Our goal is to do this while providing the enterprise capabilities that Oracle is known for. The database cloud architecture that we are designing makes a set of globally distributed database shards appear to database clients as a single, highly available and scalable virtual database. This new architecture will optimize the performance of a wide variety of applications through intelligent utilization of globally distributed resources and by transparently routing client work requests to the proper shards. This is an opportunity for you to join the team that is setting the new standard for massively scalable and available databases. Pretty cool! We are looking for highly motivated and talented individuals who want to make significant contributions to a highly visible and strategic project by solving complex problems in networking, distributed computing, high availability and extreme scalability.
