Principal Cloud Database Architect – AI & Modernisation

Principal Cloud Database Architect – AI & Modernisation

Lead enterprise database transformation. Shape the future of AI-native data platforms.

We are building an elite, customer-facing architecture team focused on accelerating enterprise adoption of Oracle Autonomous AI Database and modern cloud data platforms.

This is not a support role.
This is not a ticket-based consulting position.

This is a strategic, hands‑on architecture role for senior technologists who want to:

• Lead complex cloud and database modernisation programmes
• Migrate mission‑critical workloads from Oracle on‑premises and other databases to cloud
• Design AI‑ready architectures for global enterprises
• Influence product direction through direct customer engagement
• Operate at the intersection of engineering, architecture and innovation

You will work with some of our most strategic customers across Europe and beyond

We are looking for senior, proven practitioners with:

• 8–15+ years experience in enterprise database engineering or architecture
• Deep expertise in Oracle Database (SQL, PL/SQL; performance tuning; HA concepts)
• Experience with Mongo
  
  DB or other document databases
• Proven experience migrating workloads between database platforms
• Strong experience migrating to cloud (OCI preferred; AWS, Azure or GCP valuable)
• Linux proficiency
• Scripting ability (Python, Bash or JavaScript)
• Strong understanding of JSON‑based architectures and API‑driven systems
• 3+ years in a customer‑facing role (consulting, architecture, pre‑sales, field engineering)

• Experience with Oracle Autonomous Database
• Experience with Oracle APEX or low‑code application development
• Experience with high availability and disaster recovery architectures
• Familiarity with Snowflake or PostgreSQL
• Exposure to AI/ML integration with database platforms
• Experience in large‑scale production modernisation programmes

We are looking for individuals who:

• Thrive in complex, ambiguous technical environments
• Communicate confidently with engineers and senior stakeholders alike
• Take ownership of outcomes rather than tasks
• Enjoy learning rapidly evolving AI and cloud technologies
• Think architecturally but remain hands‑on
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build trust‑based customer relationships

We offer flexible working:

• Fully remote
• Hybrid collaboration with our global engineering teams
• Regular engagement with global engineering and product teams

Enterprise data platforms are being reshaped by AI.

Customers are re‑evaluating database strategy, cloud posture and long‑term architectural direction. This team sits at the centre of that transformation.

As a Principal Cloud Database Architect, you will:

• Drive real enterprise change
• Work on cutting‑edge AI‑native data platforms
• Build deep expertise in competitive migrations
• Help define modern best practices for cloud database architecture

If you want to operate at the frontier of database modernisation and AI‑enabled enterprise systems — this is the role.
