• Batch Architecture & Stream Optimization: Design, optimize, and troubleshoot complex nightly batch schedules,

  'Batch Schedule Completed On Time' rates and minimal billing cycle delays.
• 24/7 Production Support & SLA Oversight: Drive Level 2 and Level 3 production triage for Priority 1 (P1) and Priority 2

  Interval Data (IMD) processing, smart meter event processing, and device lifecycle flows across SGG and MDM
  subsystems.
• Upgrade & Environment Strategy: Lead technical impact assessments for Oracle cloud releases, service pack
  upgrades, OS/database patches, and environment refresh/backflow activities. Ensure zero-regression deployments
  through rigorous automated test governance.

Qualifications & Skills:

• 8–20+ years of hands-on experience in Oracle Utilities implementations, upgrades, and managed services (CC&B v2.x,
  C2M v2.6+, CCS, MDM, SGG).
• Deep expertise in Batch Processing architecture: configuring thread allocation, batch job controls, batch monitoring
  queries, stream restarts, and error handling (e.g., usage transaction exclusions, POSTROUT log analysis).
• Demonstrated mastery of OUAF (Oracle Utilities Application Framework), Java, Groovy, SQL/PL-SQL, HQL, COBOL-toJava migrations, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environment architecture.
• Proven track record acting as a Technical/Functional Lead for utility clients, managing offshore teams of 5–15+
  developers and engineers.
• Certified Oracle Utilities Implementation Professional (CCS, C2M, or CC&B) strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 Type II compliance, NERC-CIP requirements, and ITIL incident/change management
  frameworks.
