Oracle GoldenGate Solution Engineer

ImagineX is a tech company that deploys AI-assisted teams to build and secure mission-critical enterprise solutions with our clients – spanning software, data, and AI. Structured like a software company, not a traditional consultancy, we blend deep technical expertise with authentic values, achieving world-class satisfaction (NPS 91). Our dedicated teams specialize in software, data, and AI across the U.S. and LATAM, bridging the gap between boutique agility and enterprise scale.

We’re seeking an Oracle GoldenGate Solution Engineer who can design, operationalize, and support enterprise-grade CDC pipelines across heterogeneous environments. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex data ecosystems, understands the nuances of real-time data movement, and can partner across teams to deliver resilient, scalable integration patterns. You’ll play a key role in modernizing data flows, enabling real-time analytics, and strengthening enterprise data platforms. This is a 100% remote full-time opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operationalize CDC pipelines using Oracle GoldenGate to support near real-time data movement across platforms (e.g., DB2, Oracle → Snowflake, Kafka, Iceberg).
• Configure and manage GoldenGate Extract, Replicat, and Trail processes across z/OS, distributed systems, and cloud environments.
• Administer and support GoldenGate environments (on-prem and AWS), ensuring high availability, performance tuning, and platform stability across dev/test/prod.
• Monitor CDC pipelines and proactively troubleshoot replication issues, including latency, failures, and data consistency gaps; execute restarts, backfills, and replays.
• Collaborate with DBA, Data Platform, Infrastructure, and Security teams to onboard new pipelines, manage dependencies, and align with enterprise data priorities.
• Support full pipeline lifecycle activities: environment setup, configuration, testing, cutover, and post-production stabilization across multiple concurrent programs.
• Implement automation, observability, and CI/CD integration for CDC pipelines, including logging, monitoring (e.g., Splunk), and standardized deployment patterns using Terraform or similar tools.
• Develop and maintain runbooks, standards, and patterns to scale GoldenGate adoption and reduce reliance on vendor support.

• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work across multiple technical teams.
• Excellent documentation habits and operational discipline.

Nice-to-Have Skills (Differentiators)

• Experience integrating GoldenGate with Kafka or other streaming platforms; exposure to event-driven or data mesh architectures.
• Familiarity with enterprise security integrations (e.g., Entra ID / OAuth, RBAC ).
• Experience with Python or Java for scripting or pipeline tooling.
• Exposure to enterprise integration tools supporting ETL, CDC, and ESB patterns.

Who Thrives Here

• Engineers who enjoy solving complex data movement challenges at enterprise scale.
• Professionals who value clarity, structure, and operational excellence.
• Builders who want to modernize data ecosystems and enable real-time analytics.
• Team players who collaborate deeply across platform, infrastructure, and security domains.
