Gent, East Flanders, Belgium

 

About the job

Sofico is evolving its platform capabilities to deliver scalable, reliable, and future-proof solutions for the Miles Enterprise suite. As part of this evolution, we are strengthening our data streaming platform team. 
As a Senior Oracle Database Performance Engineer, you will take a leading role in optimizing migration SQL and data transformation logic in the context of a data streaming platform. You will work closely with product teams, platform engineers, and architects to ensure database workloads are efficient, scalable, and aligned with domain boundaries and long-term product strategy. 
This role requires deep Oracle expertise with a product oriented mindset: you will help teams ship domain capabilities safely and fast, while keeping performance, maintainability, and operational excellence as a focus point. 

Your responsibilities 

  • Lead the analysis and optimization of complex migration SQL (bulk loads, delta processing, reconciliation) used in data streaming & initial load flows. 
  • Partner with product teams to translate domain and non-functional requirements into high-performance data access and transformation designs. 
  • Support domain-driven delivery by aligning database models and migration logic with Domain Driven Design concepts. 
  • Establish and maintain standards for SQL quality, review practices, and performance testing (benchmarks, regressions, workload simulation). 
  • Contribute to observability and operational readiness: instrumentation, performance dashboards, alert thresholds, and troubleshooting. 
  • Document decisions (ADRs) and coach teams on best practices. 

 

Your Profile

  • Significant hands-on experience with Oracle Database in production environments (performance tuning and troubleshooting at scale). 
  • Strong SQL expertise, including the ability to optimize complex queries and migration scripts with measurable outcomes. 
  • Proven experience with Oracle performance tooling and concepts. 
  • Solid understanding of data migration patterns and reliability concerns (idempotency, consistency, reconciliation, error handling, etc.). 
  • Clear communicator who can explain trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across teams. 

 

What we offer you

  • Competitive salary package
  • Company car with fuel card/ charging card
  • Meal vouchers
  • Group and hospitalization insurance
  • Possible yearly bonus (CAO90)
  • Additional benefits: bike leasing, flexible working hours, work from home up to 2 days per week

Join an international, multicultural company with more than 35 years of experience, which doubles in size every 5 years. We encourage a horizontal, open corporate culture where career development and personal growth are central. You benefit from a comprehensive 6-month onboarding, including a dedicated job coach, and receive ongoing learning opportunities.
