You probably think that working for an online travel agency that manages hundreds of millions of bookings per year, or working for an airline company that operates hundreds of thousands of flights per year must bring their fair chair of challenge.

The DBaaS (Database-as-a-Service) department aims at providing Oracle database administration expertise and operational support to applications within Amadeus, in a follow-the-sun organisation.

  • Contribute with colleagues to the on-call roster.

  • Write and maintain database documentation, platform specifications and procedural descriptions.
