The role of an Oracle developer has become increasingly important as more and more organisations turn to the Oracle database system to manage massive and complex sets of digital information. Since the system has its own programming language, those in this position primarily work with businesses involved in finance, healthcare, insurance, retail or even in public sector services
The primary duty for these experts in Oracle’s database management software is to design database systems, implement them, monitor them and provide support for users
Most employers will require developers to have at least two years of experience with Oracle databases in addition to a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related major. Knowledge of SQL and PL in addition to strong analytical and communication skills is also essential
The average salary figure for an Oracle developer in the United Kingdom is £42,000 per annum, though by excluding London the figure drops by about 10%. Some posts may pay less than £30,000 per year whilst individuals with desirable qualifications and experience can earn in the neighbourhood of £65,000.
