Lead Oracle DBA, Misrod, Bhopal
A company in Misrod, Bhopal is hiring a Lead Oracle DBA for a full-time, on-site role paying up to ₹149,000 a month. This one sits at the senior end of database administration, and the requirements reflect that.
Baseline requirements
Candidates need at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a comparable field. On top of that, the company is asking for eight years of practical experience running production database systems, not lab environments or coursework projects. Someone earlier in their career, even a strong mid-level DBA, would be underqualified for the scope of this position.
Beyond the years on paper, the company wants proven command of database design, query optimization, and backup and recovery procedures. These aren't nice extras for a lead-level opening; they're the parts of the job that get tested hardest when something breaks at 2 a.m.
What you'll own
- Design and maintain the structure of production database systems
- Optimize slow or poorly written queries for performance at scale
- Manage backup schedules, recovery procedures, and data security controls
- Monitor systems continuously for reliability issues before they become outages
Because this is a lead role, expect to also be the person junior DBAs come to when a query plan doesn't make sense or a restore fails halfway through.
Technical skills
The role centers on Oracle Database and PL/SQL, with backup and recovery and performance tuning as day-to-day responsibilities rather than occasional tasks. A candidate weak in any one of those four areas will struggle to keep up once the honeymoon period ends.
Skills that help but aren't mandatory
A few things aren't listed as requirements but would work in a candidate's favor:
- Experience with Oracle RAC or Data Guard in a high-availability setup
- Exposure to cloud-hosted Oracle environments, such as OCI or RDS for Oracle
- Familiarity with scripting for routine maintenance and monitoring tasks
Team and work setting
This is an on-site position in Misrod, not a remote or hybrid arrangement, so day-to-day work happens alongside the rest of the infrastructure team rather than over Slack. Naukri Mitra's listing notes that the employer expects the lead DBA to work closely with application teams during release windows, since schema changes and query performance tend to surface problems right when a new build goes out.
Compensation and benefits
Pay for this role goes up to ₹149,000 per month. Along with salary, the package includes:
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Performance-linked bonuses tied to system uptime and delivery targets
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Bhopal
- Accommodation support during the transition period
The relocation and accommodation support matter more here than they might for a junior role, since the pool of experienced Oracle DBAs willing to relocate for an on-site position is smaller than the market average, and the company appears to be pricing that in.
Location
The job is based in Misrod, a locality within Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Someone already searching Oracle DBA jobs in Misrod, Bhopal will find this one matches on location as well as seniority. For anyone comparing Oracle DBA salaries in Bhopal per month across postings, the ₹149,000 figure is toward the higher end for lead-level Oracle work in the city, which aligns with the eight-year experience floor.
Applying
Candidates should apply with a resume that clearly shows production Oracle DBA experience, ideally with specifics on database size, uptime responsibilities, and any incidents handled directly. Given the lead scope of this role, expect the interview process to include a technical round focused on query optimization and recovery scenarios, followed by a conversation about how the candidate has mentored or guided junior DBAs in past roles. Applications without at least eight years of hands-on production experience are unlikely to move forward, so candidates should confirm that threshold before applying.
