Job Description

SummaryWe are looking for talented candidates to work on the core functionality of our new, state-of-the-art distributed in-memory database system - TimesTen Scaleout. You can expect to participate in designing and implementing important features for TimesTen Scaleout.Team and Product DescriptionIn-memory storage is an increasingly important paradigm for database management systems, as memory continues to become more and more inexpensive and plentiful. Oracle TimesTen is the industry-leading in-memory database management system. It is intended for applications requiring instant response time, high throughput, high scalability, and high availability. Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database supports all the functionality of a traditional database. However, TimesTen changes the assumptions of traditional disk-based databases by keeping all data in memory at all times. This architecture results in simplified design, which in turn results in much higher performance than is possible for a traditional database system.We are working on the next generation of TimesTen. The new architecture is called TimesTen Scaleout. TimesTen Scaleout is a shared-nothing scale-out in-memory database designed for extreme OLTP workloads, such as IoT, real-time fraud detection, telecommunications, etc. This new architecture allows the database to scale across dozensof hosts, reach hundreds of terabytes in size and support hundreds of millions of transactions per second. TimesTen Scaleout is a fairly new product with a variety of challenging projects on-going.
