Though Bucharest-based, Alex’s team only has two members (himself included) that call the Romanian capital city their native home. Relocated colleagues from Hungary, Greece and even Mongolia allow him the unique opportunity to travel the world without ever leaving the office. Creating a multi-cultural environment lies at the center of Oracle’s ethos and now our Solution Engineering team are looking for new additions to their world map.

A diverse approach to a unified goal

Working closely with customers and partners, the global Solution Engineering team help people overcome technical challenges. Alex says, “Oracle offers a huge portfolio of technology and cloud services, so it’s like solving a new puzzle every day. We’re lucky enough to have all the pieces, you just need to put them in the right order. You act as an architect, developer engineer, or product specialist depending on the project, so there is always something new to learn.”

Inspired by a common goal, the unique strengths of this team lie in the diversity of minds merging to solve a problem. Bringing together different backgrounds and technical skills, Alex shares how he finds himself “teaming up with brilliant engineers towards a common goal: driving success through Oracle technology.”

Opportunities for growth

“If you had asked me as a kid what I wanted to become when I grew up, I probably wouldn’t have said a solution engineer. Now, I wouldn’t change a thing! Why? There’s something very rewarding in working with people and helping them to succeed.” Since joining the company three years ago, Alex has continued to grow both within himself and as a professional. Constantly being faced with new challenges and opportunities to work with expanding global teams, has allowed him to learn at a pace he never thought possible.

Oracle champions the advancement and success of employees by encouraging them to break free of comfort zones and leaning on each other to share knowledge. Alex reflects on his favorite aspect of his job, “if I have to nominate a single aspect which makes my work so enjoyable, this would be it: with each interaction, each customer you meet, each project you discuss, or presentation you deliver, you grow. Oracle is pushing each of us to improve ourselves, to explore what we enjoy and develop in that direction. There is no limit to how impactful you can be, it’s up to you!”

Culture of community

Our teams drive each other by operating a collaborative approach based on community. Despite sometimes being halfway across the world from each other, there’ll always be someone on call to lend a hand when needed. Alex explains that whilst being a self-service company, you are never left without the option of help, “when you’re facing a problem, there will be always someone there to assist you. Oracle encourages everyone to speak up, propose new ideas and share their feedback. We’re working seamlessly across different organizations because, in the end, we share the same goal: deliver an excellent customer experience.”

Our perfect match

The team have told you what they’re all about, so now it’s your turn!

Yes, as a solution engineer technical acumen is important but overall, your attitude will make all the difference. Alex believes solution engineering is a team sport and is on the lookout for someone eager to “learn, grown and improve.”

His final words on what he’s searching for in a teammate are:

  • “It’s important where you are today, as this will be the foundation from which we are starting, but I will try to see beyond this and understand how prepared you will be for this job in the next six months to a year.”
  • “Inside Oracle, you will find all the resources and guidance you need. Pair these with the right attitude and dedication and you will exceed expectations in no time. You will join Oracle as a solution engineer but you will stay for all the other opportunities that will arise.”
  • “If you are curious and passionate, looking to work with the latest tools and technologies and interested in solving real problems, join our team and start making a difference!”
