Testimonials
Trusted by teams that hire with us
-
LATAM has been a gold mine for talent. Our CloudTask hires understand our company culture and mission, and they connect with our customers in a way that drives high NPS and CX scores.
David Barrett CEO, Expensify -
At first we were an SF-based team only. Then I met Amir Reiter back in 2018. After visiting Medellín, I knew LATAM would be key to our growth and success.
Tim Zheng CEO, Apollo.io -
After meeting my CX and CS team in Medellín, we immediately loved the culture and the work ethic. As a European-HQ company, we found LATAM to be perfect to service our American clients.

SKILLS
Top skills to look for in an Oracle developer
Knowing SQL is the entry ticket. These are the skills that decide whether changes to an Oracle system stay safe, fast and easy to follow.
-
Clean PL/SQL
Organizes logic in packages with clear interfaces, proper exception handling and no business rules hidden in triggers.
-
Tuning with evidence
Reads execution plans and tuning reports to find the real bottleneck, and measures before and after every change.
-
Set-based processing
Uses SQL and bulk operations instead of row-by-row loops, so batch jobs finish in their window.
-
Partitioning and indexing
Knows when partitioning helps large tables and which index a query pattern actually needs.
-
Careful with production
Tests changes on realistic data, runs them with a rollback plan and respects the audit trail the business depends on.
-
Integration awareness
Understands how applications, reports and interfaces use the database, so a change in one place does not break three others.
-
Documented changes
Keeps scripts under version control and writes down why a package works the way it does.
-
AI output, reviewed
Uses assistants to draft queries and code, and reviews every line before it runs against records the business is audited on.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire Oracle developers
Oracle systems often hold the records a business is audited on, so every change carries real risk. This guide covers what an Oracle developer does, how to scope the role, what to test, the red flags and when a dedicated Oracle developer is the wrong hire.
What does an Oracle developer do?
Builds and maintains the code that lives in and around Oracle Database: PL/SQL packages, procedures, triggers, views, schemas and the batch jobs that move and process data.
Day to day that means changing business logic safely, tuning slow queries and jobs, supporting the applications and reports on top and investigating data issues.
Which Oracle do you need?
Oracle is a family of products. This page covers Oracle Database development with SQL and PL/SQL, including tools such as APEX.
If the work is on Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Cloud ERP or NetSuite, say so in the brief. Those roles need product-specific experience, and the search follows it.
Oracle developer or database administrator?
Hire an Oracle developer when the hard part is the code and the data: packages, queries, batch jobs and changes to business logic. Hire a database administrator when the hard part is running the database: backups, upgrades, patching, replication and access.
Some people do both. Write down which half matters more before you brief anyone.
Legacy code and safe change
Many Oracle systems carry years of PL/SQL written by people who have left. The first job is often understanding what the code does before changing it.
Ask how the candidate approaches an unfamiliar package: how they trace dependencies, test on realistic data and plan a rollback.
What to test in an Oracle developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: a PL/SQL procedure that processes a batch of records, logs errors and can be rerun. Read how they handle exceptions and whether they process rows in sets or one at a time.
Then show a slow query and its execution plan and ask what they would change first. A strong answer names what the plan shows and explains the trade-off.
Red flags in Oracle developer candidates
Swallowed exceptions. A WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL in their code hides failures that will surface later as missing or wrong data.
Row by row everywhere. Loops that do one insert or update per row for work a single SQL statement could do will not fit your batch window.
Logic hidden in triggers. Business rules scattered across triggers make the system hard to understand and harder to change.
Hints instead of understanding. Adding optimizer hints to every slow query without reading the plan fixes today and breaks after the next upgrade.
Changes without a rollback. A candidate who runs scripts in production with no tested way back is a risk to records the business is audited on.
When should you not hire a dedicated Oracle developer?
When the database is stable, rarely changes and a part-time support arrangement covers the occasional fix. A full-time developer will not have enough to do.
It is also the wrong hire when the real project is a migration off Oracle. Hire for the target platform and the migration plan, and make sure someone reads the old code.
How much does it cost to hire an Oracle developer?
It depends on seniority, the scope of the work and the country the person works from, and any single number describes one scenario and calls it a price.
What is worth understanding is the shape. On Managed Staffing it is one all-in monthly rate per person, with payments, compliance and replacement cover inside it. On Direct Hire it is a one-time fee of 20% to 30% of first-year base salary and the person goes on your payroll. We quote your number before you interview anyone.
Why hire an Oracle developer in Latin America?
Overlap. Development runs on code review, standups and incidents, and Latin America and the Caribbean share most of the US working day, so those happen in real time instead of overnight.
The second reason is communication. Your developer writes pull request descriptions, technical notes and status updates in English, and we screen English live on a call.
How does CloudTask hire for this role?
You send the Oracle Database version you run, the applications on top of it, whether ERP or NetSuite is involved, the kind of work and the hours you need covered. We source against that brief and come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours, each one screened on a live call and checked against the stack you named.
You interview and choose. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay involved with check-ins. On Direct Hire the person joins your payroll from day one. Both carry a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.
