Possible research topics include automated tuning and upgrades, patching security vulnerabilities, automated testing, WebAssembly in-database apps, co-optimizing JavaScript and SQL, and JIT compilation of regex. To apply, demonstrate at least three skills from the list: relational data design, OO programming, CS fundamentals, parallel/distributed computing, REST APIs, Linux, git, ML tools, and strong English. Emphasize relevant projects and your ability to contribute onsite in Zürich, and note accessibility accommodations at [email protected].

Intern with the Oracle AI DB team which runs the Oracle App Platform project, the MLE project and a number of other interesting projects.

Oracle App Platform

Cloud-native application platforms simplify deployment and operation of applications in the cloud. For developers, these platforms offer out-of-the-box integration with cloud services such as network management, logging and monitoring, and identity management. For operations, they offer built-in support for platform monitoring as well as some support for automated scaling and failover.

The App Platform project aims to develop an application platform built around Oracle's opinionated view of how cloud-native applications should be architected as well as the technology components used to build them. Besides providing seamless integration with various technologies and services, the App Platform will offer automated testing, scaling, tuning, and failure detection and recovery to help improve application security, reliability, and performance.

Possible Research Areas:

•     Automated Tuning and Upgrades
•     Patching security vulnerabilities in application dependencies
•     Automated Testing

Oracle Database Multilingual Engine

Stored procedures, user-defined functions and triggers - in general server-side procedural logic - complement SQL processing and are an important part of many database applications, in particular in enterprise environments. Multilingual Engine (MLE) is a feature of Oracle Database that enables the use of modern programming languages like JavaScript for server-side procedural logic. On the basis of GraalVM, MLE builds a platform for efficient, scalable program execution in Oracle Database that is tightly integrated with processing of relational and non-relational data.

The Multilingual Engine team at Oracle Labs works on further developing this platform to provide innovative features for database apps. Internships in the Multilingual Engine team offer the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art database and virtual machine technology, and have a direct impact on the world's premier database system.

Potential Topics:

•     WebAssembly for In-Database Applications
•     Co-Optimizing JavaScript and SQL Queries
•     Just-in-Time Compilation of Regular Expressions in Oracle Database
