chunked data models, scheduled bursting, and incremental extracts are standard practice.•    OTBI vs. BIP selection judgment: cross-subject-area limitations of OTBI and when a requirement belongs in BIP, OTBI, or downstream analytics (BICC extracts to OAC/FDI).•    Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio) as Oracle's current vehicle for Fusion extensions: App UIs, express vs. advanced mode, Git-based workspaces and pipeline deployment, and how it differs from standalone VBCS instances.•    Redwood extensibility patterns: extending Redwood pages in an upgrade-safe way through VB Studio, and knowing when legacy Page Composer personalization still applies to classic pages.•    Secure Fusion REST consumption: OAuth2/JWT via Oracle identity domains, least-privilege integration users, and handling pagination and API limits on Financials endpoints.•    Security posture of custom reporting and extensions: BIP data model SQL can bypass page-level security, so data-role alignment and audit sensitivity are expected design considerations.•    Controlled change for Finance-critical outputs: template versioning, bank/statutory format testing where eText is used, safe promotion of catalog objects and extension deployments, and quarterly-update regression checklists.Preferred•    Experience with OAC or Fusion Data Intelligence (FDI) for Finance analytics.•    Exposure to Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) / Smart View.•    Oracle Cloud certifications (Fusion Financials, Analytics/Reporting, VBCS, OIC).When applying, your CV must explicitly cover•    List the report types you have personally built (RTF, Excel, eText, bursting configurations) and the Financials areas they covered.•    List the VBCS / VB Studio applications or page extensions you personally built, stating which were standalone apps and which were embedded Fusion page extensions.•    State the size of the offshore team you led or reviewed, and on which engagement.•    State your notice period explicitly.•    Evidence each module or skill you claim with a named project or engagement;
