You are supposed to become a developer and learn about the architecture, how to code, how to tune, how to debug, etc.

Your question is analogous to the following:

Every job listing for Chief of Thoracic Surgery is asking for 3 to 5 years of experience performing surgery. How are you supposed to get into the business? Or
Every job listing for Supreme Court Justice is asking for previous experience as an attorney and judge. How are you supposed to get into the business?

In short ... do your apprenticeship. Pay your dues. There are a lot of good Oracle developers who are far more qualified than you and they get first shot at every opportunity which is as it should be.
