NORCAL Departure advised us of traffic at 12 o'clock maintaining 3500 ft. We were on the CNDEL 3 RNAV departure. We crossed LEJAY below 2000 ft as instructed on the SID. Just after passing CNDEL waypoint we had the traffic advisory; we had the traffic in sight; and just before turning to the next waypoint PORTE; we had the resolution advisory 'climb; increase climb'. NORCAL instructed immediately to turn to a heading of 180. After that the system said 'clear of conflict'.
[A C182] was circling over downtown San Francisco VFR at 4;500 ft. An A320 departed OAK on the CNDEL departure. I issued traffic to [the C182] and he called the A320 in sight with five miles in between them. [The A320] also called [the C182] in sight. I instructed [the C182] to maintain visual separation from [the A320] and that I was going to have the A320 fly straight out until he got above him. [The C182] said he would maintain visual and then flew right into the A320's flight path. I let [the A320] start his SW bound turn on the CNDEL instead of flying straight ahead in order to get away from [the C182]. I then turned [the A320] even more to a 180 heading. [The A320] received a TCAS RA.
A320 Captain and the NCT Controller reported on an airborne conflict that occurred when the A320 departed OAK and a C182 flew into his departure path.
