Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to architect, deploy, and operate large-scale, secure, and resilient cloud environments on Oracle's next-generation public cloud. In this role you will own the full OCI engineering lifecycle, from landing-zone design and infrastructure-as-code, through workload migration and ongoing operations, including cost optimization and observability. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical knowledge of OCI services with strong DevOps and automation fundamentals, and will partner with database, application, and security teams to deliver well-engineered cloud platforms that support mission-critical Oracle and non-Oracle workloads.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, deploy, and operate enterprise-grade OCI landing zones, compartments, and tenancy structures aligned with internal governance and compliance standards.

• Design and implement OCI networking topologies, including VCNs, subnets, gateways, FastConnect, IPSec VPN, and DRG-based hub-and-spoke architectures.

• Build and maintain OCI infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and OCI Resource Manager, with version control, peer review, and automated validation.

• Implement IAM policies, federation with corporate identity providers, and strong RBAC patterns using OCI Identity Domains.

• Design and operate OCI compute (VMs, bare-metal, OKE for Kubernetes) and storage services (Object, Block, File, Archive) optimized for workload patterns.

• Operate OCI database services, including Autonomous Database, Exadata Cloud, MySQL HeatWave, and Base Database, in close partnership with DBA teams.

• Build CI/CD pipelines on OCI DevOps service or external platforms (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) for both infrastructure and applications.

• Implement observability using OCI Monitoring, Logging, APM, and integrations with third-party observability stacks.

• Drive ongoing cost optimization through right-sizing, lifecycle management, and architectural simplification.

• Design disaster-recovery and business-continuity solutions across OCI regions and availability domains.

• Strengthen security posture using OCI Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vault, and Data Safe, and lead remediation of findings.

• Advise application development teams on OCI-native design patterns and best practices.

• Develop automation tooling in Python, Bash, and Terraform to reduce operational toil.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal cloud communities of practice.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Five or more years of cloud engineering experience, with strong hands-on time on OCI.

• Production-level experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform.

• Solid experience with OCI compute, networking, storage, identity, and database services.

• Hands-on experience with Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for cloud workloads.

• Strong scripting skills in Python and Bash.

• Deep understanding of cloud security, IAM, and compliance requirements.

• Experience with observability tooling and incident response.

• Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.
