Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

The Role

We are looking for a Cloud Engineer who specializes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to serve as a technical anchor for our enterprise cloud initiatives. You won't just be managing servers; you will be architecting the resilient, high-performance foundations that power our clients' most critical digital products. You will apply a builder’s mindset to automate infrastructure, optimize distributed systems, and lead the technical direction of OCI deployments.

What You'll Do

• OCI Architecture: Architect, design, and implement scalable microservices using Spring Boot and Java specifically optimized for the OCI environment.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Apply IaC practices (Terraform, OCI Resource Manager) to automate infrastructure provisioning, management, and scaling.

• Container Orchestration: Deploy and manage microservices using Docker and OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE).

• Event-Driven Systems: Build and manage event-driven architectures, leveraging OCI Streaming or Apache Kafka.

• Performance & Availability: Design and maintain high-performance, low-latency, and high-availability systems with a focus on OCI’s unique regional and AD (Availability Domain) structures.

• DevOps Integration: Collaborate with teams to implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Gradle/Maven, BitBucket, and Ansible.

• Security & Observability: Implement proactive monitoring using OCI Monitoring/Logging or tools like Splunk and Dynatrace. Ensure data encryption (PKI, TLS, HTTPS) at rest and in transit.

What We're Looking For

• OCI Certification: Mandatory current Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Certification.

• Engineering Rigor: Extensive experience in public cloud environments, with a deep mastery of OCI services (Compute, Storage, Networking, Identity).

• Backend Mastery: Proficiency in Java (Spring Boot) and experience with Python and shell scripting for automation.

• Distributed Systems: Strong background in microservices architecture, RESTful API development, and messaging frameworks like Apache Kafka.

• Data Expertise: Hands-on experience with both SQL and NoSQL database technologies (e.g., OCI Autonomous Database).

• Judgment & Communication: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to explain complex architectural tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Points For

• Experience in the media or financial services industry, particularly with high-security or regulatory requirements.

• Experience migrating enterprise workloads from on-prem or other cloud providers (GCP/AWS) to OCI.
