OCI Platform Engineering, Administration

Role Overview

• Lead design and implementation of OCI architectures including landing zones, compartment strategy, and governance guardrails.
• Own OCI IAM design and operations: policy authoring, dynamic groups, access reviews, and audit-ready evidence.
• Design and administer enterprise OCI networking and connectivity: DRG, DRG route tables, route distributions, IPSec VPN/FastConnect, DNS strategy, load balancers, and security controls (NSGs/security lists).
• Define and enforce tagging, naming, and cost management practices across environments.
• Own operational administration for Oracle PaaS services as applicable (e.g., Autonomous Database, Oracle Integration Cloud, API Gateway, Functions, Streaming, Vault/KMS, Logging, Monitoring/Alarms) and their integrations.
• Establish monitoring and alerting, backup/restore strategy, certificate management, and upgrade/patch planning for PaaS services.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting across platform dependencies including identity, network paths, TLS/certificates, and service integrations; execute root-cause analysis (RCA) and implement preventive actions.
• Lead Fusion instance provisioning end-to-end: intake validation, provisioning orchestration, baseline configuration, access enablement, and post-provision readiness validation.
• Administer Fusion environments: user and role access governance, environment refresh coordination, release/patch impact planning, and integration enablement (OIC, SSO/IdP, allowlisting).
• Create and maintain standardized runbooks, checklists, and readiness gates for Fusion lifecycle operations and change validation.
• Build and maintain Terraform automation: reusable modules, remote state strategy, environment promotion (Dev/Test/Prod), code reviews, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
• Implement operational automation using scripting (Python/Bash) for provisioning, compliance checks, reporting, and routine admin tasks.
• Define change control standards including peer review, automated validation, and release governance.
• Lead small technical workstreams; plan execution, manage dependencies, and drive delivery outcomes.
• Mentor Associates; support onboarding, training, and operational maturity improvements.
• Drive operational excellence: service health reporting, dashboards, SLIs/SLOs, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

• Experience in cloud/platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure roles with strong OCI exposure.
• Strong hands-on experience in OCI: networking, IAM, connectivity (DRG/VPN/FastConnect), compute, storage, monitoring, and governance.
• Demonstrated experience administering Oracle PaaS services in enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated experience with Oracle Fusion instance provisioning and administration (environment lifecycle and operations).
• Strong Terraform expertise including module design, state management, troubleshooting, and CI/CD integration.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across networking, identity, and service integrations.
• OCI Architect Associate/Professional certification or equivalent experience.
• Experience with landing zone patterns, multi-environment governance, and guardrails.
• Exposure to OKE/Kubernetes and container networking.
• Workload migration from on-premises or from other cloud vendors to OCI.
• Experience with enterprise identity integrations (SSO/federation), secrets management, and compliance controls.
• Familiarity with ITSM, audit controls, and change management.
