Oracle OCI Engineer

Concept Plus is a mission-focused technology solutions provider that transforms IT concepts into impactful solutions for federal agencies. They are seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Engineer to support the transition of a mission-critical Oracle E-Business Suite environment to Oracle Cloud Exadata Infrastructure, focusing on architecting, deploying, and optimizing OCI resources while ensuring compliance with government requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end migration of a mission-critical EBS environment from on-premises to OCI, including planning, architecture, deployment, data migration, and cutover support
• Assess current on-prem environments and design target OCI architectures that align with performance, availability, security, and government compliance requirements
• Architect and configure OCI components required for EBS: Compute, Block Storage, Object Storage, VCN, Load Balancing, File Storage, Database services, and identity/security services
• Coordinate with DBA, application, and network teams to ensure successful migration of application tiers, database tiers, and custom EBS integrations
• Design, build, and validate a cross-region DR architecture for EBS using OCI services such as block volume replication, database Data Guard, object storage replication, and load balancer failover strategies
• Implement automated replication, failover, and recovery procedures for both the EBS application tier and database tier
• Develop COOP/DR runbooks, testing plans, and failover/failback procedures tailored to mission-critical government workloads
• Lead periodic DR tests and ATO-aligned validation exercises to ensure readiness for region-wide outages
• Ensure all EBS migration and DR activities adhere to federal standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 security controls
• Configure IAM policies, compartments, network security groups, WAF, encryption (KMS), and audit logging to meet government governance requirements
• Support security assessments, SSP updates, ATO processes, and POA&M resolution activities for cloud-hosted EBS systems
• Monitor OCI infrastructure supporting EBS workloads for performance, cost, and reliability; implement tuning and scaling strategies as needed
• Develop and implement patching strategies for EBS components hosted in OCI, including coordination across environments (DEV/TEST/STAGE/PROD)
• Troubleshoot EBS-related cloud issues including performance bottlenecks, networking, replication issues, or cross-region failover behavior
• Create and maintain Terraform or OCI Resource Manager IaC templates for provisioning EBS-related OCI infrastructure
• Automate environment builds, DR replication processes, and deployment pipelines to support EBS lifecycle operations
• Integrate compliance, configuration, and security automation into cloud operations wherever possible
• Work closely with program managers, DBAs, application SMEs, security teams, and network engineers to ensure the migration and DR solutions meet mission-critical requirements
• Prepare architecture diagrams, migration plans, DR test results, and documentation required for government technical review boards and audits
• Provide engineering expertise and technical leadership throughout the migration lifecycle and ongoing multi-region operations

Requirements:

• US Citizen with an active Secret Clearance
• 3–7+ years of experience in cloud engineering with at least 2 years focused on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
• Experience working in government IT environments or highly regulated sectors
• Strong understanding of NIST security controls, zero-trust principles, and cloud governance
• Proficiency with Terraform and scripting languages (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
• Experience with cloud networking concepts including VCNs, DRGs, VPN, FastConnect, and firewalls
• Experience with implementation of Oracle Exadata computing system
• Familiarity with Oracle databases and government-hosted Oracle workloads (e.g., Exadata Cloud Service)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Ability to collaborate within cross-functional and global teams
• Ability to prioritize and multitask in high-pressure environments
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Associate or Professional certification preferred
• Experience supporting FedRAMP High or DoD IL4/IL5 cloud environments preferred
• Experience with container technologies (Kubernetes, OKE, Docker) in secure environments preferred
• Knowledge of government logging, monitoring, and SIEM tools (Splunk, Elastic, Oracle Logging/Monitoring) preferred
