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
