Job Description

Location: United Kingdom(Remote/Hybrid)

Position Type: Full-time

Experience Level: 5+ years

Clearance Required:SC Cleared

Requirements

What You Will Actually Do

• Provision, refresh and decommission environments across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS as the service needs them
  
• Run production-to-test cloning and the post-clone work that follows, including data masking, so test environments are safe as well as useful
  
• Plan the environment estate around the quarterly Oracle release cycle and publish that plan so nobody is surprised
  
• Maintain existing Terraform and write new Terraform, so infrastructure gets built the same way every time
  
• Own backup and restore: full, incremental and snapshot, tested back to a consistent known-good state, not just assumed to work
  
• Own disaster recovery for the platform layers: replication to the recovery site, a recovery plan that is current, and at least one proper test of it a year
  
• Run the vulnerability management cycle with our scanning tooling, and remediate to fixed timescales, with critical fixes measured in days not months
  
• Apply monthly vendor patches and firmware updates across the estate
  
• Automate start-up, shutdown and routine operations, and keep an eye on capacity so problems are raised before users notice them
  
• Help redesign the environment estate to support a better development lifecycle at a lower cost
  
• Share the privileged administration custodian duty: fulfil the small number of access requests that only top-level administration can action, and put bulk access changes through the formal change process rather than on the side
  
• Operate the break-glass process that governs any vendor back-end access: named individuals, stated purpose, fixed time window, nothing open-ended
  
• Keep the access records straight: an accurate environments tracker, evidence for the monthly access audit, and maintained standard operating procedures for system administration
  

What You Will Bring

• Strong hands-on OCI experience: compute, storage, networking, IAM and compartment design, including firewall and routing configuration
  
• Terraform in production use, not just a lab
  
• Linux administration and comfortable scripting
  
• Real backup, restore and disaster recovery experience, including having actually run a recovery test
  
• Experience running vulnerability scanning and remediation cycles in a managed environment
  
• Familiarity with bastion or jump host access patterns and privileged access management tooling, because the custodian duty runs through them
  
• SC clearance
  

Useful but Not Essential

• Oracle database familiarity (ATP, ADW or DBCS)
  
• Exposure to Tenable and Splunk
  
• Data masking or test data management
  
• Experience supporting an Oracle SaaS or ERP estate from the platform side
  
• Government or other high-assurance environments
