• Ensure strict compliance with federal security and governance standards, including FedRAMP, CJIS, and related requirements, by implementing secure cloud landing zones, governance guardrails, and repeatable controls for mission‑critical environments.


• Deliver comprehensive technical documentation, actionable migration plans, and compelling business cases for long‑term modernization, resilience, and data‑driven decision‑making.


• Mentor and coach client teams as they navigate the cloud journey, ensuring value realization and ongoing technical excellence.


• Strategically position Oracle for long‑term growth within this marquee federal account—your impact will be visible and measurable.


• Travel up to 30% as needed.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• U.S. Citizenship (required for federal engagement).


• 3+ years of deep, hands‑on experience in Cloud Engineering, Architecture, or Delivery, with a strong focus on cloud data platforms and large‑scale application/database migrations. Must be experienced with Exadata.


• Expertise in Oracle Cloud (OCI) or another major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP); background with Oracle bare metal and Engineered Systems a significant plus.


• Demonstrated success in leading cloud modernization initiatives for federal or regulated clients, with a background in designing, migrating, and optimizing secure, complex architectures.


• Strong knowledge of cloud security concepts, identity management, and access control; clear understanding of federal compliance requirements.


• Outstanding ability to communicate, influence at the executive level, and deliver compelling technical and strategic guidance.


• Proficiency crafting architecture documentation, migration plans, proposals, and solution estimates.


• Relevant cloud certifications (OCI, AWS, Azure, or GCP) are a major advantage.
