Job description

Concept Plus is seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Engineer to support the transition of a mission‑critical Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) environment from on‑premises infrastructure to Oracle Cloud Exadata Infrastructure. This role will focus on architecting, deploying, and optimizing OCI resources required for EBS, ensuring the solution meets stringent government security, availability, and performance requirements. A key responsibility will be designing and implementing cross‑region disaster recovery (DR) for EBS within OCI to ensure continuity of operations (COOP) and mission resilience.

What you’ll do

• E‑Business Suite Cloud Migration
• 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.
• Cross‑Region Disaster Recovery for E‑Business Suite
• 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.
• Cloud Architecture, Security & Compliance
• 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.
• Operational Support & Optimization
• 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.
• Automation & Infrastructure as Code
• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
