What success looks like in this role:

• Lead migration of application and database servers to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), planning cutover sequencing to minimize downtime and ensure data integrity.
• Design and implement OCI landing-zone architecture, including compute, storage, networking, and security (IAM, VCNs, security lists/NSGs), aligned to best practices.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, OCI DevOps) for automated build, test, and deployment of application workloads.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / OCI Resource Manager) for repeatable, version-controlled provisioning of environments.
• Partner with DBAs and application teams to plan and execute Oracle Database migration strategies (Data Pump, RMAN, GoldenGate, or equivalent) with minimal disruption.
• Containerize and orchestrate applicable workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/OKE) as part of the target-state architecture.
• Establish core DevOps practices: source control workflows (Git/GitHub), branching strategy, automated testing gates, and release/change management.
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting (OCI Monitoring/Logging, Grafana, or equivalent) to proactively detect and resolve issues.
• Apply and enforce security and compliance controls throughout the migration lifecycle, including IAM policies, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation.
• Troubleshoot and tune performance of migrated application and database servers post-cutover.
• Produce migration runbooks, architecture diagrams, and standard operating procedures for the target environment.
• Provide post-migration support, mentorship, and knowledge transfer to operations and support teams.
