ResponsibilitiesORACLE: As the provider of the world’s most complete, open and integrated business software and hardware systems, Oracle is dedicated to unleashing innovation by simplifying IT. With more than 30 years of information technology innovation, Oracle is the recognized industry leader in enterprise application and technology solutions.
ORACLE CLOUD: Oracle Cloud is a Generation 2 enterprise cloud that delivers powerful compute and networking performance, a comprehensive portfolio of infrastructure and platform cloud services, and the world’s only self-driving autonomous database. Built from the ground up to meet the needs of mission-critical applications, Oracle Cloud supports all legacy workloads while delivering modern cloud development tools—so enterprises can bring their past and build their future.
The comprehensive nature of Oracle Cloud is a key selection consideration for customers. Oracle has the broadest cloud portfolio in the industry, delivering a complete range of production-level, cross-functional business applications for each part of an organization with information and data shared seamlessly across Oracle Cloud Applications and other systems. Business users have the latest innovations at their fingertips across sales and marketing, customer service, finance and accounting, supply chain management, human capital, and talent management—all enriched with social engagement and collaboration tools and an intuitive user interface that works on any mobile device. These applications have been architected on a modern and open cloud platform and infrastructure to simplify integration needs and lower an organization’s total cost of ownership.
With such extensive functionality across business processes, customers can solve their business problems with complete solutions that give them end-to-end execution and complete visibility.
Oracle IaaS is clearly differentiated, being far more performant, more secure, more reliable and cost efficient as compared to others in the market. Oracle has fundamentally innovated in the IaaS space and continues to gain market share aggressively. Oracle PaaS is anchored by Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), which offers the most innovative “self-driving” capabilities in the data tier in the marketplace. Combine with ADB, Oracle cloud also offers a complete application development platform that includes app dev, security, integration, identity management, analytics, big data and AI/ML amongst other far broader capabilities.
We are seeking a deeply technical individual to join our team where they will both lead and contribute to customer focused projects that involve migrating existing workloads to Oracle Cloud and building completely new architectures to support net new workloads in Oracle’s cloud. Project technology stacks we work with include existing legacy / On Premises networking, Oracle’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) service, and other competitive technology. While much of the focus of this role will revolve around related cloud security technologies a large portion of the work will also involve securing and configuring tenancies, networking, access control lists, Web Application Firewalls, load balancers, and general networking knowledge such as telecom or router switch knowledge. In addition to interacting directly with customers the role involves regular work with the development organization to drive product improvements and innovations.
The position requires experience leading business requirements gathering, translating those into system requirements, and facilitating business process design.
