Job Title: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Administrator
Experience: 5 10 years
Support Time: PST Timezone
Weekend / On call Support: only for the business-critical issues
Role Overview
Client is looking for experienced OCI Administrator to manage, secure, and optimize our Oracle Cloud Infrastructure footprint.
The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience across OCI networking, IAM, ATP/DBaaS administration, RMAN backups, OIC agents, automation, and DR/HA.
The role includes coordinating with client stakeholders, resolving production issues, and enabling secure integrations with on-prem systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Core OCI Administration
- Own day-to-day OCI operations: tenancy hygiene, compartments, tagging standards, quotas, and cost governance.
- Administer IAM (users, groups, dynamic groups, policies), federation, and fine-grained access control; troubleshoot authorization issues.
- Manage networking: VCNs, subnets (public/private), NAT/IGW/SL/DRG, routing, security lists, NSGs, and DMZ orchestration for zero-trust patterns.
- Oversee ATP/Autonomous DB & DBaaS: patching, scaling, vulnerability management, connection wallet lifecycle, and performance basics.
- Implement and maintain RMAN and OCI-native backups: policies, schedules, retention, validation, and recovery runbooks.
- Configure and manage Monitoring, Alarms, Notifications (ONS); build operational dashboards and reports (usage, security, cost, availability).
- Plan and execute DR & HA strategies: multi-AD/region design, backup/restore tests, cross-region replication, and Data Guard (switchover vs. failover).
- Automate storage lifecycle (block/object/file): provisioning, snapshots, archival tiering, lifecycle policies; write scripts for repeatable ops (OCI CLI/Terraform/Ansible).
- Support database migration from on Prem to OCI: choosing appropriate methods (RMAN, Data Pump, GoldenGate, backup/restore, cross-platform considerations).
- Enable data transfer & integration: FastConnect/VPN, Data Transfer Service, object storage pre-auth tokens, audit/logging, and alerting.
Security & Compliance
- Enforce security baselines: IAM least privilege, KMS/OKV usage, vault secrets, SSL/TLS management, vulnerability remediation, audit review.
- Generate operational reports: posture, backup status, DR readiness, patch cadence, SLA/uptime metrics.
Non-OCI Responsibilities
- EBS Workflows: Set up/renew workflow components, manage keys, and basic issue triage in coordination with EBS teams.
- SSL Certificates: Configure and import SSL certificates (load balancers, API gateways, reverse proxies, OIC agents, database wallets).
