Job#: 3036584

Job Description:
Oracle Cloud (OCI) Solutions Architect

Location: Chicago, Illinois (Hybrid)

Duration: 12 month contract w/extension

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Oracle Cloud (OCI) Solutions Architect to partner with a system integrator and take ownership of an Oracle cloud ecosystem. This role will play a part in designing, validating, and owning an OCI environment supporting Oracle Fusion applications (HCM, EPM, ERP) and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). This position has the potential to convert to a full-time role as internal ownership of the platform is established.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with an implementation partner to review and validate OCI architecture and design decisions.
• Take hands-on responsibility for OCI environment configuration, including compute, networking, IAM, and connectivity.
• Co-lead architecture and implementation of integrations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for HR and local payroll needs.
• Establish standards and best practices across OCI and Oracle Fusion (HCM, EPM, FAH, FDI).
• Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and operationally sustainable.
• Drive the transition from implementation to internal ownership, including documentation and knowledge transfer.
• Identify risks, gaps, and optimization opportunities in the current architecture.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for OCI and Oracle integrations.

Required Qualifications

Education: An OCI Architect certification (Associate or Professional) is required. A BA or BS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is also required.

Experience: 8+ years of experience in cloud architecture or engineering, with hands-on OCI experience is required. Proven experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute, networking, IAM, compartments, Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), and Oracle Fusion applications (HCM and/or EPM) is necessary. Experience working alongside large system integrators is also required.

Technical Skills: The ability to operate as both an architect and a hands-on builder is required. Experience supporting or building integrations for HR/payroll systems is necessary. A strong understanding of cloud security, identity, and networking concepts is also required, along with the ability to troubleshoot technical problems and issues. Experience solving problems in an ambiguous and changing environment is needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Oracle Cloud applications and tools.
• Experience transitioning environments from implementation to steady-state operations.
