Job Title: Oracle Cloud Architect
Location: Rockville, MD - Hybrid
Job Type: Contract (Part-time) 24–32 hours, 16 Hours Onsite Required
Client: Direct Client
Degree Certificates are mandatory to submit.
Scope of Work:
Looking for someone who will design and implement OCI IAM and Microsoft Entra based SSO solutions for both cloud and on-premises Oracle applications. The candidate should be an expert in Identity and Access Management (IAM), Single Sign-On (SSO), and secure DMZ architectures. The candidate will also document the end-to-end security architecture and DMZ access patterns to ensure robust, scalable, and secure user access for internal and external stakeholders.
- Design, configure, and deploy OCI IAM Identity Providers and federations and integrate with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to establish SAML/OIDC-based SSO for:
o Oracle E-Business Suite
o PeopleSoft
o Oracle Analytics Server 2024
- Implement bidirectional federation: Allow Entra users to authenticate into OCI-protected apps and allow OCI identities to access Entra-protected resources.
- Integrate on-premises Oracle applications with OCI IAM and Entra via OCI IDCS, Azure AD Application Proxy, or custom federation proxies as needed.
- Integrate on-premises Oracle applications with OCI IAM, using OCI IDCS or custom federation proxies as needed.
- Deploy and configure secure reverse-proxy or WAF layers (OCI Web Application Firewall, Application Gateway, Azure AD Application Proxy, Oracle Access Manager) for external SSO endpoints.
- Document the OCI IAM security architecture, including trust models, identity lifecycles, user-attribute mapping, and certificate management.
- Define and implement a hardened DMZ architecture to broker access between external users, internal users, and on-premises Oracle services.
- Configure OCI Networking (VCNs, Subnets, Security Lists, Network Security Groups, Transit Gateways) to enforce least-privilege access.
- Develop runbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and security baselines for IAM administration, patching, and certificate rotation.
- Conduct security reviews, threat modeling, and periodic penetration testing in collaboration with the Security Operations team.
- Work closely with application teams, network engineers, and security auditors to align on access requirements and compliance standards.
- Provide training sessions and hand-off documentation for operations and support teams.
Requirements:
Experience
- Minimum of 15 years of experience in the Oracle stack, with at least 8 years in enterprise IAM.
- Proven track record implementing SAML 2.0 / OIDC SSO integrations with on-premises Oracle stacks (EBS, PeopleSoft, OAS).
- Hands-on experience in designing and operating secure DMZ/network architectures for hybrid cloud/on-prem environments.
