As an L7 Proxy Platform Engineer, you will design, implement, and maintain robust and scalable Layer 7 proxy platforms to enable secure and reliable application delivery across Oracle’s cloud and enterprise environments. You will be responsible for designing proxies to support high-scale microservices architectures, implementing advanced traffic management and security policies, and driving automation for operational efficiency. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Architect, deploy, and maintain L7 proxy platforms (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy, API Gateways) across cloud and on-premises environments. 
• Design and implement traffic routing, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, authentication, and authorization mechanisms at the application layer. 
• Collaborate with security, networking, and application teams to integrate L7 security controls (WAF, DDoS mitigation, rate limiting, etc.). 
• Automate the configuration, deployment, and monitoring of proxies using infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines. 
• Monitor proxy platform health, performance, and availability, responding to incidents and performance degradations promptly. 
• Evaluate new technologies and integrations to enhance platform resiliency, scalability, and security. 
• Develop and maintain documentation and runbooks for proxy platform operations and troubleshooting. 
• Provide L1/L2 support for production incidents, mentoring junior team members as needed. 
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude toward incident management. 
• Effective communication and documentation abilities. 
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams. 

Required Qualifications: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with L7 proxies (NGINX, Envoy, HAProxy, etc.) in large-scale production environments. 
• Strong understanding of network protocols (HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP), application layer security, and service-to-service communication patterns. 
• Experience in automation and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.). 
• Proficient in scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.). 
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.). 
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP) and container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker). 
• Experience with API gateway products (Kong, Apigee, etc.) and service meshes (Istio, Linkerd) is a plus.
