Career Level - IC4

What You'll Do

Service Ownership – You will be part of the engineering team, whose mission is the shared full stack ownership of a collection of services and/or technology areas. You will be a member of a team that will understand the end-to-end configuration, technical dependencies, and overall behavioral characteristics of the production services, monitoring, diagnosability, incident management, etc. In partnership with your development teams, you and your team will have the responsibility to ensure that services are designed and delivered to be mission critical with focus on security, resiliency, scale, and performance.

 

Service Design – As the Oracle Cloud evolves; you will partner with other team members in defining and implementing improvements in service architecture, both current and future. You will be an expert at articulating technical characteristics of your services and the dependencies between services and guide Development teams to engineer and add premier capabilities to the Oracle Cloud service portfolio.

 

Service Monitoring - Define Service Level Objectives (SLO) and implement/monitor Service Level Indicators (SLI) for production services. Aggregate data from multiple monitoring tools, normalize, and build tools and alerts for the overall system health.

 

Operations Engineering – You will understand and be able to communicate the scale, capacity, security, automation, performance attributes and requirements of the services you own. You are a Subject Matter Expert, able to understand and communicate every characteristic of your service stack, such as: degradation and behavior under load of the services and their dependencies end-to-end tuning needs, optimizing resource utilization, as load patterns fluctuate Instrumentation and metrics that clearly describe the service behaviors scaling requirements and patterns, resiliency and recoverability, ensuring that backup / restore and disaster recovery capabilities are implemented, tested and maintained

 

Service Automation – You will have a clear understanding of automation and orchestration principles, and will be eager to automate, wherever and whenever the possibility arises, while simultaneously eliminating technical debt. You would maintain Infrastructure as a Code. Automation must be part of your DNA.

 

Prevention - Once you have expertly resolved an issue, you will immediately work on how to resolve the problem next time more quickly, with the goal to eventually prevent the problem happening ever again

 

Broad Interests - Cloud engineers are a mix of sysadmins and development engineers, and as such could understand and explain the effect of product architecture decisions on the ability to run as distributed systems. They are driven by professional curiosity and a desire to develop deep understanding of their services and the technologies they depend upon.

 

Represent Team - Proactive, self-motivated, customer-focused, organized, and a good communicator. Cloud Engineers can be expected to represent Cloud products and engineering in sensitive forums.

 

Ideally You Should Have:

- A BS or MS in Computer Science/Engineering, or equivalent

- 6-7 years of experience in IT including Development in Java/SQL/Python and/or running large scale customer facing web services in a Cloud environment along with DevOps experience

- Automation experience using Terraform, Python, Scripting, Containers

- Aptitude to be a good team player and the willingness to learn and implement new Cloud technologies as needed

- Methodical approach to troubleshooting complex problems

- Solid understanding and experience in:

• Cloud computing concepts and platforms
• Java and REST APIs, web application stack and patterns
• Database administration, SQL, and PL/SQL
• Linux internals and system administration
• Cloud Engineering Infrastructure Development
• Scripting languages such as Python, Bash
• Cloud service lifecycle management
• Configuration and change management and automation
• Clou
