Oracle Cloud Engineer(SC Cleared)

Job Title: Oracle Cloud Engineer (SC Cleared)

Location: United Kingdom(Remote/Hybrid)

Position Type: Full-time

Experience Level: 5+ years

Clearance Required:SC Cleared

RequirementsWhat You Will Actually Do

• Provision, refresh and decommission environments across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS as the service needs them
• Run production-to-test cloning and the post-clone work that follows, including data masking, so test environments are safe as well as useful
• Plan the environment estate around the quarterly Oracle release cycle and publish that plan so nobody is surprised
• Maintain existing Terraform and write new Terraform, so infrastructure gets built the same way every time
• Own backup and restore: full, incremental and snapshot, tested back to a consistent known-good state, not just assumed to work
• Own disaster recovery for the platform layers: replication to the recovery site, a recovery plan that is current, and at least one proper test of it a year
• Run the vulnerability management cycle with our scanning tooling, and remediate to fixed timescales, with critical fixes measured in days not months
• Apply monthly vendor patches and firmware updates across the estate
• Automate start-up, shutdown and routine operations, and keep an eye on capacity so problems are raised before users notice them
• Help redesign the environment estate to support a better development lifecycle at a lower cost
• Share the privileged administration custodian duty: fulfil the small number of access requests that only top-level administration can action, and put bulk access changes through the formal change process rather than on the side
• Operate the break-glass process that governs any vendor back-end access: named individuals, stated purpose, fixed time window, nothing open-ended
• Keep the access records straight: an accurate environments tracker, evidence for the monthly access audit, and maintained standard operating procedures for system administration

What You Will Bring

Essential

• Strong hands-on OCI experience: compute, storage, networking, IAM and compartment design, including firewall and routing configuration
• Terraform in production use, not just a lab
• Linux administration and comfortable scripting
• Real backup, restore and disaster recovery experience, including having actually run a recovery test
• Experience running vulnerability scanning and remediation cycles in a managed environment
• Familiarity with bastion or jump host access patterns and privileged access management tooling, because the custodian duty runs through them
• SC clearance

Useful but Not Essential

• Oracle database familiarity (ATP, ADW or DBCS)
• Exposure to Tenable and Splunk
• Data masking or test data management
• Experience supporting an Oracle SaaS or ERP estate from the platform side
• Government or other high-assurance environments
