OCI Security Consultant

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Oracle Cloud Security Engineer responsible for designing, implementing, and operating security controls across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Cloud Applications, and hybrid Oracle environments. In this role you will define security architecture, harden cloud workloads, manage identity and access, lead vulnerability and compliance programs, and respond to security incidents. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical expertise in OCI security services with strong experience in cloud-native security frameworks, regulatory compliance, and threat detection.

In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement security architecture for OCI, Oracle Cloud Applications, and hybrid Oracle environments.
• Hardening of cloud workloads and infrastructure to meet security and compliance requirements.
• Manage identity and access governance using OCI Identity and IAM policies, including identity federation.
• Operate OCI-native security services: Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vault, and Data Safe.
• Lead vulnerability management programs, coordinate patching, and integrate with SIEM platforms.
• Drive regulatory compliance initiatives (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001) and maintain evidence artifacts.
• Participate in security incident response, including containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
• Automate security controls and compliance checks using scripting (Python, Bash) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
• Review code, designs, and architecture for security risks and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Five or more years of cloud security experience, with strong hands-on time on OCI.
• Deep experience with OCI Identity, IAM policies, and identity federation.
• Hands-on experience with OCI Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vault, and Data Safe.
• Solid understanding of cloud-native security frameworks and CIS benchmarks.
• Experience with vulnerability management and patching tooling.
• Working knowledge of regulatory frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
• Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash) and Terraform.
• Experience integrating cloud workloads with SIEM platforms.
• Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Oracle Cloud Security Professional certification.
• CISSP, CCSP, or equivalent industry security certifications.
• Experience with multi-cloud security architectures.
• Familiarity with SOAR platforms and automated incident response.
• Exposure to zero-trust architecture patterns.
