Key Responsibilities

• Advise the Government client on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) strategy, environment planning, and migration considerations for PeopleSoft HCM and related enterprise systems.
• Work closely with Oracle, infrastructure teams, security teams, and application stakeholders to define and implement cloud environments, tenancy and compartment strategies, network designs, and supporting operational models.
• Develop and refine OCI environment approaches for development, test, staging, production, disaster recovery, and other required program environments based on operational and security needs.
• Design and configure OCI foundational components such as virtual cloud networks, subnets, routing, gateways, security lists, network security groups, load balancing, storage, compute, and backup services as required by the program.
• Establish and validate OCI identity, access, and security configurations, including least-privilege access models, role separation, credential management, logging, monitoring, and auditability.
• Support alignment of cloud designs and configurations with DoD policies, security controls, STIG-informed hardening approaches, RMF expectations, and other applicable compliance requirements.
• Assess current on-premises architecture, dependencies, interfaces, and operational processes to identify migration impacts, configuration requirements, risks, and sequencing considerations.
• Recommend and document best practices for OCI environment provisioning, configuration management, patching, backup and recovery, high availability, disaster recovery, and sustainment operations.
• Support security reviews, technical planning sessions, architecture discussions, and design decision-making with clear recommendations grounded in mission, performance, and compliance needs.
• Cook up with Oracle and internal teams to troubleshoot environment, configuration, connectivity, and security issues encountered during planning, setup, migration, and post-migration activities.
• Develop architecture artifacts, implementation guidance, SOPs, runbooks, environment diagrams, and configuration documentation to support repeatable and supportable OCI operations.
• Contribute to risk management, cutover planning, validation planning, and operational readiness activities to help ensure cure and stable transition from on-premises environments to OCI.
• Promote infrastructure-as-code, automation, standards, and governance practices that are appropriate to improve consistency, traceability, and long-term maintainability of cloud environments.
