Oracle Principal Engineer

About the role

Specialized Bicycle Components runs its global finance, supply chain, and commerce operations on Oracle. This role owns that platform: its architecture, its security and compliance posture, the Oracle Cloud Services relationship, and the platform work underpinning the migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. The position combines hands-on engineering with platform ownership.
