About Oracle Cloud
Oracle Cloud is the first public cloud built from the ground up to be a better cloud for every application. By rethinking core engineering and systems design for cloud computing, we created innovations that solve problems that customers have with existing public clouds.
We accelerate migrations of existing enterprise workloads, deliver better reliability and performance for all applications, and offer the complete services customers need to build innovative cloud applications. There are six key reasons customers are choosing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for all their cloud workloads.
About the Team
Oracle Cloud’s Government, Defence, and Intelligence team is a smart, motivated, and diverse group that is focused on bringing the world’s most important work to OCI. We build and operate our government, classified, and sovereign cloud regions to be reliable and high-performance, just like our public cloud. Our customers and their mission are the center of what we do. We strive to improve our knowledge of the challenges our customers face which we use to enhance our cloud capabilities and work together to deliver their mission.
Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Technical Operations Engineer responsible for the operation of production environments, including systems and databases, supporting critical business operations. You will perform administration and analysis for multiple production environments and recommend new and novel solutions to improve availability, performance, and supportability.
This is an opportunity to bring a combination of deep technical knowledge with administration/analysis knowledge of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure to provide escalation support to a wide range of complex production environment problems related to immense growth, scaling, leveraging the cloud, extremely high performance, and high availability requirements. As a Senior Technical Operations Engineer, you will also guide junior engineers to solve complex problems, take part in large-scale incident bridges and help to build new processes and procedures.
OCI In
As cloud investment in Northern Ireland continues to grow, companies and governments are moving more mission critical workloads to cloud, and Oracle is ensuring full support to our customers with our offerings. Oracle Cloud Isolated Regions (OCIR) are secure, air-gapped Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) solutions designed to meet the higher demands of global customers’ mission-critical classified workloads. These regions provide all OCI public cloud services (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) in a physical location of the customer's choosing, supported and operated by dedicated personnel.
