Function Cloud Platform Engineering Primary Platform Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

He should be an Indian candidate working in KSA

- Role Purpose The Cloud Platform Engineer is responsible for the day-to-day build, configuration, operation and support of cloud infrastructure services, with a primary focus on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The role applies approved architecture patterns, automation and operational standards to deliver secure, available and cost-efficient cloud environments. The cloud platform engineer works with limited supervision on routine to moderately complex tasks, supports senior engineers on larger initiatives, and contributes to migration, modernization and continuous-improvement activities. Working knowledge of at least one secondary public cloud (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud) and adjacent tooling such as Terraform, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines is expected.
- Key Responsibilities
- Provision and configure OCI resources (Compute, Block/Object/FSS Storage, VCN, Load Balancer, DBCS, ADB) following approved designs and landing-zone patterns. • Configure networking (VCN, subnets, route tables, security lists/NSGs, gateways, FastConnect/IPSec VPN, DNS) and apply standard tagging, naming and cost-allocation conventions. • Support deployments and releases across environments using CI/CD pipelines (OCI DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps). • Author and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Terraform / OCI Resource Manager) and automation scripts (Ansible, Bash, Python) for recurring tasks – patching, certificate rotation, snapshots, environment refresh. • Monitor platform health and respond to alerts and incidents within SLAs using OCI Monitoring, OCI Logging, APM and enterprise tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, Dynatrace). • Execute routine operations – patching, backups, capacity checks, certificate renewals and drift remediation; participate in on-call and change windows. • Apply security controls (IAM policies, MFA, OCI Vault/KMS, encryption, segmentation, Bastion) and validate guardrails using Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vulnerability Scanning and Data Secure. • Execute access management (user lifecycle, role assignment, service accounts, periodic reviews) and support audit / compliance evidence gathering. • Assist with workload migration (lift-and-shift, re-platform) to OCI, environment setup and hypercare; support application teams deploying onto OCI (Oracle DB, WebLogic, OKE, Functions, API Gateway). • Contribute to cost optimization (right-sizing, scheduling, unused-resource cleanup) and maintain runbooks, configuration records and operational documentation.
