Responsibilities

E-Business Suite Cloud Migration

• Lead end-to-end migration of mission-critical EBS environment from on-premises to OCI, including planning, architecture, deployment, data migration, and cutover support
• Assess current infrastructure and design target OCI architectures aligned with performance, availability, security, and government compliance requirements
• Architect and configure OCI components: Compute, Block Storage, Object Storage, VCN, Load Balancing, File Storage, Database services, and identity/security services
• Coordinate with DBA, application, and network teams to ensure successful migration of application tiers, database tiers, and custom integrations

Cross-Region Disaster Recovery

• Design, build, and validate cross-region DR architecture using OCI services including block volume replication, database Data Guard, object storage replication, and load balancer failover strategies
• Implement automated replication, failover, and recovery procedures for both application and database tiers
• Develop COOP/DR runbooks, testing plans, and failover/failback procedures tailored to government workloads
• Lead periodic DR tests and ATO-aligned validation exercises to ensure readiness for region-wide outages

Cloud Architecture, Security & Compliance

• Ensure all migration and DR activities adhere to federal standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 security controls
• Configure IAM policies, compartments, network security groups, WAF, encryption (KMS), and audit logging to meet government governance requirements
• Support security assessments, SSP updates, ATO processes, and POA&M resolution activities for cloud-hosted systems

Operational Support & Optimization

• Monitor OCI infrastructure for performance, cost, and reliability; implement tuning and scaling strategies as needed
• Develop and implement patching strategies across environments (DEV/TEST/STAGE/PROD)
• Troubleshoot cloud issues including performance bottlenecks, networking, replication issues, or cross-region failover behavior

Automation & Infrastructure as Code

• Create and maintain Terraform or OCI Resource Manager IaC templates for provisioning infrastructure
• Automate environment builds, DR replication processes, and deployment pipelines
• Integrate compliance, configuration, and security automation into cloud operations
