Oracle Services - OCI Security Architect

• Lead hands-on implementation of OCI security controls across customer environments, ensuring a positive customer experience.
• Focus on large or complex opportunities requiring secure, scalable, and automated solutions.
• Advise customers on overall solution security architecture, applying Zero Trust and secure-by-default principles.
• Design, build, and deliver customer demonstrations, technology workshops, and webinars to showcase Oracle-based security solutions.
• Participate in or lead customer Proof of Concepts, workshops, or performance/security tests.

OCI security engineering (hands-on)

• Implement and manage OCI IAM (least privilege policies, dynamic groups, federation/SSO concepts, service-to-service access).
• Engineer secure OCI networking and segmentation (VCNs, subnets, route tables, DRGs, gateways) including Zero Trust packet routing concepts.
• Configure and manage Network Security Groups (NSGs) and layered network controls to enforce workload isolation and least access.
• Implement OCI Vault for keys and secrets management (access policies, lifecycle, rotation, integrations).
• Configure and operationalize OCI Cloud Guard (detectors/responders), including tuning, alerting, and response workflows.
• Deliver database security controls (encryption, auditing, privileged access controls) and integrate with OCI Data Safe for assessments and monitoring.
• Ensure security controls align with organizational policies on security, privacy, and data governance.

Automation / DevOps

• Build repeatable, secure deployments using:

• Terraform (modules, environments, state management, drift detection) o CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) with security gates and approvals o GitOps workflows (PR-based change control, promotion across environments) o Ansible for configuration management and orchestration

Documentation, customer advisory, and pre-sales

• Create customer-ready documentation including:

• Architecture artifacts (current state/target state, reference architectures, security patterns) o High-Level Designs (HLDs) and Low-Level Designs (LLDs) o Runbooks/SOPs, deployment guides, handover documentation, troubleshooting guides

• Gather requirements and lead discovery with customer stakeholders (security, compliance, networking, identity, operations).
• Run customer workshops (landing zone/security design sessions, IAM/network segmentation working sessions, threat modeling discussions).
• Support pre-sales by contributing to solutioning, estimates, delivery approach, and customer presentations/briefings.
• Understand competitive landscape and communicate opportunities to up-sell based on product expertise.
• Liaise with the Oracle ecosystem (Account Teams, Sales Consulting, Product teams, communities, cross-LOB teams).

Technical leadership

• Lead small delivery teams, coordinate work, and ensure high implementation quality.
• Review designs and Infrastructure-as-Code for security, quality, and maintainability.
• Mentor team members on OCI security services, automation standards, and delivery patterns., We expect deep, hands-on expertise in three or more of the following areas:
• OCI architecture and secure landing zone/tenancy patterns (compartments, guardrails/policies).
• Networking & Zero Trust: segmentation, routing patterns, and secure connectivity; Zero Trust packet routing concepts.
• IAM: least privilege policy design, dynamic groups/service identities, federation/SSO concepts.
• Network Security Groups (NSGs) and layered network security controls.
• OCI Vault: KMS/secrets management, access policies, rotation, integration into platforms/pipelines.
• Cloud Guard: posture management, detectors/responders, tuning and operationalization.
• Data Safe / Database Security: auditing, assessment, encryption, privileged access controls.
• Automation/DevOps: Terraform, Jenkins, GitOps, Ansible.
