## Description

Oracle Government Defense & Intelligence has an exciting opportunity for a Principal / Master Principal Cloud Architect-Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

Build What Others Only Design

Some engineers advise. Some architects create diagrams.

Forward Deployed Engineers build the solution, deploy it inside the customer's environment, and stay until it succeeds.

Oracle is seeking experienced cloud architects and infrastructure engineers to join an elite team supporting the U.S. Intelligence Community. As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will be embedded full-time with a single customer, partnering directly with operators, technical leaders, and mission stakeholders to architect, deploy, secure, and operationalize cloud solutions that solve real-world national security challenges.

This is not a traditional consulting role. It is not a presales role.

You will own the technical success of a high-priority customer engagement from initial architecture through production deployment and operational adoption.

If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy solving difficult infrastructure problems, and want to see your work directly impact mission outcomes, this role was built for you.
