You will work within an Integrated Team Structure alongside cloud architects, DevSecOps engineers, database administrators, and cybersecurity personnel to ensure the scalability, availability, and security of common services. This role requires 3 to 5 years of hands-on OCI administration experience and an active Oracle Cloud Infrastructure certification. An active Secret clearance and DoD 8140/8570 IAT-II or higher certification are required to start.

What you'll do

• Provision, configure, and administer OCI resources including Compute instances, Virtual Cloud Networks (VCN), subnets, security lists, route tables, gateways, block and object storage, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and compartments
• Monitor OCI environment health, performance, and capacity utilization using OCI Monitoring, Logging, and Observability services; respond to alerts and resolve infrastructure issues in alignment with 24/7/365 operational support requirements
• Support environment migrations to OCI, including lift-and-shift of existing workloads, resource rightsizing, and post-migration validation
• Implement and maintain OCI security controls including compartment isolation, security zones, Cloud Guard, Vault-managed secrets, and network security group (NSG) policies in compliance with DoD RMF and Cloud One authorization requirements
• Execute patching and maintenance activities for OCI-hosted infrastructure, including compute patching, OS-level updates, and OCI platform service upgrades, per approved change management procedures
• Support backup, restore, and disaster recovery operations, including OCI Object Storage lifecycle policies, cross-region replication configurations, and DR/COOP failover testing
• Collaborate with the DevSecOps Lead to implement and maintain IaC (Terraform) templates for repeatable, compliant OCI environment provisioning
• Document OCI configurations, runbooks, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support operational continuity and knowledge transfer
• Support the Technical Lead in implementing OCI architecture decisions, including the migration from legacy Oracle products to OCI-native equivalents (e.g., OCI GoldenGate Microservice, OCI IAM SSO Asserter, OCI Analytics Cloud)
• Participate in Integrated Team ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives; contribute to backlog refinement for infrastructure-related work items
• Assist the Cybersecurity Lead/ISSO with continuous monitoring, vulnerability scanning remediation, and ATO evidence collection for OCI-hosted resources
• Support service management and onboarding processes, including provisioning new mission partner environments and managing access controls per DESMF-aligned procedures
• Monitor and respond to OCI service quota limits, cost anomalies, and tenancy governance requirements in coordination with DISA and Cloud One administrators

Required Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Top Secret (TS) security clearance; candidates holding an active TS clearance will be given strong preference as the program's operational scope and data sensitivity may require TS access
• Experience administering Linux (RHEL, Oracle Linux, or equivalent) server environments, including OS configuration, hardening, scripting, and performance tuning
• Experience with Microsoft Windows Server administration, including Active Directory, Group Policy, and Windows-based workload management
• Hands-on experience with container technologies including Docker and Kubernetes (K8s), including image management, container runtime administration, and cluster operations
