San Francisco Bay Area location required.

Fusion Applications (FA) is Oracle's leading SaaS offering of several critical business applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and many more. The enterprise grade application suite serves as one of the focal points of Oracle's business value.

We are the Fusion Applications Technical Architecture team and have been tasked with defining the next generation architecture (codename Spectra) based on cloud native principles running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The migration from a monolith to a modern cloud based micro-service architecture opens new avenues to work with a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies and OCI services. It will also mean instituting better processes and practices as we transform to software as a service development model that includes following industry standard developer workflows, CICD pipelines, safe deployment practices, cloud based automated testing, DevOps culture, etc.

For this new Spectra architecture, we're building data extraction services, that is highly scalable, performant and resilient. This is a startup team and comes with a service ownership role that is hands-on, with lots of opportunity for large contributions and impact across the organization. At this stage, we're looking for a highly passionate, talented and hands-on technical engineer to join us and be at the driving seat of our engineering team. All the data that we serve is based on security principals. So, we're looking for someone who has a good grasp on security concepts and preferably who has experience working in that domain. As with most service teams, there is a periodic on call rotation as part of this role. The new engineer will be participating in the rotation, improving our operational processes/practices and build any necessary automation to reduce operational toil.
