Cloud Architect - Oracle
Role Summary
One of our portfolio companies is seeking a high-caliber Senior Oracle DBA & Infrastructure Engineer to lead our transition into a cloud-native future.
This is a high-impact role requiring a "full-stack" infrastructure mindset. You will manage the intersection of enterprise database administration, cloud architecture, and secure networking. You will be responsible for the performance, security, and scalability of our proprietary ERP solution across 36 modules, ensuring seamless integration for a global client base.
Key Responsibilities
- Multi-tenant Architecture: Manage and optimize a sophisticated Multi-tenant (CDB/PDB) environment. Use containerized databases on single instances to maximize resource utilization and simplify administration.
- Oracle 19c Oversight: Act as the primary authority for Oracle 19c databases, including patching, performance tuning, and PL/SQL optimization.
- Cloud Migration & Standardization: Drive the final stages of client migrations from on-premises to OCI, ensuring all environments adhere to uniform Oracle Linux and application server versions.
- Network Engineering: Manage internal firewalls and secure client connectivity via VPN tunnels and IPSec configurations to OCI.
- Hybrid Environment Management: Maintain high availability for the remaining in-house servers while scaling SDC’s proprietary cloud infrastructure.
- Business Continuity: Own the Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy, leveraging Oracle native replication technologies across separate data centers to ensure zero-data-loss for major clients.
- Technical Customizations: Collaborate directly with customers to implement complex software customizations and interfaces.
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of experience in Oracle Database Administration and Systems Engineering.
- Expert-level knowledge of Oracle 19c, Multitenancy, Oracle APEX, and legacy Oracle Forms/Reports.
- Proven experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), specifically VCNs, Load Balancers, and Cloud Storage.
- Advanced administration of Oracle Linux (RHEL) and Windows Server environments.
- Deep understanding of networking protocols, firewall management, and IPSec VPN setup.
- Prior experience supporting or integrating large-scale ERP systems is highly preferred.
- Ability to operate independently in a 100% remote environment while maintaining high visibility
- Comfortable translating complex technical requirements for business stakeholders and customers.
- Shift-focus from "maintenance" to "optimization," identifying ways to reduce complexity through automation and standardization.
Our Values at Beacon Software
- Humility: We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time.
- Honesty: We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant.
- Hunger: We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected.
- Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth.
How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role.
AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate.
