About the Role

You will join Accenture's Oracle Security Delivery team as a senior OCI security specialist, working across live Oracle Cloud Security programs for enterprise clients in the region. This is a deep technical role — you will be architecting and implementing end-to-end security across OCI environments, from Landing Zone design through to encryption, identity, network controls, and continuous compliance.

If you live and breathe OCI security and want to work on complex, real-world programs where your expertise directly shapes outcomes, this is the role.

What You'll Do

Cloud Security & Threat Protection

• Design, build, test, and deploy OCI native security controls including Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Security Advisors, and Threat Intelligence

• Define and enforce Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) practices — baseline assessments, drift detection, CIS OCI Benchmark alignment, and continuous compliance reporting

• Integrate Cloud Guard with SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk via OCI Streaming and Events

Encryption & Key Management

• Architect and implement OCI Key Management Service (KMS) — covering Master Encryption Keys, Data Encryption Keys, key rotation, versioning, and lifecycle management across OCI storage, databases, and SaaS data

• Design and deploy OCI Hardware Security Module (HSM / Dedicated KMS) for FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant environments, including cluster provisioning, client configuration, and service integration

• Configure OCI Vault for centralized secrets management — database passwords, API keys, tokens, and certificates — with automated rotation, versioning, and audit trails

Identity & Access

• Design and implement OCI IAM controls including Identity Domains, compartment structures, IAM policies, and dynamic groups

• Implement OCI Security Zone policies to enforce mandatory guardrails across compartments

Network Security

• Architect OCI network security including VCN design, Security Lists, Network Security Groups, OCI Firewall, and DRG-based hub-and-spoke topology to enforce traffic segmentation and zero-trust access

Application & API Security

• Configure OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF) — protection rules, bot management, rate limiting, geo-blocking, and custom rules — tuned for Oracle Fusion SaaS and public-facing applications

• Implement OCI API Gateway security including JWT and OAuth 2.0 authentication, authorization rules, rate limiting, and WAF integration for backend APIs and Oracle Integration Cloud endpoints

• Manage OCI Certificate Service for full certificate lifecycle — CA creation, issuance, renewal automation, revocation, and integration with Load Balancers and API Gateways

Logging, Monitoring & Vulnerability Management

• Configure OCI Audit Service, Logging, and Log Analytics for centralized capture, retention, and analysis of security events

• Implement OCI Vulnerability Scanning Service for continuous assessment of compute instances and container images, integrated with Cloud Guard for automated remediation tracking

Essential

• 6+ years of hands-on OCI security engineering experience across large enterprise tenancies

• Proven implementation experience across Cloud Guard, KMS, HSM, Vault, WAF, and OCI IAM

• Strong command of OCI Landing Zone security design and delivery

• Advanced proficiency in OCI IAM — this is non-negotiable

• Ability to own delivery outcomes and operate independently on complex programs
   

Preferred

• OCI Security Professional (1Z0-1104) or OCI Architect Professional certification

• Experience with Oracle Fusion Applications security

• Prior project exposure in the UAE or GCC

• Familiarity with FIPS 140-2, CIS Benchmarks, and regional compliance requirements
