About the role

  • Lead the end-to-end migration of a mission-critical EBS environment from on-premises to OCI, including planning, architecture, deployment, data migration, and cutover support
  • Assess current on-prem environments and design target OCI architectures that align with performance, availability, security, and government compliance requirements
  • Architect and configure OCI components required for EBS: Compute, Block Storage, Object Storage, VCN, Load Balancing, File Storage, Database services, and identity/security services
  • Coordinate with DBA, application, and network teams to ensure successful migration of application tiers, database tiers, and custom EBS integrations
  • Design, build, and validate a cross-region DR architecture for EBS using OCI services such as block volume replication, database Data Guard, object storage replication, and load balancer failover strategies
  • Implement automated replication, failover, and recovery procedures for both the EBS application tier and database tier
  • Develop COOP/DR runbooks, testing plans, and failover/failback procedures tailored to mission-critical government workloads
  • Lead periodic DR tests and ATO-aligned validation exercises to ensure readiness for region-wide outages
  • Ensure all EBS migration and DR activities adhere to federal standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST 800-53 security controls
  • Configure IAM policies, compartments, network security groups, WAF, encryption (KMS), and audit logging to meet government governance requirements
  • Support security assessments, SSP updates, ATO processes, and POA&M resolution activities for cloud-hosted EBS systems
  • Monitor OCI infrastructure supporting EBS workloads for performance, cost, and reliability; implement tuning and scaling strategies as needed
  • Develop and implement patching strategies for EBS components hosted in OCI, including coordination across environments (DEV/TEST/STAGE/PROD)
  • Troubleshoot EBS-related cloud issues including performance bottlenecks, networking, replication issues, or cross-region failover behavior
  • Create and maintain Terraform or OCI Resource Manager IaC templates for provisioning EBS-related OCI infrastructure
  • Automate environment builds, DR replication processes, and deployment pipelines to support EBS lifecycle operations
  • Integrate compliance, configuration, and security automation into cloud operations wherever possible
  • Work closely with program managers, DBAs, application SMEs, security teams, and network engineers to ensure the migration and DR solutions meet mission-critical requirements
  • Prepare architecture diagrams, migration plans, DR test results, and documentation required for government technical review boards and audits
  • Provide engineering expertise and technical leadership throughout the migration lifecycle and ongoing multi-region operations

Requirements

  • US Citizen
