2d•$118,700 - $194,400

About The Position

You’ll collaborate across engineering, field, and product teams to prototype, test, and publish new labs and reusable assets that power lab events, workshops, and technical enablement programs across North America. This role focuses on designing and building new Oracle-based labs and demos that showcase AI/ML, data, and application services through realistic, scenario-driven use cases. You will write production-grade code to implement backend logic, automation, APIs, and orchestration, and develop interactive Markdown-based lab instructions, templates, and reusable modules. The position involves breaking down complex concepts into clear steps, prototyping, deploying, and validating labs end-to-end, and collaborating with product and field teams to align labs with new Oracle releases and GenAI features. You will also build and maintain reference architectures and SDK examples, participate in live demos and enablement sessions, and mentor junior Cloud Engineers.

Develop interactive Markdown-based lab instructions, templates, and reusable modules that deliver a consistent, high-quality learner experience.
Break down complex Oracle and AI concepts into clear, incremental steps that can be easily followed by users of varying technical skill levels.
Prototype, deploy, and validate labs end-to-end—focusing on usability, reliability, performance, and documentation quality.
Collaborate with product and field teams to align labs with new Oracle releases, GenAI platform features, and customer-requested topics.
Build and maintain reference architectures and SDK examples that demonstrate integration of Oracle GenAI Services, AI Vector Search, and Oracle Database.
Participate in live demos, dry runs, and internal enablement to showcase labs and gather feedback from engineers and customers.
Mentor junior Cloud Engineers and guide best practices for lab development, testing, and delivery.
