About The Position

Oracle Health Data & Analytics Platform is a new organization focused on product development and strategy for Oracle Health and on building a platform for modernized, automated healthcare. The team supports HealtheIntent, operating the big data and streaming infrastructure that enables downstream teams to deliver reliable customer-facing solutions at scale while improving operability and efficiency.

In this role, you will support core data platforms and own shared, mission-critical systems used by multiple products and teams. You will design and operate large-scale, stateful distributed platforms, including Hadoop ecosystem components such as HDFS, YARN, and HBase deployed on Oracle Big Data Service, as well as Kafka and Storm. These multi-tenant platforms use Ansible- and Terraform-based automation and require architectural ownership to manage scale, change, and broad impact.

The role encompasses platform reliability, scalability, and operability; technical standards and architectural direction; capacity planning and platform lifecycle management; security of Kerberized environments; automation; incident leadership and prevention; and representation of SRE and platform engineering in high-visibility forums. U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a Federal Security Clearance are required.

Requirements

• At least 4 years operating large-scale, customer-facing distributed platforms.
• Deep experience with HDFS, YARN, HBase, Kafka, Storm, or similar systems.
• Strong background in Linux, networking, and distributed-system troubleshooting.
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience using Ansible and Terraform.
• Scripting and automation experience using Python, Ruby, and Bash.
• Hands-on experience operating Kerberized environments.
• Ability to define and document technical architecture for complex systems.
• Demonstrated ownership of shared platforms with broad impact and multiple downstream consumers.
• Experience designing observability and capacity models for distributed platforms.
• At least 5 years of technical experience relevant to the position.
• Ability to communicate effectively and build rapport with team members.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a Federal Security Clearance.
• BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end reliability, scalability, and operability of shared data platforms.
• Define platform standards, architectural direction, and operational guardrails.
• Influence cross-team technical decisions and long-term platform strategy.
• Drive platform evolution and influence reliability strategy across the data ecosystem.
• Explain system behavior, dependencies, and failure modes, and make trade-offs among reliability, performance, cost, and complexity.
• Provide guidance and guardrails that help downstream teams use platforms safely and effectively.
• Establish capacity models, scaling strategies, and operational best practices.
• Design platforms to behave predictably under load, failure, and change.
• Own platform lifecycle events, including upgrades, expansions, decommissioning, and recovery.
• Operate and evolve stateful distributed systems where data placement, replication, and recovery are critical.
• Address distributed-system failure modes such as backpressure, rebalancing, region movement, replication lag, and rolling upgrades.
• Operate and maintain Kerberized platforms, including authentication, authorization, and secure service-to-service communication.
• Design and evolve Ansible- and Terraform-driven automation, managing it as versioned, reviewed, tested production software.
• Reduce operational toil by encoding reliability and safety into the platform.
• Serve as the ultimate escalation point for complex or ambiguous incidents and focus on preventing classes of failure.
• Represent SRE and platform engineering in high-visibility and sensitive forums and communicate with engineering leadership and partner teams.
• Operate big data and streaming infrastructure supporting HealtheIntent and improve its operability and efficiency.

Benefits
