The Role
Build, configure, operate, and support OCI cloud infrastructure, including networking, storage, compute, databases, Kubernetes, security, monitoring, CI/CD, and backups. Develop Terraform and automation modules, respond to incidents, perform patching and access management, support migrations and application deployments, optimize cloud costs, and maintain operational documentation. The role also requires secondary-cloud knowledge, on-call participation, compliance support, and collaboration with architecture, security, database, application, and vendor teams.

JOB DESCRIPTION
Role Cloud Platform Engineer Experience 3 – 6 years
Function Cloud Platform Engineering Primary Platform Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
He should be an Indian candidate working in KSA
1. Role Purpose
The Cloud Platform Engineer is responsible for the day-to-day build, configuration, operation and support of cloud infrastructure services, with a primary focus on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The role applies approved architecture patterns, automation and operational standards to deliver secure, available and cost-efficient cloud environments. The cloud platform engineer works with limited supervision on routine to moderately complex tasks, supports senior engineers on larger initiatives, and contributes to migration, modernization and continuous-improvement activities. Working knowledge of at least one secondary public cloud (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud) and adjacent tooling such as Terraform, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines is expected.
2. Key Responsibilities
• Provision and configure OCI resources (Compute, Block/Object/FSS Storage, VCN, Load Balancer, DBCS, ADB) following approved designs and landing-zone patterns. • Configure networking (VCN, subnets, route tables, security lists/NSGs, gateways, FastConnect/IPSec VPN, DNS) and apply standard tagging, naming and cost-allocation conventions. • Support deployments and releases across environments using CI/CD pipelines (OCI DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps). • Author and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Terraform / OCI Resource Manager) and automation scripts (Ansible, Bash, Python) for recurring tasks – patching, certificate rotation, snapshots, environment refresh. • Monitor platform health and respond to alerts and incidents within SLAs using OCI Monitoring, OCI Logging, APM and enterprise tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, Dynatrace). • Execute routine operations – patching, backups, capacity checks, certificate renewals and drift remediation; participate in on-call and change windows. • Apply security controls (IAM policies, MFA, OCI Vault/KMS, encryption, segmentation, Bastion) and validate guardrails using Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vulnerability Scanning and Data Safe. • Execute access management (user lifecycle, role assignment, service accounts, periodic reviews) and support audit / compliance evidence gathering. • Assist with workload migration (lift-and-shift, re-platform) to OCI, environment setup and hypercare; support application teams deploying onto OCI (Oracle DB, WebLogic, OKE, Functions, API Gateway). • Contribute to cost optimization (right-sizing, scheduling, unused-resource cleanup) and maintain runbooks, configuration records and operational documentation.
