• Drive transition from implementation to internal ownership, including documentation and knowledge transfer.

• Identify risks, gaps, and optimization opportunities in current architecture.

• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for OCI and Oracle integrations.

Experience and Qualifications:

• 8 years of experience in cloud architecture or engineering, with hands-on OCI experience.

• Experience supporting or building integrations for HR/payroll systems.

• Strong understanding of cloud security, identity, and networking concepts.
