Oracle Cloud Solutions Architect

Our client is seeking a hands-on Oracle Cloud (OCI) Solutions Architect to partner with their system integrator and take ownership of their Oracle cloud ecosystem. This role will play a critical part in designing, validating, and ultimately owning our OCI environment supporting Oracle Fusion applications (HCM, EPM, ERP) and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).

• Co-Lead architecture and implementation of integrations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for HR and local payroll needs.
• Establish standards and best practices across OCI and Oracle Fusion (HCM, EPM, FAH, FDI).
• Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and operationally sustainable.
• 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.
• Proven experience with 1) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute, networking, IAM, compartments, 2) Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), and 3) Oracle Fusion applications (HCM and/or EPM strongly preferred).
• Experience working alongside large system integrators (e.g., IBM, Accenture).
• Ability to operate as both architect and hands-on builder.
• Experience supporting or building integrations for HR/payroll systems.
• Strong understanding of cloud security, identity, and networking concepts.
• Ability to troubleshoot technical problems and issues.
• Experience and comfort solving problems in an ambiguous environment where there is constant change.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Oracle Cloud applications and tools.
• Experience transitioning environments from implementation to steady-state operations.

Education:

• OCI Architect certification (Associate or Professional) required
• BA or BS degree Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related fields.

Salary/Rate: $85-$100/HR (depends on experience level). This is a contract position with candidates expected to work 40 hours/ week.
