These are always subject to change as new ones present themselves to us to solve more complex problems. We also use agile software methodologies including Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban.

Roles & Responsibilities

The candidate will work with highly skilled, highly motivated engineers using agile methodologies based on Scrum or Kanban, and incorporating enterprise agile practices from Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).   The team embraces a DevOps environment – the Developers are the Operators.  The work environment is to treat everything as code (code, configuration, infrastructure, pipelines, everything) to achieve the highest quality product in the most efficient amount of time.

You will work alongside a software development team within the greater Oracle Cloud Native Engineering team where you will develop new features as well as expand and support existing features. One week you may be writing automated tests for an existing feature. The next week you may be developing a new feature (design, code, test, and deploy) for a customer in our environment. The next week you may be providing support to a customer on your new feature.  You will learn new technologies based on what we already deploy and use.  You will also learn about and research new technologies that you bring to the team to better our offerings.

Oracle GBUs provide services to many critical systems globally requiring 24x7 support.  DevOps engineers will rotate with other team members in a designated, on-call status following in-country requirements.  CNE’s primary support model is follow the sun, utilizing geographically diverse team members during normal working hours to provide support.  CNE will strive to have subject matter experts distributed globally.  With geographic diversity, countries and regions have a broader array of holidays requiring a flexible support schedule across multiple geographies.  Additionally, coverage is required through the weekend.

To provide the required support to Oracle customers, CNE will use additional compensation to cover extended business hours and / or on-call pay based on in-country laws and Oracle policy.  In general, there will be a Primary and Secondary engineer designated in advance to provide coverage for select services.  If numerous services are supported in a specific geographic region, there may be more than one set of Primary / Secondary engineers selected.  Software engineers and database administrators will engage in activities to restore services that are down or degraded.  This may be as simple as running an existing script to restart a service or, executing a standard operating procedure, or may require codes changes with review steps, integration, testing, and software deployments to restore a service to normal operation.  In addition,  engagement with other Oracle development and support teams may be needed.
