About The Job

This role provide support to core data platforms behind Oracle Health’s Data & Analytics Platform. As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), you will own shared, mission-critical systems used by multiple products and teams.

You will work on the design and operation of large-scale, stateful distributed platforms, including Hadoop ecosystem components (HDFS, YARN, HBase) deployed on Oracle Big Data Service (BDS), Kafka, and Storm. These multi-tenant platforms are deployed and operated through Ansible- and Terraform-based automation and require strong architectural ownership to manage scale, change, and broad blast radius.

What You'll Do

Platform Ownership & Technical Leadership

• 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 long-term platform evolution and influence reliability strategy across the data ecosystem

Architecture & Design

• Clearly articulate system behavior, dependencies, and failure modes
• Make principled trade-offs between reliability, performance, cost, and complexity
• Provide guidance and guardrails that enable downstream teams to use platforms safely and effectively

Operations Engineering

• Establish capacity models, scaling strategies, and operational best practices
• Design platforms that behave predictably under load, failure, and change
• Own platform lifecycle events: upgrades, expansions, decommissioning, and recovery

Distributed Systems Expertise

• Operate and evolve stateful distributed systems where data placement, replication, and recovery are critical
• Reason about failure modes such as backpressure, rebalancing, region movement, replication lag, and rolling upgrades

Security

• Operate and maintain Kerberized platforms, including authentication, authorization, and secure service-to-service communication
• Treat security as a first-class architectural concern

Automation

• Design and evolve an Ansible- and Terraform-driven automation framework
• Treat automation as production software: versioned, reviewed, tested, and improved
• Eliminate operational toil by encoding reliability and safety into the platform

Incident Leadership & Prevention

• Serve as the ultimate escalation point for complex or ambiguous incidents
• Focus on eliminating entire classes of failure, not just resolving individual issues

Representation

• Represent SRE and platform engineering in high-visibility and sensitive forums
• Communicate clearly with engineering leadership and partner teams

Responsibilities

The team operates within the Oracle Health Data & Analytics Platform, supporting one of Oracle Health’s core products, HealtheIntent.

Required Experience

• 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 using Ansible and Terraform
• Scripting and automation using Python, Ruby, and Bash
• Hands-on experience operating Kerberized environments
• Proven ability to define and document technical architecture for complex systems
• Demonstrated ownership of shared platforms with broad blast radius and multiple downstream consumers
• Experience designing observability and capacity models for distributed platforms

Required Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship and eligibility for a Federal Security Clearance
• 5+ years of technical experience relevant to this position
• Ability to communicate effectively and build rapport with team members
