Oracle Health’s Core Platform Operations (CPO) team supports the core platforms that help run Millennium, spanning Linux infrastructure, Application Tier, WebSphere, Distributed File Systems, Business Objects, and Citrix. Our mission is to keep these platforms reliable, secure, and ready for the healthcare organizations that depend on them, while making them easier to maintain and improve.\nOur work connects Linux engineering with the behavior of the services running above it. You might trace a performance issue through a server and its middleware dependencies, improve a health check, or turn a repeated maintenance task into reusable automation. Across the team, we use rolling maintenance and canary environments to introduce changes with care. Current initiatives also include developing maintenance orchestration to reduce manual effort and human error. You’ll collaborate with application, networking, security, and infrastructure partners, learn how the pieces fit together, and help turn difficult operational problems into better engineering.\nYour Role\nAs a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll manage, maintain, and enhance physical and virtual Linux servers across production and nonproduction environments. You’ll bring deep technical judgment to system configuration, performance tuning, security patching, capacity planning, and complex troubleshooting, while helping shape the standards and tools the team uses every day.\nThis is a hands-on individual contributor role with technical leadership responsibilities. You’ll guide engineering decisions, mentor colleagues, and turn operational findings into lasting improvements. You’ll also participate in on-call support and serve as an escalation resource for the services within your scope.\nWhy This Work Is Worth Doing\nIf you enjoy following a problem from an application symptom down to the Linux processes, network connections, or resource constraints behind it, there is plenty to explore here. You’ll have opportunities to build useful tools, influence how infrastructure is operated, and see your improvements make daily work better for other engineers. Bring your curiosity, share what you learn, and help us solve the next problem more effectively than the last.\n What You Will Do\nEngineer and operate Linux infrastructure. Configure, update, maintain, and troubleshoot physical and virtual Linux servers across production and nonproduction environments, with a focus on availability, performance, stability, and security.\nGuide reliable design. Evaluate infrastructure configurations and service dependencies, identify failure points, and recommend practical improvements to reliability, scalability, and maintainability.\nUnderstand and improve performance. Analyze CPU, memory, storage, filesystem, process, and network behavior. Forecast resource needs, investigate bottlenecks, and tune systems using measured results.\nStrengthen monitoring. Improve metrics, logging, health checks, and actionable alerts. Use service trends and service-level objectives to identify degradation and prioritize engineering work.\nResolve complex incidents. Apply a methodical approach to diagnosis across operating systems, applications, networking, storage, and related dependencies. Coordinate with partner teams to restore service and communicate findings clearly.\nPrevent recurring failures. Perform root cause analysis and post-incident reviews. Translate findings into corrective actions, better diagnostics, runbooks, and engineering improvements.\nMaintain secure systems. Apply security patches and updates, remediate vulnerabilities, strengthen configurations and access controls, and maintain compliance with applicable security standards and policies.\nMake production changes safely. Plan maintenance, assess dependencies and risk, prepare rollback procedures, and validate system and application behavior after changes.\nAutomate repeatable work. Develop, test, document, and maintain Bash, Python, Ansible, or comparable automation for configuration, maintenance, monitoring, and recovery. Use version control and peer review to keep changes traceable and maintainable.\nSupport application delivery. Partner with developers, network engineers, security teams, and other IT staff on deployments, environment readiness, connectivity, and server-related requirements.\nImprove resilience and recovery. Help validate backup, restore, and recovery procedures for assigned systems, and address gaps that could delay service restoration.\nBuild team capability. Maintain architecture diagrams, standard operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, and change records. Mentor colleagues, share knowledge, and communicate technical risks and recommendations to stakeholders.\nContribute to dependable support coverage. Participate in on-call rotations and planned maintenance, provide escalation support for assigned services, and improve the documentation and tooling that make support more effective.\nWhat You Will Bring\nExtensive hands-on experience administering and troubleshooting Linux systems in production, including physical and virtual server environments.\nStrong knowledge of Linux internals, system services, processes, permissions, filesystems, logs, and resource utilization, with the ability to investigate performance and stability issues.\nPractical scripting and automation experience with Bash, Python, Ansible, or comparable tools, including testing, troubleshooting, and maintaining reusable solutions.\nWorking knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, ports, certificates, and connectivity troubleshooting across application and infrastructure dependencies.\nExperience with security patching, vulnerability remediation, secure configuration, access controls, and production change management.\nExperience monitoring system health, responding to incidents, investigating root causes, and implementing improvements that reduce recurring problems.\nDemonstrated technical leadership through sound engineering decisions, cross-team collaboration, mentoring, and clear documentation.\nA curious, methodical approach to problem solving and the ability to explain findings, tradeoffs, risks, and next steps to technical and nontechnical audiences.\nExperience That Would Help You Get Started\nExperience supporting Oracle Health, Millennium, Cerner applications, or other healthcare or regulated production environments.\nExperience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or other cloud platforms, hybrid environments, and infrastructure modernization.\nFamiliarity with middleware and application hosting, including WebSphere or WebLogic, and the Linux infrastructure those services depend on.\nExperience with configuration management, infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, REST APIs, observability, or resilience and recovery testing.\nDisclaimer:Certain U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization/occupational health mandates, and/or drug testing requirements.\nRange and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only\nUS: Hiring Range in USD from: $84,900 to $209,500 per annum. May be eligible for bonus and equity.\nOracle maintains broad salary ranges for its roles in order to account for variations in knowledge, skills, experience, market conditions and locations, as well as reflect Oracle's differing products, industries and lines of business.\nCandidates are typically placed into the range based on the preceding factors as well as internal peer equity.\nOracle US offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes the following:\n1. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, including expert medical opinion\n2. Short term disability and long term disability\n3. Life insurance and AD&D\n4. Supplemental life insurance (Employee/Spouse/Child)\n5. Health care and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts\n6. Pre-tax commuter and parking benefits\n7. 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan with company match\n8. Paid time off: Flexible Vacation is provided to all eligible employees assigned to a salaried (non-overtime eligible) position. Accrued Vacation is provided to all other employees eligible for vacation benefits. For employees working at least 35 hours per week, the vacation accrual rate is 13 days annually for the first three years of employment and 18 days annually for subsequent years of employment. Vacation accrual is prorated for employees working between 20 and 34 hours per week. Employees working fewer than 20 hours per week are not eligible for vacation.\n9. 11 paid holidays\n10. Paid sick leave: 72 hours of paid sick leave upon date of hire. Refreshes each calendar year. Unused balance will carry over each year up to a maximum cap of 112 hours.\n11. Paid parental leave\n12.
