TL;DR · Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the team to modernize resilient database platforms and establish reusable engineering standards. You will design, build, and operate secure Oracle database platforms across Exadata and Oracle RDS while managing capacity planning, performance tuning, and cloud transitions. The role focuses on treating infrastructure as software by implementing automation, version control, and continuous integration. You will utilize a technical stack including Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, AWS CloudFormation, Python, Shell scripting, and REST-based APIs to reduce manual work. Additionally, you will leverage AI tools for coding, troubleshooting, and documentation while ensuring compliance with enterprise security standards. Your core responsibilities include mentoring engineers, leading root-cause analysis for complex production issues, and managing high-availability features like Oracle RAC and Data Guard to ensure reliable service levels across the enterprise infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and operate secure, highly available Oracle database platforms across Exadata and Oracle RDS.
  • Engineer infrastructure resiliency using Oracle RAC, Data Guard, SharePlex, and advanced backup/recovery capabilities.
  • Develop reusable automation for infrastructure using Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, Python, and AWS CloudFormation.
  • Implement software engineering practices like version control, modular design, testing, and CI/CD for all infrastructure tasks.
  • Lead root-cause analysis for complex production issues while improving observability and operational maturity.
  • Mentor engineers to strengthen team capabilities in automation, cloud technologies, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Integrate AI tools as a productivity accelerator for coding, troubleshooting, and automated documentation.
  • Manage capacity planning, performance tuning, cost optimization, and large-scale cloud migrations.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, database platform engineering, cloud engineering, or related enterprise technology.
  • Deep expertise with Oracle Database and Exadata, including RAC, Data Guard, RMAN, ASM, PL/SQL, performance tuning, and capacity management.
  • Hands-on experience designing or operating infrastructure in AWS.
  • Strong infrastructure-as-code and automation experience using Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible, CloudFormation, Python, shell scripting, and APIs.
  • Experience with Git-based development, testing, reusable modules, and CI/CD practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish engineering standards, troubleshoot complex environments, and lead technical initiatives while mentoring others.
  • Advanced Oracle Exadata administration, monitoring tools (Rubrik, Foglight, Dynatrace, Splunk), Liquibase, Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS certifications (preferred).
