About The Job
This role provides 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. We operate the big data and streaming infrastructure that enables downstream teams to deliver reliable customer‑facing solutions at scale, while continuously improving operability and efficiency.
Required Experience
- 4+ years operating large‑scale, customer‑facing distributed platforms

- 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
