Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Oracle Heath (Cloud Engineering)

About the team

Design, build, and operate reliable cloud infrastructure and services for healthcare platform modernization, with a focus on scalability, automation, observability, incident response, and operational excellence. This is a remote role in the US and candidates must be US Citizens to qualify

Description

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to help build and operate reliable, scalable cloud-native platforms and services that support Oracle Health’s next-generation healthcare technology initiatives. This role works across platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, integration services, healthcare applications, and operational tooling. 

The ideal candidate is passionate about reliability, automation, observability, and performance. You will collaborate closely with software engineering, product, security, operations, and customer-facing teams to design resilient systems, improve service health, respond to incidents, and support modernization efforts across healthcare workflows, interoperability, data platforms, and AI-driven capabilities. 

This role bridges software engineering and operations: designing infrastructure and services for reliability, developing automation, improving monitoring and alerting, supporting incident response and root cause analysis, and contributing to secure, scalable systems running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. 

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and operate reliable cloud infrastructure, platform capabilities, and services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and legacy deployment models.
• Partner with software engineering teams to develop scalable, resilient services, APIs, integrations, and distributed systems.
• Forecast capacity needs, analyze service trends, and take proactive steps to ensure systems can support current and future workloads.
• Monitor service health, availability, latency, performance, and capacity using observability and reporting tools.
• Define and maintain meaningful SLIs, SLOs, KPIs, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks for production services.
• Improve service resilience through backup and restore validation, disaster recovery planning, secrets handling, patching, and least-privilege access practices.
• Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, postmortems, and follow-up remediation.
• Develop automation, scripts, and tooling to support provisioning, deployment, monitoring, metrics collection, mitigation, and remediation.
• Support safe release practices, including CI/CD, infrastructure automation, canary or blue-green deployments, rollback planning, and operational readiness reviews.
• Investigate and debug issues across applications, infrastructure, services, and dependencies to help teams meet service level objectives.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and reliability risks, then recommend and implement improvements.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, engineers, security, operations, and customer teams to deliver secure, customer-focused healthcare solutions.
• Support modernization efforts involving cloud-native architectures, healthcare interoperability, large-scale healthcare data platforms, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Communicate service health, operational risks, capacity concerns, and the potential impact of infrastructure, feature, or tooling changes.
• Contribute to documentation, runbooks, incident records, operational standards, and knowledge sharing.
• Participate in on-call rotations and operational support for production services.

Required Skills

• Linux and networking: Processes, filesystems, systemd, DNS, TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, load balancers, proxies, and basic database behavior.
• Kubernetes operations: Deployments, Services/Ingress, ConfigMaps/Secrets, RBAC, resource requests/limits, probes, autoscaling, persistent storage, Helm/Kustomize, container troubleshooting, and effective kubectl troubleshooting.
• Cloud and infrastructure-as-code: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure OCI or other cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Azure) , IAM, networks, compute, managed Kubernetes, Terraform, and configuration automation such as Ansible.
• Delivery engineering: Git, GitHub, container images/registries, CI/CD, safe release practices including canary deployments, blue-green deployments, rollback strategies, operational readiness, and ideally GitOps.
• Observability and reliability: Metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, useful alerts, SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, KPIs, incident response, on-call support, runbooks, postmortems, capacity planning, and performance tuning.
• Automation: Strong Bash/Shell scripting and Python experience; PowerShell and Go are useful differentiators. Focus on eliminating recurring toil through code, scripting, and repeatable automation.
• Security and recovery: Least-privilege access, secrets handling, image/dependency hygiene, patching, vulnerability remediation, backup/restore, and disaster-recovery testing.
• Healthcare and data systems are strongly preferred: SQL, healthcare technology operations, healthcare interoperability, and familiarity with FHIR, HL7, or large-scale healthcare data platforms.
• Collaboration and communication: Calm incident communication, clear root-cause analysis, collaboration with developers, technical communication, knowledge sharing, and influencing systems toward simpler, safer operations.
