Data Plane Architect

Key Responsibilities Architect Data Plane Solutions

• Design and implement high-performance, high-reliability, and high-availability data plane architectures in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Develop solutions integrating Oracle technologies such as Autonomous Database, Golden Gate, Data Pump, and Data Transforms (ODI/DT).
• Ensure optimal data flow, scalability, and enterprise-grade fault tolerance.

Performance Optimization

• Lead continuous performance tuning and optimization efforts for data plane components.
• Focus on throughput, latency reduction, and resilience in distributed, multi-domain, and multi-region architectures.

Security and Access Control

• Design secure data plane components with fine-grained access control and encryption mechanisms.
• Enforce end-to-end data security (encryption in transit/at rest), robust IAM, and effective data governance across OCI and connected environments.
• Apply security best practices within autonomous databases.

Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams

• Partner with networking, storage, SaaS applications (Fusion, ERP, HCM, CX), and database teams.
• Propose technical solutions that bridge infrastructure and business needs to ensure seamless integration across platforms.

Lead Technical Discussions

• Serve as the technical SME for customers, internal teams, and project managers.
• Lead architectural design sessions and troubleshoot complex data flow issues, including edge cases, best practices, and technical challenges like latency and reliability.
• Drive continuous innovation and improvement.

High Availability (HA) & Disaster Recovery (DR) Strategies

• Architect and implement HA and DR strategies for mission-critical data plane services using Oracle Golden Gate, Data Guard, and other replication tools.
• Ensure minimal downtime and enable robust business continuity.

Monitoring and Observability

• Use monitoring tools (e.g., Oracle Cloud Observability and Management) to create real-time dashboards for monitoring data traffic, latency, and performance.
• Develop logs and alerts for real-time performance tracking.

Automation and Infrastructure as Code

• Develop and implement automated workflows for provisioning and scaling data plane services using Terraform, Ansible, and OCI's automation tools.
• Build CI/CD pipelines to ensure repeatable, auditable infrastructure builds.
• Automate manual, repetitive, and error-prone data/infrastructure processes via scripting (Python, Node, shell), API, and Oracle Functions.

Networking

• Architect and optimize multi-cloud networking components (VCNs, Fast Connect, Express Route, VPNs, load balancers, private endpoints, firewalls).
• Ensure secure, performant, and reliable data movement between OCI, on-premises, and other clouds.
• Familiarity with networking protocols such as TCP/IP, routing, DNS, HTTP, and SSL/TLS.
