Sr. Network Engineer

US Citizen & Federal / Government background screening required Organizational Overview

Oracle Cloud continues to drive innovation across the infrastructure and cloud services space, empowering enterprise customers worldwide through automation, scalability, and security. The Infrastructure Engineering Services (IES) Federal Network team plays a foundational role in this mission, delivering enterprise‑grade networking and security solutions that power Oracle's most critical workloads across US‑based OCI and OHAI data centers for our Federal customers.

The IES Federal Network team is responsible for the network strategy, support, and standardization of the Federal environment in OHAI’s US‑based data centers and cloud footprint. The team’s responsibilities span across core routing and switching, security services including firewall management, advanced fabric technologies, OCI cloud networking, and network automation. They are responsible for managing monitoring, security, and lifecycle management of hardware and software.

The team's work underpins network operations, engineering, architecture, and automation for several cross‑functional teams, ensuring a smooth and scalable network environment. One of the team's core priorities is the migration of our Federal clients to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). To support this, the Federal Network team requires experienced specialized Network Engineers who possess both deep architectural knowledge and extensive migration experience.

Ensuring Site UP is the top priority, we are laser focused on ensuring site reliability, performance, and security while leading migration efforts to the next generation cloud infrastructure. Consisting of a group of experienced Network Engineers, the IES Federal Network team is the high‑octane engine powering the transformation of our data center network to native cloud based infrastructure. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge network engineering and cloud transformation projects, working with diverse teams to shape the future of enterprise networking solutions.
