OCI Engineer📣 إعلان

About the Role

Datamatics Technologies is seeking an OCI Engineer to join their team in Makkah and Jeddah. This full-time role focuses on the daily build, configuration, operation, and support of cloud infrastructure services, primarily within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The OCI Engineer will apply approved architecture patterns, automation, and operational standards to deliver secure, available, and cost-efficient cloud environments. The position requires 2-5 years of experience and involves working with limited supervision on routine to moderately complex tasks, supporting senior engineers on larger initiatives, and contributing to migration, modernization, and continuous improvement activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Provision and configure OCI resources (Compute, Block/Object/FSS Storage, VCN, Load Balancer, DBCS, ADB) according to approved designs and landing-zone patterns.
• Configure networking (VCN, subnets, route tables, security lists/NSGs, gateways, FastConnect/IPSec VPN, DNS) and apply standard tagging, naming, and cost-allocation conventions.
• Support deployments and releases across environments using CI/CD pipelines (OCI DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps).
• Author and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules (Terraform / OCI Resource Manager) and automation scripts (Ansible, Bash, Python) for recurring tasks such as patching, certificate rotation, snapshots, and environment refresh.
• Monitor platform health and respond to alerts and incidents within SLAs using OCI Monitoring, OCI Logging, APM, and enterprise tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, Dynatrace).
• Execute routine operations including patching, backups, capacity checks, certificate renewals, and drift remediation; participate in on-call and change windows.
• Apply security controls (IAM policies, MFA, OCI Vault/KMS, encryption, segmentation, Bastion) and validate guardrails using Cloud Guard, Security Zones, Vulnerability Scanning, and Data Safe.
• Execute access management (user lifecycle, role assignment, service accounts, periodic reviews) and support audit/compliance evidence gathering.
• Assist with workload migration (lift-and-shift, re-platform) to OCI, environment setup, and hypercare; support application teams deploying onto OCI (Oracle DB, WebLogic, OKE, Functions, API Gateway).
• Contribute to cost optimization (right-sizing, scheduling, unused-resource cleanup) and maintain runbooks, configuration records, and operational documentation.
