This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an OCI Security Engineer based in the United States.
This role focuses on securing and governing enterprise cloud environments built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ensuring robust protection across identity, data, network, and workload layers.
You will design and implement security architectures that enforce strong guardrails, compliance standards, and least-privilege access across complex OCI tenancies.
The position plays a critical role in detecting, preventing, and responding to security threats across cloud and hybrid Oracle environments.
You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and compliance teams to ensure secure-by-design cloud deployments at scale.
The environment is highly technical and security-driven, with strong emphasis on automation, observability, and continuous improvement.
You will also contribute to incident response, vulnerability management, and regulatory compliance initiatives across enterprise systems.
This is a hands-on role where your expertise directly strengthens cloud resilience and enterprise security posture.
