Oracle Principal Engineer

Oracle Principal Engineer   Role Summary   Specialized Bicycle Components runs its global finance, supply chain, and commerce operations on Oracle. This   role owns that platform: its architecture, its security and compliance posture, the Oracle Cloud Services   relationship, and the platform work underpinning the migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.   The position combines hands-on engineering with platform ownership. The Principal Engineer   remains   technically engaged with Oracle 19c and EBS R12.x while setting OCI architecture standards, owning the SOX   control environment, directing the Oracle Cloud Services team as a delivery program, and owning the platform   work beneath the EBS-to-Fusion migration.   Responsibilities   Oracle Database and EBS Engineering   The Principal Engineer provides technical leadership for Oracle 19c and EBS R12.x across Production, Test,   Development, and   Disaster Recovery. The work spans   highly available   architecture built on RAC, Data Guard,   RMAN, and ASM; backup, recovery, and business continuity strategy; and the planning and execution of   patching, upgrades, cloning, refreshes, and performance tuning. The role   establishes   the runbooks and   operational standards supporting 24x7 availability and   leads   root cause analysis to reduce recurring incidents.   While not performing testing directly, the Principal Engineer is accountable for test coverage and execution   ahead of patching and platform changes, and for communicating maintenance windows, change timing, and   expected impact across the technology organization.   OCI Architecture, Security, and Compliance   This role owns OCI architecture to Oracle Well-Architected and landing-zone standards, including   compartment design, tenancy and IAM governance, network design, and infrastructure-as-code with   Terraform. It also owns Oracle SOX IT General Controls: access reviews, segregation of duties, change   management,   and audit evidence for the annual internal audit review. Encryption and key management, data   masking , vulnerability management, and cloud cost governance fall within the same scope.   The Oracle CSS Partnership   Oracle Cloud Services is managed here as a delivery program rather than a support queue. The   Principal   Engineer sets priorities, plans capacity, tracks milestones, and holds CSS accountable for SLAs, availability, and   incident resolution. The role owns the statement of work and change requests, contributes to contract renewal   discussions, and stewards   Specialized's   Oracle licensing posture.   The Fusion Migration   The migration from OCI-hosted EBS to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications is a multi-year program owned by the   Global Enterprise Applications leader. While GEA owns the applications migrating, this role owns the systems   and platform beneath them: target platform architecture, environment strategy, data migration, and   coexistence between EBS and Fusion during the transition. The Principal Engineer partners with GEA and   SBC Internal Use   OnlySBC   Internal Use Only   application leads to plan and   execute   each phase, and is accountable for the platform being ready, secure, and   performing   when it is.   Cross-Functional Partnership   This role works closely with the Global Enterprise Applications (GEA) team, partnering on demand intake,   ticket triage, and execution for Oracle work, and coordinating on releases, environment availability, and   application changes that cross the infrastructure and applications boundary. The Principal Engineer also   participates in the Global Tech Prioritization process, providing technical assessment, effort estimation, and   architectural input on proposed initiatives, and translating approved priorities into delivery plans for the   Oracle platform. Regular collaboration with Finance, Supply Chain, Security, and Infrastructure teams rounds   out the role's cross-functional scope.   Thought Leadership and Technology Innovation   The Principal Engineer defines and   maintains   the long-term architecture roadmap for   Specialized's   Oracle   landscape, evaluates emerging capabilities including AI and advanced automation within Fusion, and brings   forward proposals ahead of operational demand. The role serves as a technical advisor to Technology   leadership and   mentors   engineers across the organization.   Required Qualifications   •   10+ years of Oracle Database Administration supporting mission-critical enterprise applications,   including 8+ years of hands-on EBS R12.x administration.   •   Deep Oracle 19c   expertise   across RAC, Data Guard, RMAN, ASM, and performance tuning, with hands-   on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure experience.   Strong Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) platform administration experience, including VCN design, network   segmentation, IAM governance, compartment strategy, console administration, and cloud security controls.   •   Strong Linux fundamentals on Oracle Linux or RHEL: shell scripting, SSH and   sudo   administration, OS   performance tuning, and security hardening.   •   Demonstrated   program leadership, including planning, dependency tracking, and stakeholder   reporting, and experience directing a managed-services vendor in a 24x7 production environment.   •   Working knowledge of SOX ITGC and audit controls, identity and access management, and cloud   security   practice.   Proven ability to communicate maintenance windows, change timing, and platform impact clearly across the   technology organization   and to   business stakeholders.   Preferred Qualifications   Experience with Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, particularly an EBS-to-Fusion migration, is the strongest   differentiator for this role. Experience designing secure OCI landing zones and enterprise-scale cloud   governance mo
