About the role
About Lockheed Martin and EMBERPOINT
Lockheed Martin is partnering with PG&E, Salesforce, and Wells Fargo to deliver EMBERPOINT™, an initiative designed to transform wildfire prevention, detection, and response across the United States. EMBERPOINT integrates advanced sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, and real-time command-and-control capabilities to help detect wildfires earlier, prevent escalation, and improve coordination between utilities, emergency responders, and public agencies. To support this mission, we are building a secure and scalable cloud platform that enables real-time data processing, advanced analytics, and resilient operational systems. We are seeking an Oracle Cloud Administrator to design, provision, and operate the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) platform that powers key EMBERPOINT workloads.
The Role: Oracle Cloud Administrator
As an Oracle Cloud Administrator, you will architect and operate the OCI environment supporting Kubernetes-based applications, infrastructure automation, and large-scale data processing. You will play a key role in building the platform from the ground up and ensuring it operates securely, reliably, and efficiently. You will also support engineering teams migrating workloads from AWS to OCI, providing guidance, operational patterns, and documentation to ensure a smooth transition.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, provision, and manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environments including tenancy structures, compartments, and governance controls.
- Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters using Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) to support containerized workloads.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and OCI Resource Manager to automate cloud provisioning.
- Establish and enforce identity, access, and security baselines across the OCI environment.
- Implement monitoring, logging, and operational observability for cloud services and workloads.
- Lead the initial OCI platform build-out and support ongoing cloud operations.
- Assist engineering teams migrating workloads from AWS to OCI by providing patterns, runbooks, and hands-on guidance.
Who We Are
Our cloud platform team provides the infrastructure that enables the EMBERPOINT ecosystem to ingest, process, and analyze data in real time. We build highly reliable cloud environments that support mission-critical applications designed to help protect communities and critical infrastructure from wildfire threats. Our team values automation, operational discipline, and collaborative problem solving while building systems that operate securely and at scale.
Who You Are
You are a cloud infrastructure professional who enjoys building and operating modern cloud platforms. You bring strong technical expertise in cloud services, automation, and security practices, and you are comfortable working across engineering teams to enable reliable and scalable systems. You enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges and helping development teams adopt cloud-native practices while maintaining strong operational stability.
