Oracle Security Engineer 5 in Madison, Wisconsin
Job Description
Organization and Team
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a top-five cloud provider of Iaas, PaaS, and SaaS products. The OCI Product Security team is responsible for making sure we deliver the highest level of security for Oracle customers of any cloud environment. Our scope includes the cloud platform itself, as well as the growing list of 200+ services and products within the core OCI catalog. We work in partnership with product service teams to deliver robust, trustworthy cloud services and applications.
To enable our continued growth, OCI is expanding an internal consulting team of security experts who enable large projects, unblock complex security efforts, and lead the business in delivering on strategic security-centric business goals. This team is composed expert-level product security ICs (this type of role) paired with hands-on, experienced security technical program managers and analysts. The team uses a consulting-style engagement model to pave paths to improvement, and then drive those changes throughout Oracle's products.
This is a role for someone who loves to drop into teams of smart people struggling with hard problems and help design the path forward. This is a role for someone who knows when to prototype a solution themselves vs. driving a plan across set of teams. This is a role for someone who loves to help others, solve problems, make big security improvements, and loves moving between a diverse set of technical challenges.

Pull apart Cloud Services down to the nuts & bolts to understand how they work, how they can work better, and how they should be leveraged or extended to meet business goals
Work on a combination of 3-10 big projects a year or 5-20 small projects a year
Know when you should spend your time “hands on keyboard” vs. white-boarding solution (e.g. coding/prototyping vs. zoom/design work)
Collaborate with your teammates to collectively support security initiatives across 175+ services and 10,000+ developers in their mission to continuously “level up” security of service families and the OCI platform
Collaborate with service team’s architects to lend your security expertise to product design conversations and implementation decisions
Develop designs for how OCI will meet future security goals, support development of organization-wide plans for making it happen, and embed with teams as necessary to validate we’re doing the right things.
Periodically embed with service teams for 1-6 weeks to provide technical direction, answer questions, and guide teams to enable meeting security goals
Writing code to (for example): prototype ideas, demonstrate proof-of-concepts, extract and analyze data and intelligence from existing data sources to inform designs & decisions

Qualifications:
Experience in design/architecture role for *aaS cloud services
Extensive experience securing large infrastructures

OCI is a better place to work:
No in-office requirement – work from wherever you care to (we do try to get together at least once a year though - DEFCON is a past example)
Actual work/life balance – your life and/or family comes first for you and we respect that
Cross team collaboration – We work together and rely on cross-team trust to succeed
Lots of smart people to work with and learn from – We attract brilliant engineers, and we all learn from one another every day
Tons of impact – Oracle’s customers are diverse, and your day-to-day decisions will directly and indirectly improve the security and stability of companies and governments worldwide
