Why we read it this way (7)
The role is a pre-sales/solution engineering hybrid — it combines hands-on infrastructure and automation work (Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, GPU/HPC cluster deployment) with customer-facing consulting. SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen because the primary day-to-day work is building and deploying automated infrastructure solutions; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the heavy consultative and architecture-advisory component.
No specific location is stated in the posting; the compensation range is described as US-wide. The role is not advertised as remote.
The required skills section lists 'scripting and automation using tools like Python, Ansible, Terraform, and/or Kubernetes' as a single compound requirement. These have been split into individual skills since they are distinct tools, all gated by the requirements section. The 'or' phrasing indicates any one satisfies the requirement, but all are named and commonly expected together in this type of role — they are captured individually as must-have.
Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) is required by the qualifications section; AWS is listed as the primary with the others as named alternatives.
The preferred qualifications section lists a programming language (Python, Rust, Go, Java, Scala), DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Prometheus), and strong HPC/GPU experience. Python already appears as a required skill; Rust is listed as the preferred-section representative with Go, Java, and Scala as alternatives. HPC and GPU computing are listed as required based on the main qualifications block ('designing and/or deploying infrastructure and high-performance computing (including GPU technology)'); the preferred section adds 'strong experience' as a further signal but does not change the gate.
Career Level IC4 at Oracle typically corresponds to a Senior individual contributor, consistent with the 5+ years requirement and scope described.
Compensation is eligible for bonus and equity in addition to the stated base salary range.
