Mission statement

Oracle is at the forefront of the digital revolution. We are empowering nearly half a million businesses across the globe to turn untapped potential into real business value. You will help us connect the biggest enterprises of today with the tools to compete in the digital economy of tomorrow.

In Technology Software Engineering, our mission is “to enable customers to realize the significant value of Oracle technology by providing an industry leading experience through the provision of lifecycle technical expertise”.

We believe that this architecture role requires a combination of both technical and soft skills. We expect every architect to have strong all-round technical skills, and we believe that the ability to engage with people, communicate an idea and convince stakeholders is just as important as getting the technical solution right.

You will support the Oracle Account Manager for a set of industry aligned customers, covering both pre-sale and post-sale activities. You will need to build relationships, drive advocacy, educate and discover via workshops. The ultimate priority is to discover and shape workloads that can leverage Oracle Technology. The focus is on the right solution for the customer and to deliver business value.

Working with specialists across the Technology Software Engineering Group, you will need to develop the initial bill of materials, solution architecture and deployment designs for cloud solutions that deliver against the customer’s business goals and to ensure that functional and non-functional requirements, such as security, network, performance, resilience, service management are fully understood and mapped to Cloud Technology solutions.

In Oracle, you will have a high degree of responsibility and autonomy, and the rewards for your contribution include a compensation and benefits package and a continuous training program in a structured environment that are world class. We always aim to make Oracle a fun and rewarding place to work, and you will be joining hundreds of architects who are always very keen to support and help others.
