Solution Architect A-team

Interested in making a direct impact on customer success while simultaneously working within engineering to help improve products?

The Oracle A-Team are part of Oracle Cloud Product Development Group helping Oracle's top customers and helping Oracle's Engineering teams with solution architecture. The role is technical and hands-on in nature. It involves contributing to and leading multidisciplinary projects focused on architecting, designing, and prototyping complex cloud solutions that involve Oracle Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

**Role Description**

As a Cloud Solution Architect in the A-Team, you will have exposure to and involvement with many Oracle products and Oracle Teams. You will engage in a variety of customer facing activities such as collaborating with sales teams to win deals, architecting cross-cloud solutions, building POCs and demo’s, advising customers, and resolving complex technical issues affecting customers. You will be working in a global team and will typically be involved in multiple engagements at the same time providing you a rapid exposure to varied customer landscape. Many of these engagements will be of high-visibility and high-strategic value, requiring A-Team involvement due to the complexity of the required solution, and early stage nature of the products involved. You will be required to code and will be required to partner with customers, SIs, support, and engineering. You will also be required to capture best practices and create collateral such as whitepapers, blogs/vlogs and code assets.

In conjunction with the above, you will work closely with engineering and product management teams, bringing typical customer challenges from the field for discussion and highlight evolving market trends that products need to address. Since you will deal with cutting edge products, often in their beta or early releases, you will be required to collaborate with engineering on a regular basis providing constant feedback. You will inherit the reputation of a highly respected team and engineering will treat you as one of their key conduits to customers and partners. At times you will also be required to code for special internal projects.

You will also be able to directly engage in producing business insights to senior leadership with the intent of informing and guiding strategy and operational procedures.
