About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on PeopleSoft Administrator with strong Oracle DBA and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) skills to support and optimize a mission-critical PeopleSoft environment. This is a shift-based role (rotational/staggered shifts as per business requirement) and requires owning end-to-end platform stability, performance, security, and cloud infrastructure management.
Key Responsibilities
- Administer PeopleTools/PeopleSoft applications (HCM/FSCM/Campus Solutions — specify) including patching, upgrades, and configuration
- Perform Oracle DBA activities: performance tuning, backup/recovery, RMAN, Data Guard, capacity planning, and database security hardening
- Manage and optimize OCI infrastructure — compute, storage, networking, IAM, and cost governance for PeopleSoft workloads
- Handle environment refreshes, cloning, and migrations (on-prem to OCI or OCI-to-OCI)
- Design and implement high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) architectures, and conduct periodic DR drills
- Automate routine administration tasks using shell scripting, PeopleSoft Cloud Manager, and OCI CLI/APIs
- Manage integrations with third-party systems via Integration Broker, web services, and PS Query
- Lead root-cause analysis for critical incidents and drive permanent fixes, not just workarounds
- Monitor system health, troubleshoot incidents, and ensure SLA-driven uptime during assigned shift hours
- Plan and execute major version upgrades, PUM (PeopleSoft Update Manager) image application, and tools upgrades
- Collaborate with functional teams on integrations, security, and change management
- Maintain patching cadence, security compliance, and audit readiness (SOX, ISO, or client-specific standards)
- Participate in capacity planning and performance benchmarking exercises for peak load periods
- Support on-call rotation and act as escalation point during shift for production issues
Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years as PeopleSoft Administrator (PeopleTools, Application Designer, PIA, Process Scheduler)
- Strong Oracle DBA expertise (Oracle 19c/21c, RMAN, Data Guard, performance tuning, database security)
- Hands-on OCI experience (provisioning, networking, IAM, cost optimization, migration)
- Experience with PeopleSoft on OCI (PeopleSoft Cloud Manager preferred)
- Experience with HA/DR design and execution for enterprise applications
- Working knowledge of Linux/Unix administration and shell scripting/automation
- Familiarity with PUM image application and major PeopleSoft upgrades
- Experience supporting integrations via Integration Broker and PS Query
- Excellent communication skills; comfortable working independently in a shift-based environment
