Platform Engineer

Join our FIS Relius Administration team as a Platform Engineer to own the Oracle-backed recordkeeping platform end to end. This role is critical in ensuring the smooth operation of databases, environments, and release pipelines into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You will serve as the trusted intermediary between development and production, managing everything from database patches and performance tuning to production support and data integration. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a key platform and make a significant impact on our operations.

Ideal candidates will have deep Oracle DBA experience, strong PL/SQL skills, and a proven track record in legacy system debugging and production support. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential to succeed in this role.

Experience Required:

7+ years

Key Responsibilities:

• Own Dev / UAT / Prod Relius environments: upgrades, environment refreshes, configuration, and capacity management.
• Manage FIS support cases end to end and coordinate with managed database services vendors and infrastructure teams.
• Keep the Relius application/web tier healthy day to day with service restarts, config changes, and deploy-related checks.
• Perform OS and Oracle DB patching in OCI across environments; manage backup/restore and refresh operations.
• Conduct performance triage and tuning for long-running queries, problem stored procedures, and batch/report run times.
• Review SQL/PL/SQL scripts written by application developers before they touch UAT or production.
• Execute scheduled releases and hotfix deployments; confirm and document deploys in Jira.
• Improve the path to production over time (repeatability, safety, auditability).
• Serve as the escalation point for Relius production issues: transaction posting problems, statement and report generation, plan/participant data anomalies, inbound/outbound file feed failures.
• Support data movement off the platform and integrations with custodians, advisors, and downstream systems.

Qualification Criteria:

• Deep, hands-on Oracle DBA experience (12c/19c era) running production databases.
• Strong PL/SQL ability to read a large legacy schema and write safe, reviewed corrective scripts against live financial data.
• A track record of debugging, then developing in, legacy systems within heavily regulated, brownfield financial environments.
• Production support temperament: methodical triage and disciplined change control.
• Strong communication: clear, proactive written updates on tickets and email, comfortable leading vendor calls.
• Effective, habitual use of AI development tools as part of daily work.
• Experience running databases in a public cloud (OCI strongly preferred; equivalent AWS/Azure DB operations experience considered).
• Effective, habitual use of AI development tools as part of daily work.
