Senior Oracle Platform Architect (part-time consulting)

N-iX is looking for an Oracle Platform Architect to join a strategic initiative focused on evaluating whether the Service Provider (SP) model can be supported within the Oracle ecosystem — without automatically extending the current PAH licensing footprint. This role requires deep expertise in Oracle enterprise architecture and cloud deployment models to assess Oracle-native strategic and architectural options.

Role Purpose

The architect will lead an assessment of Oracle-based alternatives and deployment scenarios, with a focus on licensing, operations, and architectural constraints. The goal is to determine whether the SP model can be supported efficiently within Oracle while minimizing footprint expansion.

Key Questions to Address

• OCI-based alternatives

• Oracle cloud deployment models

• Oracle service-provider scenarios

• Dedicated Oracle environments

• Smaller Oracle footprints

• Oracle-to-Oracle integration patterns

• Data separation strategies

• Implications for licensing, operations, HA/DR and support

Required Expertise

• Oracle Enterprise Architecture

• OCI database services

• Oracle cloud deployment models

• Oracle HA/DR architectures

• Data Guard / replication

• Large-scale Oracle environments

• Multi-instance and multi-database architectures

• Oracle platform modernization

Expected Deliverables / Outcomes

• Assess Oracle-based options

• Determine whether Oracle footprint can be reduced or isolated

• Evaluate Oracle deployment alternatives

• Identify architectural constraints and risks
