About this Role

We are seeking an experienced Oracle Middleware SME to provide subject-matter expertise and end-to-end operational ownership of Oracle Middleware, Integration and Enterprise Content Management services from SP Infocity, Pune.

You will be responsible for the reliability, availability, performance and operational resilience of Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Oracle WebLogic and Oracle WebCenter Content (WCC) platforms supporting critical telecom BSS, OSS and enterprise applications.

This role combines hands-on middleware expertise with production-service ownership, major incident recovery, service transition, platform stabilisation, operational governance, automation and continual service improvement. It is primarily focused on Application Operations, Middleware Operations and Service Management rather than application development.

You will also contribute to Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and AI-driven operational optimisation while working across business, application, infrastructure, database, network and vendor teams.

What you will do

Middleware and integration operations

Own the operational health, availability, performance, resilience and supportability of Oracle SOA Suite, OSB, WebLogic and WCC platforms.
Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex middleware, integration, service orchestration and content-management incidents.
Govern business-critical integration flows, messaging frameworks, service orchestration processes and enterprise content services.
Drive capacity planning, performance optimisation and technology lifecycle management.
Maintain service-level commitments across middleware and integration platforms.

Incident, problem and service management

Lead P1/P2 incident recovery and coordinate troubleshooting across application, infrastructure, database and network teams.
Drive root-cause analysis, corrective actions, known-error management and the reduction of recurring incidents.
Maintain SLA and KPI performance across Incident, Problem, Change, Service Request and operational-risk processes.
Establish proactive support practices to improve operational resilience and reduce downtime.
Lead post-incident reviews and continual improvement activities.

Service transition and operational readiness

Lead due diligence, knowledge acquisition, service transition and operational takeover activities.
Conduct shadow, reverse-shadow and knowledge-transfer sessions.
Establish operational readiness across documentation, monitoring, runbooks, access management, escalation paths, capacity planning, security controls and disaster recovery.
Own early-life support and stabilisation for transitioned services.

Integration assurance and platform governance

Maintain the operational reliability of APIs, interfaces, web services, message flows and enterprise integrations.
Monitor integration transactions and service-orchestration health across enterprise applications.
Drive reconciliation and validation across upstream and downstream systems.
Identify performance degradation, bottlenecks and service failures and coordinate appropriate remediation.
Govern middleware-estate security, compliance and audit requirements.

Middleware platform administration and support

Manage Oracle WebLogic domains, clusters, managed servers and application deployments.
Support Oracle SOA composites, BPEL processes, Mediators, Adapters and OSB services.
Administer Oracle WCC repositories, content workflows, storage utilisation and service availability.
Perform environment validation, deployment verification and patch-coordination activities.
Drive middleware performance tuning and service optimisation.

Automation, observability and continual improvement

Automate health checks, service validation, deployment verification, housekeeping and operational reporting using Shell Scripting, WLST, SQL and relevant automation tools.
Develop proactive monitoring, dashboards and alerting using enterprise observability platforms.
Apply automation, SRE practices and AI-driven operational insights to improve efficiency.
Use operational trends to reduce Mean Time To Restore (MTTR), recurring incidents and manual operational effort.
Improve monitoring coverage, alert thresholds and proactive issue detection.
