Full job description

As an L7 Proxy Platform Engineer, you will design, implement, and maintain robust and scalable Layer 7 proxy platforms to enable secure and reliable application delivery across Oracle’s cloud and enterprise environments. You will be responsible for designing proxies to support high-scale microservices architectures, implementing advanced traffic management and security policies, and driving automation for operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect, deploy, and maintain L7 proxy platforms (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy, API Gateways) across cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Design and implement traffic routing, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, authentication, and authorization mechanisms at the application layer.
  • Collaborate with security, networking, and application teams to integrate L7 security controls (WAF, DDoS mitigation, rate limiting, etc.).
  • Automate the configuration, deployment, and monitoring of proxies using infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Monitor proxy platform health, performance, and availability, responding to incidents and performance degradations promptly.
  • Evaluate new technologies and integrations to enhance platform resiliency, scalability, and security.
  • Develop and maintain documentation and runbooks for proxy platform operations and troubleshooting.
  • Provide L1/L2 support for production incidents, mentoring junior team members as needed.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude toward incident management.
  • Effective communication and documentation abilities.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with L7 proxies (NGINX, Envoy, HAProxy, etc.) in large-scale production environments.
  • Strong understanding of network protocols (HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP), application layer security, and service-to-service communication patterns.
  • Experience in automation and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.).
  • Proficient in scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.).
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP) and container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker).
  • Experience with API gateway products (Kong, Apigee, etc.) and service meshes (Istio, Linkerd) is a plus.
