Oracle Fusion Applications (FA)

Oracle Fusion Applications ( is Oracles leading SaaS offering of critical business applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Human Capital Management (HCM) Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and many more. Our enterprise grade application suite serves as one of the focal points of Oracles business value and is used and trusted by large enterprise customers across the globe. Whilst Fusion Applications has been a huge success the basic architecture is still based on a monolithic on-premise Fusion Middleware stack that has not changed since its inception. Solving this problem is our challenge.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

OCI ( is the worlds leading enterprise-class cloud platform. We build and operate cloud services at scale and are committed to providing the best cloud products that meet the needs of our customers who are tackling some of the worlds biggest challenges. These services provide the foundation for businesses of all sizes around the world as well as Oracles Cloud (SaaS) Applications. With revolutionary innovations in performance availability ease of use and security we designed OCI for the reliability predictability and quality that the worlds largest companies and smartest start-ups need combining the elasticity and utility of a public cloud with the granular control security and predictability of on-premises infrastructure. As a result our customers can run the most demanding workloads as well as less compute-intensive applications in a secure and highly available cloud environment.

Fusion Apps Technical Architecture

We are the FA Technical Architecture team have been tasked with defining the next generation architecture - codename Spectra - for Fusion Applications based on cloud native principles and running on OCI. The migration from monolith to a modern cloud-based micro-service architecture opens new avenues to work with a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies and OCI services. It will also mean instituting better processes and practices as we transform to software as a service development model that includes following industry standard developer workflows CICD pipelines safe deployment practices cloud based automated testing DevOps culture etc.

For this new Spectra architecture team were looking for talented software engineers across at various grades to join us and build out the frameworks and services for Health Monitoring and Chaos Engineering. As you can imagine these services will be critical parts of hundreds of other services helping to improve the resiliency of the services and help service owners to maintain their SLOs. This is a startup team and comes with a service ownership role that is hands-on with lots of opportunity for large contributions and impact across the organization. At this stage were looking for highly passionate engineers with varying levels of experience and areas of expertise to join the team. As with most service teams there will eventually be a periodic on call rotation as part of this role. Our developer kitchen includes: Java REST Docker Kubernetes µservice Grafana and much more.

A unique opportunity to be part of a team tasked with re-architecting Oracles Fusion (SaaS) Applications; to design build and operate foundational cloud-based services on which the next generation of SaaS applications will be built and to learn to be a world-class cloud software engineer right in the heart of Bristol UK.
