About this Role

We are seeking a Senior Oracle Middleware Support Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership for Oracle Fusion Middleware and integration production operations at SP Infocity, Pune.You will support business-critical Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus (OSB), Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) and Oracle WebLogic Server environments that underpin Telecom BSS, OSS and enterprise application flows.This is an Application Operations and production-support role rather than an application development role. You will combine in-depth technical troubleshooting with incident and problem management, SLA/KPI ownership, production-change readiness, automation, observability and continual service improvement.The role requires 4–7 years of relevant experience in Telecom IT, Middleware, Integration or Enterprise Application Operations, including significant hands-on responsibility for Oracle FMW production environments. There are no direct or dotted-line reports.

What you will do

Middleware technical operations

• Lead day-to-day technical operations across Oracle FMW, SOA Suite, OSB, AIA and WebLogic production environments.
• Investigate and resolve complex integration failures involving SOA composites, BPEL, Mediators, Adapters, OSB services, JMS/JDBC resources, web services, APIs and dependent BSS/OSS systems.
• Administer and support WebLogic domains, clusters, Admin and Managed Servers, data sources, JMS components, deployments, JVM health and runtime logs.
• Support AIA integration flows and frameworks, including end-to-end transaction tracing, orchestration, interface dependencies, error recovery and production diagnostics.
• Perform log, thread, heap/JVM, connection, socket, queue/backlog and performance analysis to identify platform and integration issues.

Incident, problem and service management

• Take ownership of the technical quality of root-cause analysis, corrective actions and known-error tracking, helping reduce recurring middleware incidents.
• Deliver agreed SLA/KPI commitments across Incident, Problem, Change and Service Request processes and highlight service risks early.
• Analyse MTTR, recurring incidents, failure patterns, backlog and availability trends to prioritise technical improvements.
• Support P1/P2 service restoration and coordinate technical activities across application, infrastructure, database, network, security and vendor teams.

Change, release and operational readiness

• Support production change and release readiness, implementation validation, rollback planning, pre/post checks and post-release stabilisation.
• Ensure new and changed middleware services are operationally ready through appropriate documentation, monitoring, runbooks, access, escalation paths and knowledge transfer.
• Help ensure middleware services meet availability, resilience, disaster-recovery and operational-readiness expectations.

Automation, observability and continual improvement

• Automate health checks, pre/post validations, recurring operational activities, queue and service checks, housekeeping and reporting using Shell, WLST, SQL and approved automation tooling.
• Improve monitoring and observability through dashboards, alert tuning, transaction monitoring and log/event correlation.
• Use AI/AIOps capabilities, where available, to support anomaly detection, event correlation, triage, root-cause isolation and knowledge-assisted resolution, with appropriate human review.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual operational effort and improve service reliability.

Governance and collaboration

• Participate in operational service reviews and provide concise technical updates covering service stability, SLA/KPI risks, P1/P2 actions, capacity, automation and the improvement backlog.
• Collaborate across middleware, application, database, infrastructure and vendor teams within the assigned service or market.
• Apply independent technical judgement to troubleshooting, service restoration, RCA and improvement activities, escalating significant service or strategic decisions through the appropriate service leadership.

Who you are

You have:

• 4+ years' experience in Telecom IT, Middleware, Integration or Enterprise Application Operations.
• Strong hands-on production-support experience with Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle SOA Suite, OSB, AIA and WebLogic Server.
• Experience troubleshooting SOA composites, BPEL, Mediators, Adapters, proxy and business services, pipelines, routing, transformations and service errors.
• Practical knowledge of WebLogic domains and clusters, Admin/Managed Servers, JVM, JDBC, JMS, security, deployments and performance troubleshooting.
• Experience with SOAP/REST integrations, APIs, XML, XSD, XSLT and message-based integration.
• Strong Unix/Linux troubleshooting and Shell scripting capability.
• Working knowledge of Oracle SQL/PLSQL and WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
• Experience diagnosing incidents using application and middleware logs, JVM/runtime analysis, SQL, queues and end-to-end transaction tracing.
• Experience with P1/P2 restoration, RCA, Problem Management and SLA/KPI-led production support.
• Knowledge of High Availability, resilience and Disaster Recovery in middleware environments.
• Hands-on exposure to one or more observability technologies such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Splunk, Kibana, Grafana or Zabbix.
• Experience implementing practical operational automation and improving monitoring and alert quality.
• Knowledge of ITIL-aligned Incident, Problem, Change and Service Request processes.
• The ability to collaborate effectively across application, infrastructure, database, network, security and vendor teams.
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant professional experience. ITIL Foundation is preferred.

Exposure to OCI/cloud operations, containers, Kubernetes/OKE, Oracle API Gateway, Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), Kafka, CI/CD, DevOps, SRE practices, AI/AIOps or Telecom CRM, Billing, Order Management and Provisioning ecosystems would be beneficial.
