PeopleSoft Admin

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on PeopleSoft Administrator with strong Oracle DBA and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) skills to support and optimize a mission-critical PeopleSoft environment. This is a shift-based role (rotational/staggered shifts as per business requirement) and requires owning end-to-end platform stability, performance, security, and cloud infrastructure management.

Key Responsibilities

• Administer PeopleTools/PeopleSoft applications (HCM/FSCM/Campus Solutions — specify) including patching, upgrades, and configuration
• Perform Oracle DBA activities: performance tuning, backup/recovery, RMAN, Data Guard, capacity planning, and database security hardening
• Manage and optimize OCI infrastructure — compute, storage, networking, IAM, and cost governance for PeopleSoft workloads
• Handle environment refreshes, cloning, and migrations (on-prem to OCI or OCI-to-OCI)
• Design and implement high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) architectures, and conduct periodic DR drills
• Automate routine administration tasks using shell scripting, PeopleSoft Cloud Manager, and OCI CLI/APIs
• Manage integrations with third-party systems via Integration Broker, web services, and PS Query
• Lead root-cause analysis for critical incidents and drive permanent fixes, not just workarounds
• Monitor system health, troubleshoot incidents, and ensure SLA-driven uptime during assigned shift hours
• Plan and execute major version upgrades, PUM (PeopleSoft Update Manager) image application, and tools upgrades
• Collaborate with functional teams on integrations, security, and change management
• Maintain patching cadence, security compliance, and audit readiness (SOX, ISO, or client-specific standards)
• Participate in capacity planning and performance benchmarking exercises for peak load periods
• Support on-call rotation and act as escalation point during shift for production issues

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years as PeopleSoft Administrator (PeopleTools, Application Designer, PIA, Process Scheduler)
• Strong Oracle DBA expertise (Oracle 19c/21c, RMAN, Data Guard, performance tuning, database security)
• Hands-on OCI experience (provisioning, networking, IAM, cost optimization, migration)
• Experience with PeopleSoft on OCI (PeopleSoft Cloud Manager preferred)
• Experience with HA/DR design and execution for enterprise applications
• Working knowledge of Linux/Unix administration and shell scripting/automation
• Familiarity with PUM image application and major PeopleSoft upgrades
• Experience supporting integrations via Integration Broker and PS Query
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable working independently in a shift-based environment
