HVR Solution Architect (High Volume Replication) - MUST BE MOD SC CLEARED - Remote and travel

Overview

We are seeking an experienced HVR Solution Architect to design and implementing a secure, scalable data integration solution to replicate a Legacy Oracle DW data feeds using HVR technology within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This role sits at the intersection of data architecture, cloud engineering, and security governance, ensuring that data can be reliably transferred from MOD source systems through the MOD gateway into a newly designed OCI landing zone. The architect will review and understand the end-to-end solution, including connectivity and storage, and will review HVR documentation of the Legacy HVR feed to Legacy SDW1. They will install and configure HVR at the target end of a new feed. Overall, the role ensures that a compliant, production-ready landing zone and HVR integration capability is established, forming a critical foundation for the transition of data feeds from a Legacy Oracle platform to Oracle OC.

Key responsibilities

• Design and deliver HVR-based data integration architecture replicating the Legacy feed for SDW1, to an SDW2 landing zone
• Produce High-Level and Low-Level Designs for HVR aspects of the solution
• Support the OCI architect to define and implement secure landing zone architecture (OCI storage, DB, networking)
• Configure and deploy HVR target agent in OCI aligned to SDW1 setup
• Analyse data volumes, frequency, retention, and life cycle requirements
• Develop cost, capacity, and volumetric forecasts (HVR licensing, storage, infrastructure)
• Lead governance and approvals (SbD, DEAB, MOD SOC) and prepare ATT evidence packs
• Support network connectivity enablement (eg, gateway changes, CRs)
• Oversee system testing of landing zone and integration components
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure integration readiness
