Level: strong senior/principal

Build the systems that help Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) run faster, more reliably, and more efficiently.

Top skills we’re looking for:

• Large-scale distributed systems: Experience designing, delivering, and operating resilient services.
• System-level testing and automation: Experience validating performance and reliability and automating repeatable operations.
• Cloud platforms: Hands-on experience with OCI, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud services from the ground up. We are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives.

You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, diverse people, and given the autonomy as well as support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged.

What you’ll do

• Design scalable, highly available services for demanding workloads.
• Find performance bottlenecks and turn measurements into improvements.
• Build load and fault-injection tests, observability, and tools that help teams meet reliability goals.
• Diagnose production issues and improve safe deployment, patching, and recovery.
• Partner with teams across OCI and mentor engineers through design and operational work.

What you bring

• Software development experience: 11+ years , or 7+ years with a relevant bachelor’s degree , 5+ years with a relevant master’s degree , or 3+ years with a relevant doctorate .
