Job Description:

Oracle’s product engineering teams are building critical services within Oracle’s next-generation public cloud infrastructure known as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These services provide the foundation for businesses around the world as well as Oracle’s Cloud (SaaS) Applications.

The Platform

With revolutionary innovations in performance, availability, ease of use and security, we designed OCI for the reliability, predictability and quality that the world’s largest companies and smartest start-ups need. We combined the elasticity and utility of 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.

The Product

OCI Functions is a fully managed, multi-tenant, highly scalable, on-demand, Functions-as-a-Service platform, deployed in dozens of commercial, government and private data centres around the world. The Functions deployment model supports a wide variety of use cases. OCI Functions is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for Oracle SaaS workloads, supports the API Gateway for serving customer applications, and Data Science processing use cases.

The Positions

Senior Software Engineer

As we expand our team, we seek engineers with varying experience levels. Beginners will have a passion for learning, while experienced engineers will have diverse skills in programming, networking, storage, internet protocols, and operating systems. All levels can make significant technical and business impacts.

As part of our diverse team, you will solve challenging problems in distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, and highly available services.

The Responsibilities

On a typical day, you will work in a small, agile team and may:

• Write backend code in Java, Python, Go, or other modern languages.
• Use containerization and virtualization technologies like Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes.
• Deploy and operate software in data-centres worldwide.
• Analyze, diagnose, and debug issues across our stack.
• Maintain and improve existing systems focusing on performance and operational efficiency.
• Build tooling and automation to scale operations.

You may also:

• Discuss technical solutions and build consensus among teams.
• Design and implement new features or services for customers.

Engineers participate in supporting the product in production and take part in a 12x7 on-call PagerDuty rotation, typically every 5-7 weeks depending on team size.
