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 is extremely flexible, allowing it to support a wide variety of use cases. OCI Functions is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for Oracle SaaS workloads, backs the API Gateway for serving customer applications, as well as supporting Data Science processing use cases.

The Positions

Senior Software Engineer

We are seeking engineers with varying levels of experience to join our expanding team. Entry-level engineers should have a passion for learning, while experienced engineers will bring diverse skills in programming, networking, storage, internet protocols, and operating systems. All levels can have significant technical and business impact.

As part of our diverse and skilled teams, you will have the opportunity to solve and design solutions for challenging problems in distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, and highly available services.

The Responsibilities

On a typical day, you will work as part of a small, focused, agile team, engaging in activities such as:

• Writing backend code in Java, Python, Go, or other modern programming languages.
• Working with containerization and virtualization technologies like Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes.
• Deploying and operating software in data centers worldwide.
• Analyzing, diagnosing, and debugging issues across our stack.
• Maintaining and improving existing systems, focusing on performance and operational efficiency.
• Building tooling and automation to scale operations.

You may also:

• Discuss technical solutions within the Oracle community and beyond.
• Design and implement new features or services for our customers.

All engineers participate in operating and supporting the product in production, including a 12x7 on-call PagerDuty rotation, typically every 5-7 weeks depending on team size.
