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 centers around the world. The Functions deployment model is extremely flexible, supporting a wide variety of use cases. OCI Functions is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for Oracle SaaS workloads, supporting the API Gateway for 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. Those starting their careers will have a passion for learning, while more experienced engineers will have diverse skills in programming, networking, storage, internet protocols, and operating systems. Engineers at any level can have a significant technical and business impact.

As part of our diverse and skilled teams, you will 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, and may:

• Write backend code in Java, Python, Go Lang, or other modern languages.
• Work with containerization and virtualization technologies such as Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes.
• Deploy and operate software in data centers 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.

Participate in the software engineering community at Oracle and beyond, discussing solutions and designing new features or services for customers. All engineers support the product in production and participate in a 12x7 on-call rotation, typically every 5-7 weeks depending on team size.
