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 reliability, predictability, and quality that the world’s largest companies and startups 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 demanding workloads and less compute-intensive applications in a secure, highly available cloud environment.

The Product

OCI Functions is a fully managed, multi-tenant, highly scalable, on-demand Functions-as-a-Service platform, deployed worldwide across dozens of data centres. It supports a wide variety of use cases, including Oracle SaaS workloads, API Gateway for customer applications, and Data Science processing.

The Positions

Senior Software Engineer

We are seeking engineers with varying levels of experience. Whether you are starting your career or bringing extensive skills in programming, networking, storage, internet protocols, and operating systems, you can have a significant impact.

As part of our team, you will solve and design solutions for distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, and highly available services.

The Responsibilities

On a typical day, you might:

• Write backend code in Java, Python, Go, or other modern languages.
• Work with containerization and virtualization technologies like Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes.
• Deploy and operate software in data centres worldwide.
• Analyze, diagnose, and debug issues across the 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.

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