Job summary

Oracle is seeking a senior software engineer to lead the design and evolution of core distributed systems powering hyperscale cloud infrastructure. You will define scalable, durable, and highly available components and ensure they meet stringent reliability targets.

You will optimize data paths, drive in-service updates, and implement robust testing, incident response, and security controls across multi-tenant environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7 years of professional software-engineering experience, with demonstrated impact on large-scale distributed systems or cloud infrastructure.
• Strong experience designing and operating highly available, scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented or systems programming languages, such as Java, C , C#, or Go.
• Deep understanding of distributed-systems design, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and secure software-development practices.
• Experience with system-level test automation, performance/load testing, reliability engineering, and production incident response.
• Demonstrated experience leading or influencing technical architecture and mentoring engineers.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of core distributed systems and data-plane services at hyperscale.
• Define scalability, elasticity, durability, and availability requirements for owned components and ensure designs meet them.
• Optimize high-throughput data paths for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing using distributed state, replication, and synchronization patterns.
• Design fault-tolerant systems that support in-service updates through redundancy, automatic failover, and recovery-oriented design.
• Apply sound distributed-systems tradeoffs for network partitions and reliability, including load shedding, throttling, rate limiting, retries, and timeouts.
• Establish service-level objectives, key performance indicators, telemetry, dashboards, and proactive alerting for critical systems.
• Design and lead performance, load, fault-injection, and brownout testing to validate correctness, resilience, and operational readiness.
• Lead production incident diagnosis and recovery, guide root-cause analysis, and mentor engineers in operational excellence.
• Build and improve Infrastructure as Code and operational automation that enable safe patching, updates, rollbacks, and change management.
• Apply robust security controls and remediation practices for multi-tenant cloud infrastructure, including encryption, access controls, and compliance readiness.
