Job description

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is building the next generation of cloud infrastructure for a globally distributed, multi-tenant environment.

The OCI Virtual Networking Dataplane team develops and operates the high-performance packet-processing platform behind critical services such as internet gateways, NAT gateways, and dynamic routing gateways. Our systems connect customer resources to Oracle Cloud services and external networks while meeting demanding requirements for availability, performance, security, and scale.

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will independently design and deliver major dataplane features in C and C++. You will work across packet processing, routing, network address translation, network gateways, security policy enforcement, distributed configuration, testing, deployment, and production operations.

You will own features throughout their lifecycle, from design and implementation through testing, rollout, observability, and operational support. You will troubleshoot complex Linux and networking problems, participate in the production on-call rotation, and improve the tools and automation used to operate OCI’s virtual networking infrastructure.

This is a hands‑on senior software development role for someone who enjoys systems programming, understands how software behaves in production, values simplicity and scale, and wants to solve challenging networking problems in a collaborative environment.
