Job description

Location: Nashville, TN — onsite 5 days/week. Relocation assistance is available; this is not a remote position.

The OCI Limits Team owns the foundational platform that manages service limits, quotas, and capacity governance across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The team enables customers and internal OCI services to scale reliably and securely by providing automated limit management, quota enforcement, and high-scale control plane integrations. We work closely with service teams across OCI to support rapid cloud growth, operational stability, and enterprise-grade resource governance. The organization operates highly distributed, mission-critical systems that directly impact customer onboarding, expansion, and cloud consumption experiences.

Designs, implements, and optimizes components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Delivers features and load/performance tests; leverages data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing; and reviews peers’ implementations for scalability compliance. Builds fault‑tolerant paths (redundancy, replication, automatic failover), applies recovery‑oriented principles, and implements retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Proactively detects and mitigates issues via tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks and participates in incident response and RCAs. Implements standard replication and synchronization, develops automation/IaC for troubleshooting and maintenance, and applies advanced security controls (encryption, access, remediation) while ensuring change, compliance, and documentation standards are met.
