Job summary

Oracle Corporation in Nashville, TN, is hiring a Senior Platform Software Engineer to design and deliver reliable, secure deployment capabilities for OCI’s greenfield platform. You will shape how developers validate, release, operate, and evolve services at cloud scale, with a focus on safety and governance.

You will own end-to-end delivery from problem definition through implementation, launch, and ongoing operation, collaborating across product, security, SRE, and engineering teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a record of delivering production-quality distributed systems, platform services, or developer tools.
• Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages such as Java, Go, C++, C#, Python, or similar.
• Experience designing APIs, data models, and service architectures with attention to scalability, availability, security, and operability.
• Solid understanding of cloud-native systems, including containers, orchestration, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, or release engineering concepts.
• Demonstrated ownership: you can drive work from problem definition through design, implementation, launch, and ongoing operation.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and operate core services and APIs for a modern application deployment platform on OCI.
• Deliver resilient, scalable deployment workflows that make it easier for developers to safely ship changes across diverse environments and service architectures.
• Partner with product managers, architects, security engineers, SREs, and developer teams to turn ambiguous platform needs into clear technical designs and high-quality software.
• Build safety and reliability into the product by default: strong isolation, policy enforcement, auditability, observability, rollback and recovery paths, and thoughtful failure handling.
• Develop platform primitives that enable AI- and agent-assisted engineering workflows while maintaining appropriate controls, least-privilege access, and human oversight.
• Use operational signals and customer feedback to improve developer experience, performance, availability, and deployment success rates.
• Raise the engineering bar through code reviews, design reviews, documentation, mentoring, and pragmatic technical leadership.
