Job description

Role Overview

Join Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s Compute team to design, build, and scale the next generation of bare-metal provisioning systems powering millions of servers worldwide. As a senior engineer, you will develop highly reliable and secure infrastructure, tackle complex distributed systems challenges, and help deliver the foundation for OCI’s most performant compute services.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building the next generation of cloud services to support the world’s most demanding workloads. The Compute team is responsible for delivering bare-metal provisioning infrastructure that powers millions of servers and forms the foundation of OCI’s rapidly expanding AI infrastructure. The Compute Bare Metal Provisioning team owns the critical infrastructure responsible for automating the full server lifecycle from new platform shape (AMD/Intel/Arm/Nvidia) creation, hardware bring‑up to customer‑ready instance provisioning and firmware management.

The services operate at the intersection of bare metal hardware and full‑stack orchestration frameworks, a unique combination where both distributed systems engineers and engineers with a background in Linux and firmware are highly valued. The team interfaces directly with components like BMCs, NICs, SmartNICs, ILOMs, GPUs, and custom firmware stacks. The team builds high‑performance, scalable micro‑services and tooling that provision, configure, secure, and validate server platforms across OCI’s massive fleet of Compute and GPU Infrastructure. You will partner closely across other teams in Compute, Networking, Security, Data Center Engineering, and Hardware Development to ensure OCI can launch, scale, and maintain new server platforms with minimal operational overhead and high reliability. You will work directly with cutting‑edge GPU hardware and see the direct impact of your work on the business.

You are the builder here. You will be part of a team of really smart, motivated, and diverse people and given the autonomy and support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged.

If you are interested in building large‑scale distributed infrastructure for the cloud, want to work on cutting‑edge GPU infrastructure and the latest Compute systems, have a knack for distributed systems and/or Linux development with systems experience, then this is your team! Oracle is aggressively investing in the Oracle Cloud to provide the broadest, most comprehensive cloud in the industry.
