Sr. Principal Software Development Engineer – OCI Security Platform

• Define specifications and architectural designs for new projects, ensuring alignment with OCI’s security vision and cloud‑scale standards.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑quality, scalable, and maintainable solutions, ensuring tight integration with other Oracle services such as Database, Storage Services, SaaS, and other OCI offerings.
• Drive end‑to‑end project execution, from technical requirements and prototyping to implementation and production rollout.
• Champion engineering best practices, innovation, and continuous improvement across the team—challenging assumptions and driving architectural excellence.
• Facilitate and oversee real‑world operational readiness, going beyond simple API integration to ensure full lifecycle management and secure deployment at scale.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience in software architecture and design for cryptographic services.
• Strong background in distributed systems, high‑performance computing, and secure systems engineering.
• Proven leadership skills in guiding engineering teams and driving technical vision.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
