Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure organization is building new Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies that operate at high scale in a broadly distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with best-in-class compute, storage, networking, database, security, and an ever-expanding set of foundational cloud-based services.

As an engineer on this new team, you will be involved in building one of the core blocks of OCI next Gen architecture. It will be a high scale, high performance, distributed platform that offers data storage, distribution and caching solutions to OCI services. It will involve working on different technologies such as Oracle DBs, MySQL, Kafka, Hibernate, JDBC, Redis, that can enable scalability and reliability.

As part of the founding team of this platform you will be involved in early design discussions, prototype development all the way through implementation and operating the platform. You will collaborate with several architects, domain experts and highly experienced engineers. Post launch, you will participate in enhancing the functionality, operational improvements as well as day-to-day operations of this stack.

We’re looking for hands-on engineers with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in distributed systems and highly available services. As a Principal Software Engineer you will lead the software design and development for major components of this platform. You should be both a rock solid coder and a distributed systems generalist , able to dive deep into any part of the stack and low level systems as well as design broad distributed system interactions. You should have experience operating large cloud services and have good familiarity with operational tools. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.
