As an engineer for “Data Safe” cloud service, you will solve interesting technical challenges by defining, designing, deploying, patching, and troubleshooting, to ensure service reliability, scalability, resilience, security, compliance, performance, and availability.
What You'll Do
As a member of the software engineering division, you will take an active role in the definition and evolution of standard practices and procedures. You will be responsible for defining and developing software for tasks associated with the developing, designing and debugging of software applications or operating systems.
Service Ownership – You will be part of the engineering team, whose mission is the shared full stack ownership of a collection of services and/or technology areas. You will be a member of a team that will understand the end-to-end configuration, technical dependencies, and overall behavioral characteristics of the production services, monitoring, diagnosability, incident management, etc. In partnership with your development teams, you and your team will have the responsibility to ensure that services are designed and delivered to be mission critical with focus on security, resiliency, scale, and performance.
Service Design – As the Oracle Cloud evolves; you will partner with other team members in defining and implementing improvements in service architecture, both current and future.
