OCI is expanding its mission beyond the traditional boundaries of public cloud to include dedicated, hybrid and multi cloud, edge computing, and more.

In the Technical Strategy and Oversight (TSO) organization, our mission is to support customer choice, transparency, and value when it comes to cloud infrastructure.

We are looking for engineers to join an incubation team that initiates, prototypes and hands off new projects that have broad business impact in OCI. We are currently engaged in a long-term incubation of a new platform designed to power OCI services. This platform will include low-level execution runtimes, application management, and high-level workflows for change management. Our mission is to enable OCI developers to focus on building innovative services, while we ensure those services operate efficiently at cloud scale. We need you to challenge existing engineering assumptions and boundaries, bring your expertise in highly performant, reliable software engineering and help us bring OCI to the next level.

These are exciting times, and our team is still new and growing. This is your opportunity to build ambitious new initiatives with broad impact. We are seeking self-motivated engineers who are passionate about solving complex software challenges, and able to dive deep into systems to understand and improve them. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.
