Join to apply for the Senior Member of Technical Staff (JoinOCI-SDE) role at Oracle

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 background in Linux and firmware are highly valued. The team interfaces directly with components like BMCs, NICs, Smart

NICs, 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.

As a Senior Member of Technical Staff, you will own the software design and development for major components of Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure. You should be both a rock‑solid developer, driven problem solver and a distributed systems generalist and/or Linux developer with systems experience able to dive deep, design, develop, operate, and debug any part of the stack and low‑level systems such as Linux, Docker, Java web services and Terraform, as well as design broad distributed system interactions.

You should have a tenacious attitude to improve the status quo, independently seek out problems to solve and take action to deliver results wherever needed. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.
