Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure

** Job Description*
* At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), we build the future of the cloud for enterprises. We combine the pace and ownership of a start-up with the scale, reliability, and customer focus required to run one of the world's leading enterprise cloud platforms.

** Responsibilities*
* + Design and implement control-plane services and APIs for DNS zones, records, views, policies, and routing configuration.

+ Build reliable workflows for validation, change orchestration, propagation, reconciliation, andlifecycle management across distributed DNS infrastructure.

+ Develop production services and libraries primarily in Java, with supporting automation in Python where needed, and a strong focus on API design and correctness.

+ Use AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic workflows to accelerate implementation, testing, incident investigation, and operational automation, with appropriate human review, security, and quality controls.

+ Improve safety and operational resilience through idempotent workflows, optimistic concurrency, audit-ability, rollback paths, canary releases, and feature flags.

+ Own observability and operational readiness: metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs, run-books, capacity planning, and thoughtful on-call participation.

+ Partner with DNS data plane, security, networking, and SRE teams to deliver secure, end-to-end platform improvements.

+ Contribute technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and mentoring of other engineers.

*
* Required Qualifications:

*
* + 6-8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and operating resilient production services.

+ 4+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade distributed systems, cloud services, and/or control-plane platforms.

+ Strong proficiency in Java, including production service development, concurrent programming, and performance troubleshooting.

+ Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to improve design, code generation, testing, troubleshooting, and process automation while maintaining strong engineering judgment.

+ Strong API design skills, including RESTful service design and OpenAPI/Swagger or comparable API contracts.

+ Experience designing reliable stateful workflows, including asynchronous processing, retries, idempotency, concurrency control, and failure recovery.

+ Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and highly available distributed systems.

+

Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

*
* Preferred Qualifications:

*
* + DNS expertise, including authoritative DNS, zone and record management, DNS delegation, TTLs, DNSSEC, and DNS change propagation.

+

Experience with cloud control planes, resource lifecycle management, or multi-tenant platform APIs.

+ Knowledge of internet protocols and security standards, including DNS, TLS, HTTP, and REST.

+

Experience with relational or distributed data stores and schema evolution for highly available services.

+ Familiarity with modern CI/CD platforms such as OCI Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, or Git Lab CI/CD, and engineering productivity tools including Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence.

+ Experience operating mission-critical services in a 24/7 environment.

** What Success Looks Like:*
* + You deliver control-plane capabilities that make DNS changes safer, faster, and easier for customers and internal operators.

+ You improve the reliability, auditability, and operability of DNS configuration workflows at scale.

+ You raise engineering standards through pragmatic design, rigorous testing, and collaborative technical leadership.
