Principal Member Technical Staff

Job Description

Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure team is building services 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.

We’re looking for hands‑on engineers with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in distributed systems and highly available services. If this is you, at Oracle you can design and build innovative new systems from the ground up. These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives.

An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact.

As a Principal Member of Technical Staff you will lead the software design and development for major components of Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure. You should be both a rock solid coder and a lead level engineer, able to dive deep into any part of the stack and low level systems, as well as design broad distributed system interactions. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.

About You

You work backward, starting from the user. You care about creating usable, useful software that solves real problems and brings delight to users.

You have solid communication skills. You can clearly explain complex technical concepts.

You work well with non‑engineers. You can lead a conversation in a room with designers, engineers, and product managers.

You are comfortable with ambiguity. You have a strong sense of ownership, and are able to drive development of new projects and features to completion.

You are comfortable working at all levels of the stack.

This position is expected to be onsite full time in Nashville, TN. This is not a remote position.
