Software Developer, Software Engineer, Cloud Engineer - Software

Job Description

Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks etc.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on‑premises infrastructure to deliver high‑performance, high‑availability, and cost‑effective infrastructure services.

Multiple compute options provide the flexibility to run the most demanding workloads and less compute‑intensive applications in a secure and highly available cloud environment.

Customers can self‑service provision virtual machines alongside bare metal servers and clusters on the same virtual cloud networks through a unified web console, APIs, CLI, or via industry‑standard tools such as Terraform and Chef. OCI's approach gives the customer choices for storage, such as industry-leading local NVMe storage or elastic network block storage.

The Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) builds the OCI service that runs our managed Kubernetes experience. It is used by various internal and external customers, and we’re actively adding features—from Kubernetes to deeper integrations with OCI and to better allow cluster management.

The team operates a 24×7 service  have a large roadmap of features to enable scenarios for new customers coming on board in the coming quarters.

We’re looking for hands‑on engineers with expertise and passion for solving difficult problems in distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, 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 a significant technical and business impact.

The ideal software engineer candidate for this team is a proficient programmer with a wide breadth of knowledge and experience, including areas such as networking, storage, internet protocols, and operating systems. We write distributed, highly available systems to build, update, and deploy Kubernetes, plus automation and tooling for testing, deployments, and other needs.

• BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience delivering and operating large‑scale, highly available distributed systems.
• 8+ years of working in large Java or Golang codebases.
• Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and distributed systems.
• Systematic problem‑solving approach, strong communication skills, a sense of ownership, and drive.
• Experience building multi‑tenant, virtualized infrastructure.
• Experience in developing or managing containerized workloads using Kubernetes. One of the following two areas will be considered a strong plus:
  • Overlay networking and container networking on Linux
  • System and service management on Linux

• Architect and design new features and systems for our customers.
• Work across teams to engineer the best system (for operations and customers) regardless of organizational boundaries or ownership.
• Independently debug, maintain, and improve existing systems, focusing especially on reducing operational burden and improving performance.
• Be a generalist who can debug issues across a wide breadth of our stack.
• Scale our systems by building tooling and automation.
• Work with partner teams outside our organization and externally with Oracle.
• Participate in an on‑call shift to help address service issues, and respond to customer support issues, and escalations.
• Partake routine or mitigating operational tasks necessary to run a globally deployed high‑availability service.

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.
