OCI is expanding rapidly across existing and new regions. The Next Generation Networking organization is investing in systems that reduce customer impact minutes while enabling operational scale with flat or sub‑linear headcount growth in Network Engineering and Operations.

In this high-impact role, you will work on the design & architecture for a unified global intelligence and control layer, fusing real‑time observability with near‑term traffic prediction to enable a closed‑loop Observe–Predict–Decide–Act model. You will combine networking and distributed‑systems expertise with automation, algorithms, and applied AI/ML to build resilient, highly available services at hyper scale. You will collaborate closely with Network Engineering, Network Automation and Monitoring, OCI Resilience and Reliability to deliver end‑to‑end capabilities that improve OCI reliability and customer experience.

• Design, implement, and operate distributed control‑plane and observability software for data center and WAN network orchestration.
• Develop algorithms for route computation, congestion management, fault isolation, traffic steering, and recovery.
• Build systems that correlate real‑time network and infrastructure signals, identify customer impact, and trigger safe automated responses.
• Design and Build scalable, fault‑tolerant, secure, and highly available services that operate reliably at OCI scale.
• Drive complex incident analysis and resolution across distributed systems and real‑time network state.
• Maintain clear technical documentation for architecture, implementation, operational procedures, and system evolution.
• Collaborate closely with cloud platform teams, including compute, networking, search, and storage.
• Contribute to a fast‑growing, early‑stage team, helping shape direction and execute on ambitious new initiatives.

• 5+ years of experience in distributed cloud engineering, building software in production development environments.
• Strong networking fundamentals, applying L2/L3, TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, switching, and network security to build network controller.
• Hands‑on development experience in Java, Go, or Rust, including service‑oriented architectures and secure web services.
• Strong experience with distributed systems, fault tolerance, algorithms, system reliability, and real‑time state management.
• Experience applying machine learning or AI frameworks and techniques to operational or network intelligence problems is a plus.
• Proven cross‑team collaboration, working with multiple cloud platform teams to meet shared and interdependent requirements.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with comfort operating in a collaborative, agile engineering environment.
