Lead Principal Software Engineer

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers mission-critical cloud services to enterprises worldwide. The Physical Networking Automation and Tooling team builds and operates the software platforms that enable Network Engineers to manage OCI’s global physical network through automation, observability, and actionable insights.

We are building intelligent network automation platforms that combine network telemetry, topology, device state, operational workflows, and AI/ML to automate work across the network lifecycle. You will set the technical direction for AI agents that analyze network context, interact with approved tools, and execute controlled workflows with appropriate human oversight. You will define how these capabilities integrate into reliable, scalable software platforms that support production network operations.

As a Lead Principal Software Engineer, you will own architecture and technical direction for these platforms, aligning engineering teams and driving complex initiatives from concept through production. You will remain hands-on in critical design and implementation, establish engineering standards for reliability and safe automation, and mentor engineers and technical leaders. Working closely with engineering and network operations leaders, you will shape how OCI operates its physical network as it grows.
