Senior Principal Software Developer, Storage Primitives

Job Description

We are proud to have sponsored and attended Rust Con 2025. This posting is made for Rust Con 2025 attendees interested in Oracle opportunities. We face several engineering challenges in critical foundational data‑plane services that power the next generation of OCI cloud. We need you to challenge existing engineering assumptions and boundaries, bring in your expertise in highly performant, reliable, and available system engineering to take OCI data‑planes to the next level.

This is an opportunity to build innovative solutions for our customers from the ground up. Our team is young and growing fast, working on ambitious initiatives such as a data‑plane runtime framework, a remote persistent storage solution with latency and performance comparable to a local NVMe drive, and tooling to identify critical performance improvements across OCI data‑planes.

We are looking for self‑motivated engineers passionate about solving challenging system, data‑plane level and performance problems. You should be a rock‑solid developer able to dive deep into low‑level systems, design broad distributed system interactions for high performance, and work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment.

Envision, collaborate with executives for investment and drive the software design and development for new major data‑plane components of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure. Define foundations for the next generation of OCI data‑planes, making deep architectural changes. Take an active role in the definition and evolution of standard practices, specify specifications for significant new projects, and design and develop software accordingly.
