Senior Software Engineer

Job Description

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team gives you the opportunity to build and operate massive‑scale, integrated cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi‑tenant environment. OCI is committed to delivering best‑in‑class cloud products for customers tackling the world’s biggest challenges.

We offer unique opportunities for hands‑on engineers passionate about solving difficult problems in distributed, highly available services and virtualized infrastructure. At every level, our engineers have significant technical and business impact, designing and building innovative systems that power our customers’ business‑critical applications.

This is a chance to rethink how load balancing, networking, compute, and storage interact—and to influence how modern applications are built.

On the Load Balancer team, you will help realize Oracle’s cloud vision. We value self‑initiated engineers who learn quickly and deliver globally distributed infrastructure services. You’ll manage challenges at scale and operate with autonomy. The role is a blend of systems engineering and automation engineering. If you’re a curious problem solver who values simplicity, is comfortable with ambiguity, and is eager to learn, you’ll be a great fit.

• Experience with L7 proxy platforms (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HA Proxy, API gateways)

• Design, build, and operate distributed, highly available load balancing services
