About the role
OCI Infrastructure Delivery Engineering builds services and tools that accelerate the expansion of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's compute and network capacity, supporting the end-to-end lifecycle of data centers and physical assets. The team operates in a massive-scale, multi-tenant cloud environment focused on distributed systems and reliable cloud services. This role is for a Senior Software Development Engineer to design, build, and operate highly available, scalable services that manage physical assets throughout their lifecycle, with significant autonomy in a greenfield environment.
What you will do
- Design, implement, test, deploy, and operate services and tools that accelerate OCI compute and network capacity growth.
- Work with engineers and partner teams to define and deliver reliable, scalable capabilities for the physical asset lifecycle.
- Investigate issues across the stack, resolve root causes, and improve service reliability, performance, and operational readiness.
- Apply sound distributed-systems and cloud-infrastructure principles to deliver resilient production services.
- Build and maintain meaningful service telemetry, dashboards, alarms, and runbooks to support operational excellence.
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response; use operational learnings to drive durable improvements.
- Contribute to technical designs, architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering standards.
- Balance speed and quality through iterative, incremental delivery and thoughtful prioritization.
- Work independently on well-defined problems and provide technical mentorship and support to junior engineers.
- Communicate progress, risks, and technical trade-offs clearly, and help build consensus using data and sound engineering judgment.
