Collaborate deeply with teams across OCI to deliver impactful, cohesive tools and workflows.

Document and communicate technical designs, promoting shared understanding and technical clarity.

Drive and advocate for simplicity as a core engineering value-recognizing that making things simple is often the hardest and most valuable work.

What We're Looking For

5+ years in software engineering, with deep hands-on experience in CI/CD, DevOps, or infrastructure.

Track record of simplifying complex systems and building highly reliable, scalable, low-maintenance services.

Expert level in at least one systems language (Go, Python, Java, or similar) and strong distributed systems knowledge.

Significant experience designing and operating large cloud platforms (OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP).

Hands-on expertise with containers, orchestration, and infrastructure as code.

Proven mentor and technical leader among peers; strong communicator and collaborator.

Deeply invested in system quality, simplicity, and developer experience.

Why Oracle Cloud?

Define how enterprise cloud gets built. Solve global-scale complexity. Grow as a leader by championing clarity and elegant engineering and leave your mark on a platform used by thousands of developers daily.
