Sr Principal Software Developer

We are facing several engineering challenges in critical foundational data-plane services that powers the next gen OCI cloud. We need you to challenge existing engineering assumptions and boundaries, bring in your expertise in large scale, highly performant, reliable and available system engineering to take critical OCI data-planes to the next level. 

This is your opportunity to build innovative solutions for our customers from the ground up. These are exciting times and our team is still new and growing fast, working on ambitious new initiatives such as providing canonical implementation of core components for data planes through a data-plane runtime framework, developing a remote persistent storage solution with the latency and performance comparable to that of a local nVME drive or developing standard and tooling to identify critical performance improvements across OCI data-planes..

We are looking for self-motivated engineers with passion and expertise in 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, high scale data-planes. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.

With your superb technical, research and analytical capabilities and demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively to delight our customers, you will envision, collaborate with executives for investment and drive the software design and development for new major data-plane components of Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure.
