Sr. Network Developer Engineer

As a Network Development Engineer on the Oracle Infrastructure Engineering Services (IES), Network Operations & Reliability Engineering team, your priorities include completing change requests, fulfilling service requests, incident response, and problem management.  This role is also responsible for creating tools that facilitate change validation, verify service health, and expose performance metrics.  This role will work closely to develop and support solutions for Oracle’s SaaS customers including supporting their private VPN connections.  Because our team is globally distributed, on-call shift coverage is generally specific to one shift/region, but we do ask for flexibility as occasional urgent needs arise especially in the support of US Government customers.
