Principal Software Developer

Job Description

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team can provide you the opportunity to build and operate a suite of massive scale, integrated cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment.  OCI is committed to providing the best in cloud products that meet the needs of our customers who are tackling some of the world�������������������s biggest challenges.

Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) builds Infrastructure-as-a-Service that operates at a high scale in a broadly distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with best-in-class compute, storage, networking, database, security, and an ever-expanding set of foundational cloud-based services. These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast and working on ambitious new initiatives.

We are building a Zero Trust Network Service team at OCI and this position will focus on Public Key Infrastructure(PKI), Network Routing and Firewalls for security using key based authentication and  cloud service level authorisation. Our mission is to build and operate a set of Zero Trust Network services through a combination of network security technologies and access management (IAM) solutions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), software-defined perimeters (SDP), and cloud-based security solutions. The goal is to create a more resilient and secure network that reduces the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks, especially in today's highly dynamic and distributed computing environments.

The PKI integration with network routing using edge routers and controllers to perform a user to device to workload mapping for access end points.  These functions will generate logs, audit trails, metrics, and alerts to enable automated and manual assurance of code as well as ingress/egress traffic. The team will be responsible for the performance, scalability, and reliability of the service too. In particular, they will be responsible for ensuring that the performance of the application.  They will optimise the code to ensure low overhead and they will scale the service to handle increase in traffic and in the frequencies of application updates.

Career Level - IC4

Key Responsibilities

As a member of the software engineering division, you will apply expert to advanced knowledge of software architecture to perform software development tasks associated with developing, debugging or designing software applications or operating systems according to provided design specifications. Build enhancements within an existing software architecture and occasionally suggest improvements to the architecture.

The ideal candidate will be technically strong and productive; someone who knows how to balance speed and quality with iterative and incremental improvements. You understand operational excellence and know-how to infuse a culture of being proactive within your team. You have the ability to recommend and justify changes to new and existing products and establish consensus with data-driven approaches.

As a Principal Software Engineer with 10 to 15+ years of experience, you will be a key member of the OCI Zero Trust Network (PKI Service team), responsible for designing, developing, and operating a suite of network service which uses PKI solution to authenticate, route traffic using edge routers using network routing algorithms and security technologies. You will work closely with a team of software engineers to create a secure service. This critical PKI based network service aims to enhance security and resilience, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks in dynamic and distributed cloud environments. Your responsibilities will include:

• Design and Development: Utilise your expertise in software architecture and security principles to design, develop, and enhance the secure edge zero trust services. Implement solutions that enable automated and manual assurance of code, while ensuring optimal performance and low overhead.
• Network Integration: Leverage your understanding of Zero Trust principles, PKI, identity and access management (IAM) solutions, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and software-defined perimeters (SDP) to create a secure and robust network infrastructure.
• Security and Compliance: Apply security best practices to the entire development lifecycle, from design to deployment. Conduct through code reviews, vulnerability assessments, and recommend security improvements based on data-driven approaches.
• Cloud Infrastructure and Networking: Have a strong sense of cloud infrastructure and networking knowledge to ensure seamless integration of the zero trust services into the broader OCI environment including VPN, IPSec, DRG, VCNs and transforming corporate networ
