• Technical Excellence: Work alongside world-class engineers behind the Java language and ecosystem. Tackle challenging distributed, multi-region systems challenges, influence technical architecture, and define best-in-class engineering practices.
• Ownership & Growth: Take initiative from design through production, participate in technical leadership and mentorship, contribute to high-impact design reviews, and drive cross-team collaboration.
• Inclusive, Innovative Culture: Join a diverse team that values new ideas, supports flexible work styles, and promotes psychological safety and continuous learning—including adoption of AI-assisted engineering.
• Modern Tech Stack: Build and operate cloud-native solutions using Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and advanced observability and security practices—all in support of customer success and reliability.

• Design, deliver, and maintain secure, scalable, and highly available cloud services for Java application lifecycle management and monitoring on OCI.
• Lead and own features end-to-end: from requirements and architecture/design to implementation, testing, deployment, and production operations (on-call as needed).
• Drive service reliability, velocity, and quality with automation, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability (metrics, logs, traces), and robust incident/outage management.
• Institute and champion “security by design,” including strong authentication/authorization, secrets management, and compliance-minded development.
• Mentor peers, perform code/design reviews, and raise engineering quality through high standards and clear technical documentation.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, the Java Platform team, and partner organizations to deliver impactful, customer-centric solutions.
• Thoughtfully and securely integrate AI-assisted engineering practices to boost developer efficiency and code quality while adhering to Oracle’s security, privacy, and compliance standards.

 

Minimum Qualifications:
