Compute Control Plane Architect

Oracle•United States,

About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building the next generation of hyperscale cloud services. This organization sits within the Oracle CTO Office and is focused on solving some of the industry’s most complex long-term challenges in cloud infrastructure. Operating as a forward-looking research and architecture organization, the team is responsible for defining the next generation of core cloud platforms that will power OCI’s future growth. Rather than making incremental improvements, this organization rethinks foundational architectural assumptions and drives high-impact initiatives that shape the evolution of OCI’s infrastructure at hyperscale. Architects within this organization function as highly autonomous, single-threaded technical leaders responsible for defining entirely new architectural domains, influencing engineering organizations without formal authority, and assembling cross-functional tiger teams to solve highly ambiguous platform-level challenges. This is an environment designed for engineers who embrace change, thrive in ambiguity, enjoy greenfield development, and are energized by solving some of the most challenging distributed systems problems in the cloud industry. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is seeking a Compute Control Plane Architect to define the future architecture of OCI’s Compute Control and Management Plane. This role will lead the redesign of one of OCI’s foundational cloud services to improve scalability, resiliency, performance, and operational efficiency. Working within the Chief Technical Architect Office, you will partner directly with senior engineering leadership to establish the long-term architectural direction for OCI Compute and influence the next generation of hyperscale cloud infrastructure.
