About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s SPLAT team builds and operates critical platform services in a distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment. These services provide secure API routing, service registration, traffic management, private connectivity, authentication, and operational controls. SPLAT is in the request path for more than 300 OCI control planes and processes hundreds of billions of API requests each month. Its engineering work spans high-throughput Java services, distributed systems, networking, security, observability, deployment automation, and production operations. The role is for a Software Engineer 2 who will contribute to existing services by writing production code and tests, investigating defects, and learning how cloud services are deployed and operated. The position does not require prior expertise in distributed-system architecture or system design. The engineer is expected to take ownership of well-defined problems, ask questions, apply feedback, and grow in independence with support from experienced engineers.
