Principal Software Engineer

Oracle•Austin, TX

About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building the next generation of AI native engineering systems powering cloud operations, infrastructure automation, and developer productivity at scale. We are looking for a Principal Software Development Engineer (IC4) who operates as an AI native builder. This is not a traditional software engineering role centered on manual coding. Engineers on this team use AI assisted development, coding agents, and automation first workflows as the default mode of software creation. This role focuses on rapidly building intelligent systems, internal platforms, operational tooling, and cloud native services using modern AI driven engineering practices. You will work across distributed systems, automation platforms, developer experience, and operational intelligence to dramatically improve engineering velocity, reliability, and scale. Engineers on this team are expected to deeply integrate LLMs, coding copilots, agentic IDEs, and AI orchestration workflows into their daily development process. Success in this role is measured not only by code written, but by the ability to effectively leverage AI systems to accelerate delivery, automate repetitive engineering work, and solve high impact operational problems.
