Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer - OCI Product Catalog (Nashville-TN)

Oracle•Nashville, TN

2d•Onsite

About The Position

The OCI Product Catalog team builds platform services to define and manage OCI products and their metadata, including integrations with SKUs, metering, limits, product availability, and lifecycle management. The team is building a centralized product model and automation platform that helps OCI service teams onboard, deploy, and manage products consistently across cloud environments while providing centralized control over product availability. This is a hands-on engineering role for a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer (IC3), spanning distributed backend services, APIs, automation, and web-based operator experiences. The engineer owns features end to end, from technical design and implementation through testing, deployment, observability, and production operations. The role designs, implements, and optimizes distributed-system components with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability; delivers features and load/performance tests; and reviews implementations for scalability compliance. The position builds fault-tolerant systems using redundancy, replication, automatic failover, retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. It proactively detects and mitigates issues through tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks; and participates in incident response and root-cause investigations. The engineer also develops replication and synchronization mechanisms, automation and infrastructure-as-code tools for troubleshooting and maintenance, and security controls while meeting change-management, compliance, and documentation standards. The position is based onsite in Nashville, Tennessee, five days per week. It is not remote; relocation assistance is available.
