Responsibilities

Design, develop, and operate secure, highly available, scalable distributed services for OCI PKI, including certificate lifecycle management, key management, trust services, and cryptographic infrastructure.
Own and evolve a bounded platform component or service, defining APIs and service contracts for secure multi-tenant cloud deployments while maintaining backward compatibility.
Design software solutions that meet business, security, operational, and performance objectives, guiding technical design from concept through production deployment.
Lead feature design reviews, technical documentation, and implementation planning in partnership with Product Management and cross-functional engineering teams.
Build robust, maintainable, well-tested software using object-oriented programming languages such as Java, C++, C#, or similar.
Apply knowledge of distributed systems, operating systems, algorithms, and data structures to solve scalability, resiliency, and performance challenges.
Design and optimize APIs, service integrations, and platform interfaces with attention to versioning, interoperability, security, and maintainability.
Build resilient cloud services using fault tolerance, observability, performance optimization, capacity planning, and automated recovery mechanisms.
Troubleshoot complex production issues through debugging, root cause analysis, and compatibility-safe remediation across distributed service environments.
Improve platform reliability through automation, monitoring, metrics, logging, dashboards, and operational tooling.
Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, operational reviews, and postmortems, and drive improvements to availability, resiliency, and operational excellence.
Collaborate with OCI engineers to integrate PKI capabilities with cloud services and support secure communication, authentication, and trust across the platform.
Design and implement solutions using relational databases, NoSQL systems, distributed storage, and persistence technologies for scalable cloud services.
Contribute to OCI's multi-tenant cloud platform by building secure, scalable infrastructure components and improving platform architecture.
Lead code reviews, mentor peers, and promote engineering best practices, secure coding, comprehensive testing, and high-quality technical documentation.
Perform maintenance including security updates, vulnerability remediation, certificate lifecycle operations, and platform upgrades while minimizing customer impact.
Manage technical deliverables independently, prioritize competing work, identify risks early, and collaborate across teams to deliver high-quality solutions on schedule.
Continuously improve engineering processes, development workflows, and automation.
