About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Senior Platform Software Engineer to join its PKI team, which builds and operates cloud-scale Public Key Infrastructure services. The role involves designing, developing, testing, and delivering secure, highly available, scalable software for managing certificates, cryptographic keys, and trust infrastructure across OCI. The engineer will work with senior engineers, security teams, and partner service teams to deliver capabilities, improve reliability and operational excellence, and evolve OCI's security platform.

The position focuses on distributed systems, cloud security, and applied cryptography. The engineer will own and evolve a platform component or service, define APIs and service contracts, drive technical designs from concept through production, and contribute to secure, multi-tenant infrastructure. The role also includes production troubleshooting, operational activities, collaboration across OCI, and mentoring and promoting engineering best practices.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals.
• Experience building distributed systems.
• Interest in applied cryptography and cloud security.
• Experience with object-oriented programming languages such as Java, C++, C#, or similar.
• Knowledge of distributed systems, operating systems, algorithms, and data structures.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and operate highly available, secure, scalable distributed services for OCI's 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, and drive technical design discussions from concept through production deployment.
• Lead feature design reviews, technical documentation, and implementation planning 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.
• Develop resilient cloud services through fault tolerance, observability, performance optimization, capacity planning, and automated recovery mechanisms.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues through debugging, root cause analysis, and compatibility-safe remediation plans.
• Improve platform reliability using 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 across OCI 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.
• 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 standards, comprehensive testing, and high-quality technical documentation.
• Perform maintenance activities, including security updates, vulnerability remediation, certificate lifecycle operations, and platform upgrades with minimal customer impact.
• Manage technical deliverables independently, prioritize competing work, identify risks early, and collaborate across teams to deliver solutions on schedule.
• Continuously improve engineering processes, development workflows, and automation.
