Senior Platform Software Engineer

Oracle•Nashville, TN

52d•$92,500 - $209,500

About The Position

Software Ecosystem Management (SEM) is a new OCI initiative being built from the ground up to create a trusted view of Oracle’s software ecosystem. SEM processes large volumes of software metadata from multiple upstream systems, normalizes it into a consistent model, and helps teams understand ownership, lifecycle state, and dependency relationships across services. This role is for an engineer who wants to work on a v1 platform with real scale, real ambiguity, and real impact. The work requires building reliable, scalable services that can grow with Oracle’s software estate and support teams across OCI. This is a chance to influence the foundation of a new system, not just extend an existing one. The team values engineers who take ownership, move quickly, and build durable solutions in a complex enterprise environment.

Comfort working in a large enterprise environment with ambiguous, evolving requirements

Responsibilities

Own the design, implementation, and operation of well-defined components within the SEM platform.
Build scalable backend services, APIs, and data-processing workflows for software metadata from multiple upstream systems.
Translate evolving requirements into simple, maintainable designs while making sound trade-offs between delivery speed and long-term durability.
Develop data models and normalization logic that support ownership, lifecycle, and dependency analysis across OCI services.
Debug issues across service and data boundaries, identify root causes, and deliver reliable fixes.
Improve service reliability, performance, and scalability through testing, observability, automation, and capacity planning.
Participate in design reviews and code reviews, and contribute to engineering standards for a new platform.
Work closely with product, architecture, and partner teams to define contracts, resolve integration issues, and deliver end-to-end capabilities.
