Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure
About The Position
The Senior Software Engineer will develop and operate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Workflow, a Tier 0 service that enables OCI services to execute distributed, multi-step work in a fault-tolerant manner. The engineer will build features that improve platform resilience and efficiency, contribute to the launch of a new V2 version, and support the service’s operational excellence as OCI scales. The role involves designing, implementing, testing, and optimizing distributed-system components for scalability, reliability, correctness, and availability. It includes using distributed state-management and data-plane platforms for large-scale retrieval, storage, and processing; building redundancy, replication, failover, retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts; and creating tests, alarms, dashboards, telemetry, runbooks, and automation to detect, troubleshoot, and recover from issues. The engineer also supports incident response and root-cause investigations, applies security controls and remediation, maintains infrastructure automation, follows change-management practices, and collaborates across teams. The role is an IC3 individual-contributor position.
