Senior Platform Software Engineer

Oracle · United States

Job Description Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI, is building and operating a suite of massive-scale, highly available cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment. OCI’s mission is to provide secure, reliable, and performant cloud infrastructure for customers running some of the world’s most business-critical workloads. The OCI Exec Service team owns a foundational execution platform used by OCI lifecycle and deployment systems to run workloads such as deployment validation, canaries, build-related executions, artifact workflows, and operational automation across commercial and government regions. We are looking for a strong Senior software engineer who can design, build, and operate distributed systems in production. You will work on core components of Exec Service, including APIs, orchestration workflows, execution scheduling, Kubernetes-based execution infrastructure, service reliability, security hardening, observability, and automation. This role requires hands-on engineering depth, strong ownership, and the ability to work independently on major features while collaborating across OCI service teams. Who are we looking for? We are looking for engineers with strong distributed systems fundamentals and practical production experience. You should have experience designing major features, taking them through design review, implementation, testing, launch, and operational support. You understand how to build services that are resilient, observable, secure, and maintainable. The ideal candidate is a strong coder and a distributed systems generalist who can dive deep into service APIs, orchestration logic, Kubernetes execution environments, persistence layers, networking behavior, and production operations. You should value simplicity, correctness, automation, and operational excellence. You should be comfortable working in ambiguous technical areas, decomposing complex problems, and delivering durable solutions. What are the biggest challenges for the team? Exec Service sits on the critical path for OCI lifecycle operations, region bootstrap, deployment validation, canaries, and internal execution workflows. The team is evolving the platform to support higher scale, stronger isolation, improved security posture, better self-service debugging, and broader adoption across OCI. Key challenges include: * Scaling a high-volume execution platform that runs many short-lived workloads across regions and enclaves. * Modernize service operations using AI.
