Oracle’s product engineering teams are building critical services within Oracle’s next-generation public cloud infrastructure known as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These services provide the foundation for businesses around the world as well as Oracle’s Cloud (SaaS) Applications.
The Platform
With revolutionary innovations in performance, availability, ease of use and security, we designed OCI for the reliability, predictability and quality that the world’s largest companies and smartest start-ups need. We combined the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure. As a result, our customers can run the most demanding workloads, as well as less compute-intensive applications, in a secure and highly available cloud environment.
The Product
OCI Functions is a fully managed, multi-tenant, highly scalable, on-demand, Functions-as-a-Service platform, deployed in dozens of commercial, government and private data centres around the world. The Functions deployment model is extremely flexible, allowing it to support a wide variety of use cases. OCI Functions is rapidly becoming the platform of choice for Oracle SaaS workloads, backs the API Gateway for serving customer applications, as well as supporting Data Science processing use cases.
The Positions
Senior Software Engineer
As we expand and grow our team, we are seeking engineers with varying levels of experience. Those who are starting their career with us will have a hunger and passion for learning. Those who join us with more experience will have diverse skills across programming, networking, storage, internet protocols and operating systems. An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact.
As a member of our diverse and skilled teams, you will have the opportunity to solve and design solutions to challenging problems in distributed systems, virtualised infrastructure, and highly available services.
The Responsibilities
On a typical day, you will be working as part of a small, focused, agile team and could be doing one or more of the following:
Programming, testing and operating software at the heart of OCI. You might be:
* Writing backend code in Java, Python, Go Lang or another modern programming language.
* Writing frontend code in React and JavaScript/TypeScript.
* Working with containerisation and virtualisation technologies such as Docker, containerd and Kubernetes.
* Automating lifecycle operations for your project: build, test, health check, deploy, upgrade etc.
* Deploying and operating your software in data-centres across the globe.
* Analysing, diagnosing and debugging issues across a full breadth of our stack
* Debug, maintain and improve existing systems, with a focus on performance and reducing operational burden.
* Scaling our operations by building tooling and automation.
Participating in the software engineering community at Oracle and beyond. Maybe you will be:
* Discussing potential solutions to complex technical problems and building consensus among disparate teams.
* Designing and implementing exciting new features or services for our customers.
In addition to day-to-day responsibilities, all of our engineers participate in operating and supporting the product in production and take part in a 12x7 on-call PagerDuty rotation, typically every 5-7 weeks depending on team size.
