Software Developer 3

About the Role

Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team is building new Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies that operate at large scale in a distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. Join OCI Networking to build highly scalable and customizable services offering predictable and consistent performance, isolation, and availability. We are looking for engineers with distributed systems experience to contribute to the software design and development for major components of Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will be both a rock-solid coder and a distributed systems generalist, able to dive deep into any part of the stack and low-level systems, as well as design broad distributed system interactions. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.

The team is rebuilding the distributed system as a workflow, driven by the dynamic and fast growth of the business. The challenge involves making the right tradeoffs, communicating decisions effectively, and executing crisply to build services that reliably protect our customer cloud environment while enabling rapid innovation and growth.

Responsibilities

• Design, architect, and build large-scale distributed systems that enable rapid region builds and network orchestration across OCI.
• Drive development of services and frameworks that simplify complex networking challenges at scale.
• Collaborate across multiple teams from OCI to design unified, automated, and observable systems.
• Lead technical direction for high-impact projects, mentoring engineers and shaping design reviews with simplicity and resilience in mind.
• Improve service reliability, latency, and operational automation through intelligent tooling, metrics, and self-healing systems.
• Partner with senior leadership to influence architectural strategy and guide OCI's region-build roadmap.
• Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and accountability — where people take pride in building things that matter.

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science or relevant technical field involving coding or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5 years of total experience in software development.
• Demonstrated ability to write great code using Java, GoLang, C#, or similar OO languages.
• Proven ability to deliver products and experience with the full software development lifecycle.
• Experience working on large-scale, highly distributed services infrastructure.
• Experience working in an operational environment with mission-critical tier-one livesite servicing.
• Systematic problem-solving approach, strong communication skills, a sense of ownership, and drive.
• Experience designing architectures that demonstrate deep technical depth in one area, or span many products, to enable high availability, scalability, market-leading features, and flexibility to meet future business demands.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining services on a public cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Azure, Oracle).
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IAC) languages, preferably Terraform.
• Strong knowledge of databases (SQL and NoSQL).
• Experience with Kafka, Apache Spark, and other big data technologies.
