We’re seeking experienced developers, proficient in Linux internals, virtualization and container technologies, to join a new Service Platform team within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This team is building a foundational platform that powers OCI services—from low‑level execution runtimes and cluster management to application orchestration and advanced change management workflows. Our goal is to accelerate OCI’s evolution into an autonomous cloud, boosting efficiency, scalability, and developer productivity. Responsibilities
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to design and build scalable, high‑performance foundational platform services. Define and improve engineering best practices, development processes, and design standards. Design, implement, and maintain software components across the full development lifecycle. Contribute to debugging, performance tuning, and improving reliability of system‑level software. Drive architectural and design decisions with broad impact across OCI. Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of professional software development experience. Proficiency in systems‑level programming with Rust, C/C++, or Go. Ability to lead critical technical decisions and set engineering vision. Knowledge of cluster networking and cloud networking. Strong understanding of Linux systems, including kernel, driver development, and virtualization. Solid knowledge of computer networking fundamentals (OSI, TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS, DHCP, subnets, gateways). Experience delivering high‑quality products through all stages of the software lifecycle. Experience developing high‑performance, low‑level systems; experience supporting production, live‑service environments. Strong problem‑solving skills, ownership mindset, and excellent communication abilities. Experience designing architectures for high availability, scalability, and future flexibility across services. Preferred Qualifications
Experience as a technical lead on large‑scale infrastructure projects and services. 10+ years of professional software development experience. Mastery of systems programming in Rust, C/C++, or Go to build secure, performant, cloud‑native components. Experience developing and operating services on public clouds (Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure). Hands‑on experience with eBPF for programmable kernel‑level networking and security (e.g., via Cilium, Envoy). In‑depth knowledge of Linux internals and virtualization technologies (KVM, QEMU, LXC, libvirt, cgroups). Proficiency with Kubernetes and container orchestration. Strong written and verbal communication; ability to produce clear technical designs and documentation. Experience with highly distributed infrastructure and scalable service architectures. Mentoring and hiring experience, with a commitment to raising the technical bar across teams. Qualifications and Disclaimers
Certain US customer or client‑facing roles may require compliance with applicable requirements, such as immunization and occupational health mandates. Compensation and Benefits
US: Hiring Range in USD from $96,800 to $223,400 per year. May be eligible for bonus and equity.
