At Oracle multicloud organization, our mission is to is to maximize the value of customer’s Oracle investment as well as other clouds or on-premise infrastructure and provide highly distributed, scalable, and resilient multi-cloud solutions for their business needs. 

We are looking for hands-on engineers with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in all areas of cloud service software engineering: high scale distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, identity, security, observability, and user experience.  

This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud services from the ground up. We are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact here. You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, diverse people, and given the autonomy as well as support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged. 

 

Position Overview 

You have experience with the design of major features and launching them into production. You’ve built and operated high-scale public cloud services and have a deep understanding of control plane architecture. You work on most projects and tasks independently and extend technical leadership to development teams. 

In this role, you will enable development teams by driving design of major service components, working with engineering managers and TPMs, and providing direct guidance to more junior team members. You can go from high level system design, writing architectural documentation and driving engineering peer reviews to hands-on prototyping, code reviews and project bootstrapping. 

You are technically strong and get a lot done. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument your service. You understand operational excellence and how to instill a culture of high quality and customer focus. 

 

Job Responsibilities 
As a Principal Software Developer, you will build entire services and act as a leader on your team. You will be developing high-quality code and tests, mentoring others on your team and establishing engineering standards, drive design and architecture of your service, and play a key role in planning, execution and operational readiness.
