Job description

  • Lead architecture, design, and implementation for complex platform services and shared components.
  • Own key technical decisions; drive design reviews and ensure solutions meet security, scalability, performance, and operability requirements.
  • Establish and improve engineering standards across services (API consistency, test strategy, deployment patterns, observability).
  • Mentor engineers through design guidance, code reviews, and technical leadership.
  • Drive reliability improvements (SLOs/SLIs, capacity/performance planning, incident analysis, automation).
  • Partner with Security/Compliance to ensure secure-by-design implementations and audit readiness.
  • Collaborate across organizations to align roadmaps and deliver cross-team platform initiatives.

AI-First Engineering Expectations

  • Demonstrate a consistent track record of applying AI-assisted engineering to improve delivery speed and quality across multiple projects (design, implementation, testing, troubleshooting).
  • Establish team patterns for AI-assisted development (e.g., test generation strategies, code review checklists for AI-generated changes, documentation/ADR generation) and coach others on effective usage.
  • Evaluate AI-assisted approaches with an enterprise mindset: security, privacy, IP, and compliance considerations; ensure usage aligns with company-approved tooling and policies.
  • Use AI to enhance operational excellence (e.g., improved incident triage workflows, log/trace analysis approaches, automation of repetitive operational tasks).

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Demonstrated experience building and operating distributed services in production.
  • Strong system design skills, including data modeling, API design, and performance/reliability tradeoffs.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive technical alignment across teams and deliver results in ambiguous problem spaces.

  • Cloud experience preferred (OCI strongly desired; AWS/Azure/GCP acceptable), including containerization and orchestration.

Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all. Discover your potential at a company leading the way in AI and cloud solutions that impact billions of lives.
