This person will work on building production-grade cloud distributed systems, agentic AI platforms, autonomous workflows, scalable inference infrastructure, and enterprise AI applications used in large-scale, business-critical environments. This role owns moderately complex components within OCI Cloud platform services or SDKs; leads team-level improvements to integration frameworks and developer tooling. Performs deep debugging across a bounded set of distributed services, driving fixes that protect downstream consumers and upgrade paths. Analyzes usage, performance, and error budgets for specific platform surfaces; implements targeted resilience and capacity optimizations. Authors and curates team-scoped documentation, samples, and adoption guidance. The ideal candidate combines deep distributed systems experience with practical AI-native engineering. Responsibilities Key Responsibilities include: * Implements and contributes to the development for components of distributed systems that support horizontal and vertical scaling including leveraging distributed state management tools. * Design, implement, and deliver scalable agentic AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, tool use, workflow execution, multi-step task orchestration, and safe human-in-the-loop escalation. * Implement scalability, performance, availability, and durability requirements for owned services and components. * Designs and implements functional requirements and testing for assigned features within an existing system * Optimize services for high-throughput, low-latency, and large-scale cloud workloads. * Implement systems that handle network unreliability, service disruptions, and partition scenarios while meeting SLOs. * Establish telemetry, KPIs, dashboards, and alerts to monitor service health, performance, reliability, and customer impact. * Drive performance testing, load testing, fault injection, brownout testing, and other validation strategies to ensure correctness and resiliency. * Implement secure infrastructure controls for multi-tenant cloud environments, including access controls, encryption, and remediation of security gaps. * Develop automation, Infrastructure as Code, and deployment tooling to support safe patching, updates, rollbacks, and operational recovery. * Designs and implements automation scripts and tooling used to troubleshoot operational issues. * Take ownership of production operations, including troubleshooting, incident response, root cause analysis, and ongoing service improvements. * Adheres to change management plans for patching, updating, and rolling back applications. * Strengthen operational readiness by improving runbooks, monitoring, change management, deployment safety, and recovery processes. * Applies advanced security measures to protect data and applications in multi-tenant environments, including encryption and access controls. * Collaborates with the team to ensure cloud infrastructure complies with relevant industry standards and regulations and that documentation is up-to-date ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Microservices: how to get started with Spring Boot and Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/242-microservices-how-to-get-started-with-spring-boot-and-kubernetes) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers)
