Job description

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Principal Systems Software Engineer to help build and evolve the low-level systems software and platform-management capabilities that power next-generation GPU infrastructure.

This is a hands-on systems engineering role at the intersection of software, firmware, hardware, and large-scale cloud infrastructure. You will work on complex GPU and server platforms, owning critical capabilities spanning BMC/service-processor software, platform management, firmware lifecycle, reliability and serviceability, telemetry, power management, hardware bring-up, and fleet operations.

You will work closely with silicon, firmware, hardware, compute, and fleet engineering teams, as well as technology and manufacturing partners, to bring new platforms from initial hardware enablement through production deployment and ongoing operation at cloud scale., BMC & Platform-Management Systems

  • Design, develop, and maintain complex BMC, service-processor, and platform-management software for GPU and server infrastructure.

  • Develop capabilities for host management, baseboard management, telemetry, platform monitoring, power control, and system diagnostics.

  • Design and implement secure, reliable firmware-management and update workflows across complex, multi-vendor platforms.

  • Define robust interfaces and integration contracts between platform firmware, hardware components, operating systems, drivers, and higher-level infrastructure services.

Systems & Firmware Development

  • Design and implement low-level systems software and firmware using technologies such as C, C++, Python, and Bash.

  • Develop maintainable software for managing, monitoring, diagnosing, and provisioning server and GPU systems.

  • Build automation and tooling that improves platform provisioning, onboarding, validation, diagnostics, and fleet operations.

  • Develop and debug advanced platform capabilities involving areas such as RAS, telemetry, power management, high-speed I/O, and chipset/SoC services.

Requirements

This role is well suited for an engineer with deep experience in computer systems, embedded or platform firmware, and hardware/software integration who enjoys solving difficult problems that cross traditional engineering boundaries.
