Senior Platform Software Engineer

Application Performance Monitoring Engineer -Development We are seeking a software engineer to build and evolve Oracle APM Agent, OpenTelemetry Agent, OpenTelemetry Operator, and APM Synthetics capabilities. This role helps customers proactively monitor the availability, performance, and reliability of their applications, APIs, infrastructure, and critical user journeys.

You will work across monitoring agents, synthetic monitoring side agents, REST/API monitors, backend services, configuration management, operational tooling, cloud infrastructure, and user interfaces. The platform must provide secure, dependable telemetry collection and monitor execution at scale, with a strong focus on customer experience, reliability, and operational excellence.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Oracle APM Agents, OpenTelemetry-based agents, OpenTelemetry Operator integrations, and APM Synthetics side agents.
• Build and enhance browser, scripted, and REST/API synthetic monitoring capabilities, including scheduling, authentication, assertions, response validation, retries, and execution-result reporting.
• Develop Java microservices and APIs for configuring, scheduling, executing, and managing agents, synthetic monitors, monitor locations, and related platform capabilities.
• Build and evolve configuration-management systems for agents, monitors, credentials, policies, software versions, and runtime settings.
• Design secure and resilient agent lifecycle capabilities, including installation, registration, configuration delivery, upgrades, health reporting, and diagnostics.
• Develop UI experiences for creating and managing monitors, viewing monitor health and results, troubleshooting failures, configuring alerts, and exploring synthetic telemetry.
• Build operational tooling, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks that enable efficient support and reliable operation of the platform.
• Investigate and resolve production issues across agent connectivity, monitor execution, configuration propagation, APIs, telemetry ingestion, and customer environments.
• Integrate synthetic and agent telemetry with the broader APM platform, including traces, metrics, logs, alerts, service monitoring, and incident workflows.
• Contribute to OCI Log Analytics integrations for operational logs, synthetic-monitoring diagnostics, analytics, and troubleshooting.
• Deploy and operate cloud-native services using OCI services, including Kubernetes/OKE, OCI Streaming, and observability services.
• Use modern AI-assisted engineering tools, including Codex and related developer tools, to improve development velocity, testing, troubleshooting, and operational efficiency.
• Improve reliability, scalability, security, performance, and cost efficiency across the platform.

• Strong Java software-engineering experience, particularly with distributed microservices and backend APIs.
• Experience building or operating agents, monitoring platforms, observability systems, automation frameworks, or distributed systems.
• Experience with REST APIs, HTTP protocols, authentication methods, TLS/security concepts, and API testing or monitoring.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, telemetry collection, instrumentation, traces, metrics, logs, and modern observability data models.
• Experience with configuration management, remote agent deployment, fleet management, or agent lifecycle operations.
• Experience developing user interfaces for configuration, monitoring, diagnostics, or operational workflows.
• Strong operational mindset, including production troubleshooting, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root-cause analysis.
• Knowledge of OCI services, particularly Kubernetes/OKE, OCI Streaming, and OCI observability services.
• Familiarity with OCI Log Analytics or similar log analytics and observability platforms.
• Familiarity with Codex and other AI-assisted development tools, with an ability to apply them thoughtfully to engineering workflows.
• Ability to work effectively across agents, backend services, APIs, UI development, configuration systems, infrastructure, and customer-facing technical problem solving.
