## Description

At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), we are building the next generation of cloud services for autonomous and intelligent robotics. The OCI Robotics Cloud team is developing a secure, scalable, cloud-native robotics platform that enables customers to onboard, manage, monitor, and operate heterogeneous robot fleets across industries.

Our platform provides cloud services for robot registration and identity, fleet and mission management, telemetry and observability, digital twins, simulation, software lifecycle management, and AI-powered robotic applications.

A key focus of the team is an AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding platform that transforms robot integration from a manual engineering effort into a scalable software engineering workflow. Using standardized service contracts, edge specifications, reusable adapters, SDKs, and AI-generated implementation guidance, our platform enables robots from different vendors to integrate rapidly through consistent cloud interfaces.

We are also building the foundation for the next generation of intelligent robotics by connecting cloud infrastructure, simulation, operational robot data, continuous learning, and emerging VLM/VLA and embodied AI technologies. Our goal is to enable robotic systems that can be developed, evaluated, deployed, observed, and continuously improved at fleet scale.

Our vision is to make robot onboarding as simple and repeatable as cloud onboarding while creating the cloud foundation for increasingly intelligent and autonomous robot fleets.

As a Lead Principal Platform Software Engineer, you will be a senior technical leader for OCI Robotics Cloud. You will define architecture and technical direction across the organization, shape the technical roadmap, establish platform abstractions and engineering standards, and lead solutions to complex problems spanning cloud infrastructure, AI, edge computing, simulation, and robotics.

If you are excited about defining the architecture for a new generation of cloud-connected intelligent robotics, we'd love to hear from you.

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.

True innovation starts when everyone is empowered to contribute. That's why we're committed to growing a workforce that promotes opportunities for all with competitive benefits that support our people with flexible medical, life insurance, and retirement options. We also encourage employees to give back to their communities through our volunteer programs.
