## Description

Lead Principal Software Engineer - AI Infrastructure, Network Modeling & Control

Build the network control software that enables OCI's AI infrastructure to scale. Large-scale AI training and inference depend on reliable, high-performance networks connecting GPU infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Network Modeling and Control team builds the software that models these physical networks and enables their configuration, expansion, and safe operation.

Our services help turn infrastructure designs into working networks and coordinate changes as capacity grows. You will tackle distributed systems challenges at the intersection of software, networking, and AI infrastructure: maintaining consistent network state, coordinating concurrent changes, recovering from partial failures, and introducing automation that protects availability.

We are looking for a hands-on Lead Principal Software Engineer to shape the architecture and evolution of these services. Your decisions will help determine how efficiently OCI brings new AI network capacity online and how reliably that infrastructure operates.

This is an individual contributor role with technical influence across teams. You will define architecture, write and review critical code, lead complex initiatives through production, and mentor engineers.

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.
