Job description

OCI Incident Response is the first line of defense for maintaining the high availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We reduce the frequency, duration, and impact of customer-facing incidents through large-scale incident management, automation, and continuous operational improvement.

As a Lead Principal Platform Software Engineer, you will help define the future of incident management across OCI. You will design and build scalable platforms, automation, and agentic AI-driven solutions that improve how OCI detects, investigates, mitigates, and learns from service-impacting events. Your work will influence reliability across multiple engineering organizations and services.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

  • Design and deliver scalable systems, services, and automation that improve OCI-wide reliability.

  • Lead agentic and AI-powered solutions that accelerate incident detection, diagnosis, mitigation, and learning.

  • Define architectural patterns, engineering standards, and observability practices that improve resiliency and operability.

  • Lead complex cross-organizational initiatives with broad customer and business impact.

  • Serve as a technical leader during critical incidents, driving systemic fixes and long-term improvements.

  • Partner with senior engineers, architects, and service teams to raise the reliability bar across OCI.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 10+ years of software development experience.

  • Strong proficiency in one or more modern languages such as Java, C++, Go, or Python.

  • Experience designing and building large-scale distributed or cloud systems.

  • Experience with observability, testing, CI/CD, and production operations.

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and architecture skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with incident management, SRE, or cloud operations.

  • Experience applying AI, LLMs, or agentic systems to automation workflows.

  • Strong communication, leadership, and cross-functional influence.

  • Experience mentoring engineers and driving organization-wide technical improvements.

  • Experience with OCI or other large-scale cloud platforms.
