At the heart of OCI are Oracle hardware systems and the cloud software stack that provisions, manages, updates, and secures them at fleet scale. Would you like to: * Make an impact at the leading edge of cloud infrastructure. * Contribute to foundational security for OCI servers. * Work across embedded firmware, Python-based tooling, and OCI service integration layers. If yes, join us as a Software Engineer working on Root of Trust (RoT) firmware and supporting software for OCI servers. About the Team OCI's cloud offering gives customers access to bare-metal hardware and lower-level software stacks for maximum control and performance, which also creates heightened security needs. The Root of Trust team secures this environment by designing, implementing, and validating firmware and companion software that underpin the chain of trust for provisioning, update, attestation, and secure wipe workflows. The team also builds software layers that allow OCI control-plane services and internal tooling to interact safely with RoT devices, including Java and Python tooling and client-library integration paths for hardware provisioning. About the Position As a Software Engineer IC2, you will contribute to secure firmware and systems management technologies deployed in OCI. You will work closely with senior engineers, hardware partners, and service teams to develop, debug, test, and improve RoT firmware and the software used to operate it. This is not a firmware-only role. In addition to low-level embedded firmware work, the candidate will help develop higher-level OCI interaction layers, primarily in Java, for provisioning, update, validation, automation, and control-plane workflows. There are also opportunities to work on Python tooling-based factory provisioning workflows. You will: * Develop and enhance secure system-management firmware and software, using industry standards and Oracle-specific extensions. * Build Java and/or Python tools, libraries, and automation that help OCI services and engineers interact with RoT devices safely and reliably. * Participate in product development from prototype and bring-up through implementation, validation, release, and operational support. * Work with mentors and partner teams to build secure, scalable, maintainable code., * Implement, test, debug, and maintain firmware features and companion software for RoT hardware. * Develop Java and/or Python-based tooling and integration layers used for provisioning, firmware update, validation, diagnostics, and automation. * Contribute to control plan client-adjacent workflows, including REST API interactions, service integration, and client-side validation logic. * Analyze existing code and tests, identify defects, and improve reliability, maintainability, and security. * Collaborate with firmware developers, hardware engineers, security reviewers, service owners, manufacturing partners, hardware and lab teams. * Use source control, CI/CD systems, lab equipment, and test automation to validate changes and communicate findings clearly. ## Related Videos - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Getting to Know Your Legacy (System) with AI-Driven Software Archeology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1437-getting-to-know-your-legacy-system-with-ai-driven-software-archeology) - [Let developers develop again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/463-let-developers-develop-again) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) - [Why your codebase lies to AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100281-why-your-codebase-lies-to-ai) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [93 Java Interview Questions You Should Prepare For](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/14-93-java-interview-questions-you-should-prepare-for) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard)
