Software Developer 3

Job description

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team can provide you the opportunity to build and operate a suite of massive scale, integrated cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment.

OCI is committed to providing the best in cloud products that meet the needs of our customers who are tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges.

We offer unique opportunities for smart, hands-on engineers with the expertise and passion to solve difficult problems in distributed highly available services and virtualized infrastructure.

At every level, our engineers have a significant technical and business impact designing and building innovative new systems to power our customer’s business critical applications.

Department Description:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability and cost-effective infrastructure services.

Multiple compute options provide the flexibility to run the most demanding workloads, as well as less compute-intensive applications, in a secure and highly available cloud environment.

Customers can self-service provision virtual machines right alongside bare metal servers and clusters on the same virtual cloud networks, through a unified web console, APIs, CLI or via industry standard tools such as Terraform and Chef.

OCI's approach gives the customer choices for storage us industry leading local NVME storage or elastic network block storage.

Position Overview: 

The Site reliability engineering (SRE) discipline in OCI incorporates the ethos of software engineering and applies it large scale operations problems.

As a SRE your primary goals are to create highly reliable and ultra-scalable software systems to manage the operations of our services.

A SRE will spend a significant amount of their time doing ops related work such as production issues and service on-call.

When not working on operations the SRE is working on software engineering tasks such as design and development of systems that increase our reliability, scalability and reduce operational overhead through automation.

The ideal SRE candidate is proficient programmer who has large breadth of knowledge and experience including areas such as networking, internet protocols and Linux systems.

Our SREs are close partners with service owners in all aspects of service operations and ownership.

We have a strong culture of innovation, collaboration and team work inspired by the DevOps philosophy.
