As a Senior Staff Engineer in OCI’s infrastructure team, you will lead the architecture and implementation of high-scale distributed systems, APIs, services, data pipelines, and security product capabilities. Your responsibilities include owning multi-quarter initiatives from ambiguous requirements through design and launch, ensuring reliability, scalability, and operational visibility. You will also build or integrate production AI/agent workflows, define engineering quality standards, and partner with various teams to translate broad goals into technical roadmaps. The role requires expertise in programming languages like Java, Python, Go, C++, Rust, or TypeScript, experience with cloud platforms, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability tools, and hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools. Additionally, you must have a deep understanding of system design, distributed systems, security-sensitive products, and secure coding practices.
