As a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer within the software engineering division, you will lead the design, development, and improvement of software supporting the OCI hardware repair platform. You will be responsible for building distributed-system components while defining critical requirements for scalability, reliability, and performance. Your daily work involves designing fault-tolerant services, managing infrastructure automation, and performing root-cause investigations during incident responses. To succeed in this role, you must possess proficiency in Java, along with strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and distributed systems fundamentals. You will utilize Python or Perl for scripting and manage secure REST APIs. The role requires expertise in cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or OCI, as well as experience with NoSQL systems, storage, and distributed persistence technologies to solve complex infrastructure challenges within the hardware repair domain.
Establish operational metrics, telemetry, and performance testing to ensure service readiness in production.
Participate in support rotations to lead incident response and conduct root-cause investigations.
Develop infrastructure automation, safe update/rollback plans, and security compliance documentation.
Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance on software architecture and best practices.
Coordinate the delivery of complex initiatives while contributing to hiring and candidate interviews.
