The Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the Host Provisioning Services team to develop scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure systems for the OCI compute platform. This role involves architecting and delivering high-availability services and automation pipelines that manage the full server lifecycle, including rack integration, hardware bring-up, and customer-ready instance provisioning. You will build microservices and tooling to configure and validate server platforms, manage firmware updates, and support new silicon like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel platforms. The position requires expertise in distributed Linux systems, Java, and Python. You will solve complex problems at the intersection of bare metal hardware and full-stack orchestration, interfacing directly with components such as BMCs, NICs, GPUs, and custom firmware stacks to ensure reliable, production-ready hardware launches.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain provisioning, firmware-management, and hardware lifecycle services.
  • Support the qualification and onboarding of new server, GPU, NIC, and storage platforms.
  • Build automation for firmware validation, metadata generation, compliance checks, and deployment readiness.
  • Investigate and resolve production issues across provisioning, firmware, and hardware-management systems.
  • Improve service reliability, scalability, and operational documentation for core infrastructure.
  • Provide on-call support for customer fleet issues in OCI data centers.
  • Architect and deliver high-availability services for server provisioning at hyperscale.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 6 to 10+ years of experience.
  • Must be able and willing to work onsite in Nashville, TN.
  • Must have experience developing distributed Linux systems.
  • Must have experience with distributed systems.
  • Must have experience with Java.
  • Must have experience with Python.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Expertise in BMC, BIOS, EC2, Linux, Java, Python, and developing software that manages firmware (preferred).
