Role Posting Log in to save

The Principal Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure joins the team responsible for a tier-0 distributed storage service that functions as the metadata backbone for OCI control-plane services. In this role, the engineer will drive the next generation of architecture by focusing on scalable data-plane design, predictable read performance, and cost-aware throttling. Daily responsibilities involve ensuring resilient service evolution across OCI regions and maintaining operational excellence. The position requires expertise in building safe, strongly consistent, and highly available storage primitives. The core technical challenge involves providing reliable cloud-scale control planes while abstracting away database complexity for other OCI services. The candidate must possess the skills necessary to manage distributed storage systems and develop robust infrastructure that supports critical metadata operations within a complex cloud environment.
