TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer within the Next Generation Networking organization, you will design and architect a unified global intelligence and control layer. You will build distributed control-plane and observability software for data center and WAN network orchestration while developing algorithms for route computation, congestion management, fault isolation, traffic steering, and recovery. The role involves creating systems that correlate real-time infrastructure signals to trigger automated responses and building scalable, fault-tolerant services at hyper scale. To succeed, you must possess expertise in distributed systems, core algorithms, and software engineering. You will utilize Java, Go, or Rust to develop service-oriented architectures and secure web services. The work focuses on solving complex networking problems by fusing real-time observability with traffic prediction to create a closed-loop Observe–Predict–Decide–Act model for improved reliability and customer experience.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and operate distributed control-plane and observability software for data center and WAN network orchestration.
  • Develop algorithms for route computation, congestion management, fault isolation, traffic steering, and recovery.
  • Build systems that correlate real-time infrastructure signals to identify customer impact and trigger automated responses.
  • Create scalable, fault-tolerant, and highly available services that operate reliably at OCI scale.
  • Perform complex incident analysis and resolution across distributed systems and real-time network states.
  • Maintain technical documentation for architecture, implementation, operational procedures, and system evolution.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3 to 5+ years of experience.
  • Proficiency in core algorithms, distributed systems, programming, and software engineering.
  • Strong networking fundamentals including L2/L3, TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, switching, and network security (preferred).
  • Hands-on development experience in Java, Go, or Rust for service-oriented architectures and secure web services (preferred).
  • Experience with distributed systems, fault tolerance, algorithms, system reliability, and real-time state management (preferred).
  • Experience applying machine learning or AI frameworks to operational or network intelligence problems (preferred).
  • Proven ability to collaborate across multiple cloud platform teams in an agile environment (preferred).
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills are required.
