TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer joins the team responsible for building and operating the foundational distributed systems behind OCI. This role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing components for high-volume data retrieval, storage, and processing with a focus on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Key responsibilities include building fault-tolerant paths using redundancy, replication, and automatic failover, while developing Infrastructure as Code for maintenance and troubleshooting. The engineer will perform performance, load, and fault-injection testing to ensure correctness and availability. Required technical skills include proficiency in object-oriented or systems programming languages like Java, C++, C#, or Go. Candidates must understand distributed systems concepts, data structures, algorithms, networking, and security controls such as encryption and access remediation to solve complex data-plane service problems in multi-tenant environments.

What you'll do

  • Design, implement, and optimize components for large-scale distributed systems and data-plane services.
  • Build scalable components using distributed state, replication, synchronization, and high-volume data-processing patterns.
  • Strengthen service reliability through redundancy, automatic failover, retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts.
  • Execute performance, load, and fault-injection tests to validate scalability and operational readiness.
  • Create dashboards, alarms, telemetry, and runbooks to proactively detect issues and accelerate recovery.
  • Diagnose production issues, participate in on-call rotations, and perform root-cause analyses.
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for automated maintenance, troubleshooting, patching, and rollbacks.
  • Apply security controls including encryption, access management, and vulnerability remediation in multi-tenant environments.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4+ years of professional software-development experience; advanced degree holders may have fewer years of experience.
  • Proficiency in at least one object-oriented or systems programming language, such as Java, C++, C#, or Go.
  • Experience building or operating scalable, highly available distributed systems or cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience with system-level testing and automation, including performance, load, reliability, or fault-injection testing.
  • Understanding of distributed-systems concepts, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and secure software-development practices.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, data-plane platforms, microservices, or observability (preferred).
