TL;DR · Software Engineering Architect, Crypto

As a Software Engineering Architect in OCI’s Crypto team, you will shape the technical direction of foundational security and trust services, including authentication, authorization, KMS, secrets management, PKI, and certificates. Your role involves designing secure, resilient, highly available distributed systems that support OCI's global cloud footprint. You will lead architecture for critical cryptographic services, partner with engineering leaders to enhance resiliency and strengthen platform-wide trust controls, modernize existing services into cloud-native architectures, and define best practices for secure distributed systems. The ideal candidate has over 15 years of experience in designing large-scale distributed systems, deep expertise in security engineering, and a strong background in cryptographic services and cloud security architecture. Experience with control plane services, multi-region operations, and service modernization is preferred. This role offers the opportunity to influence durable architecture patterns for Tier 0 systems that protect customer data and support OCI's continued expansion.

What you'll do

  • Design and influence secure, scalable cryptographic services across OCI's global cloud footprint.
  • Lead architecture for authentication, authorization, service-to-service trust, KMS, secrets, certificates, PKI, and key exchange.
  • Evaluate security risk and improve resiliency of platform-wide trust controls in collaboration with engineering leaders.
  • Modernize existing services into cloud-native architectures that can scale across regions and realms.
  • Define best practices for secure distributed systems, observability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery for Tier 0 services.
  • Guide architecture reviews and technical decisions for teams integrating with OCI Crypto services.

What we're looking for

  • 15+ years of experience in designing and operating large-scale distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in security engineering, including authentication, authorization, and cryptographic services.
  • Strong background in cloud security architecture, PKI/certificates, secrets management, and multi-region operations.
  • Proven ability to influence technical decisions across organizations and align senior stakeholders.
  • Extensive experience with control plane services, service modernization, and large-scale architecture transformation.
  • Solid fundamentals in systems design, data structures, algorithms, networking, databases, and distributed storage.
