Are you interested in building the next generation of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that supercharges modern cloud application development? Do you love the idea of working in a dynamic, modern agile environment with the excitement of a start-up, but the financial backing of a Fortune 100 company? You’ll be joining an early-stage, fast-growing venture that offers a ton of autonomy and a lot of variety. This is a unique opportunity to work with smart people to solve complex problems in ageographically distributed, secure, multi-tenant cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environment at massive scale. We’re looking for a Principal Software Development Engineer with experience in cloud service development on a modern IaaS environment. This candidate has a natural excitement for building complex, highly distributed, and reliable cloud-native services that reimagine what is possible in a cloud environment.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for engineers with distributed systems experience. You should have experience with the design of major features and launching them into production. You’ve operated high-scale services and understand how to make them more resilient. You work on most projects and tasks independently. You have experience working with services that require data to travel long distances, but have to abide by compliance and regulations. You stay up at night thinking about how to protect the service from upstream dependencies.
The ideal candidate will be technically strong and get a lot done – you’ve worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and redundant. You understand that simple systems are easier to operate and troubleshoot. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument properly to get the right data. You understand operational excellence and how to instill a culture of being proactive with your teammates. You find anomalies in graphs that didn’t trip any alarms and root cause problems before they become real problems.
The person in this role will get a lot done on a daily basis, drive tactical execution of features and projects, and own feature design.
What are the biggest challenges for the team?
The biggest challenges for the team are reliability and performance. The growth of the business is driving us to improve the ability of our systems to scale out and handle traffic patterns that are several orders of magnitude greater than what we can support today.
