Principal Software Developer, OCI Security & Identity

About the OCI Security & Identity Team

As a member of the Security and Identity team, you will be part of a team responsible for the platform used by OCI service teams and external customers to transfer artifacts and data from one region to another within the Cloud. This platform is fundamental to OCI’s security posture and is a highly scalable system that works across hundreds of thousands of resources within each of the 60+ regions worldwide. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure organization designs, builds, and operates OCI services that help bring a unified, state-of-the-art, cloud-native approach to Oracle OCI Native SaaS application development and operations.

Our services strive to provide a simplified, developer-friendly approach to SaaS application development that promotes the 'Day 1' velocity, scale, reliability, and customer experience demanded of modern cloud applications. Values are OCI's foundation and how we deliver excellence, striving for equity, inclusion, and respect for all. We are committed to the greater good in our products and our actions, continually learning and taking opportunities to grow our careers and ourselves, and challenging each other to stretch beyond our past to build our future.

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 a geographically distributed, secure, multi-tenant cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environment at massive scale.

Your Role as Principal Software Developer, OCI Security & Identity

You will also provide technical leadership to junior engineers and will be a mentor to help grow engineering craft.

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. This candidate understands current technologies and trends in modern cloud-native service design but has a natural enthusiasm to think differently, push boundaries, and take calculated risks to continuously drive value to our stakeholders.
