Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking self-motivated technical leaders who thrive on solving system-level and data-plane architecture challenges at scale. As an expert developer, you’ll deep-dive into low-level systems, designing highly scalable solutions for networking and storage in OCI’s advanced cloud environment. You have a proven record of shipping major features to production, and deep expertise in high-scale public cloud—particularly at the data-plane level. You work independently, mentor teams, and drive technical vision from concept through delivery.

With us, you will define the next generation of OCI’s infrastructure—delivering innovations that set new standards for the industry. We value builders who lead by example, simplify complexity, balance speed with quality, and inspire others to optimize and automate. If you have a history of leading large-scale projects and driving operational excellence, you’ll thrive here!
