About the job

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) Developer Platform Builder Tools organization builds the next generation of developer productivity platforms, intelligent development workflows, and AI-powered engineering tools that accelerate software delivery across the enterprise.

We are seeking a Principal Platform Software Engineer to define the architecture and technical direction of scalable services that improve the developer experience and increase engineering productivity. You will work across platform engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native technologies, machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and developer tooling.

A key focus of this role is building a new AI-native testing platform that learns real-world service behavior, generates realistic test traffic, safely validates workloads, and detects regressions with minimal manual test authoring. Its closed-loop workflow observes changing traffic patterns, executes and evaluates tests, and continuously improves future coverage.

As a principal engineer, you will shape the platform from foundational architecture through production deployment and broad adoption across OCI. You will solve ambiguous, organization-wide technical problems, establish engineering standards, and provide technical leadership to senior engineers, product managers, data scientists, and OCI service teams.

Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all. Discover your potential at a company leading the way in AI and cloud solutions that impact billions of lives.

True innovation starts when everyone is empowered to contribute. That’s why we’re committed to growing a workforce that promotes opportunities for all with competitive benefits that support our people with flexible medical, life insurance, and retirement options. We also encourage employees to give back to their communities through our volunteer programs.
