We're looking for hands-on engineers with expertise and passion for solving complex problems in distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, and highly available services. If this is you, you can be a leader of the team that will build the best-in-class service. These are exciting times for the service - we are growing fast, and delivering on innovative, enterprise-class features to satisfy the most demanding applications for our customers.

As an ideal candidate, you will have designed and implemented large-scale services in a distributed cloud environment. In addition, you will have an understanding of Linux/Unix fundamentals and will combine this knowledge with your hands-on experience in software development. You will champion creating an engineering environment that embodies the best development and testing practices for delivering secure, scalable, and highly available services.

As a Principal Member of Technical Staff, you will own the software design and developmentfor major components of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure. You should be a rock-solid coder, and a distributed systems generalist who can dive deep into any part of the stack and low-level systems and design broad distributed system interactions. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.
