About the position

Our team at Oracle is building a cloud-native platform for internally developed SaaS applications that operate at a large scale in a broadly distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. We focus on transforming how Software Developers and DevOps engineers build cloud applications for enterprise customers using Oracle technologies. As a Principal Software Developer, you will be a senior member of a team of intelligent, motivated, and diverse people and will be given the autonomy and support to do your best work. Your responsibilities will include ownership of the architecture for the traffic flow and associated components within and between the platform and data plane. You will act as an escalation point for on-call issues related to traffic flow and its associated components, as well as for Solutions Engineering to help customers architect OCI networking and Kubernetes cluster networking solutions to meet their business needs. Additionally, you will be responsible for building, packaging, configuring, and managing the lifecycle of components associated with managing network traffic flow such as Istio, Calico, and Kubernetes network security policies. You will also have ownership of the private PKI tree used between the platform and data plane. The ideal candidate will have in-depth experience building, delivering, and operating cloud-native, highly available, distributed, and secure systems across multiple regions. Our team is primarily remote and spread across the US, India, and Europe, but we maintain close connections by practicing the Agile approach and leveraging tools like Slack and Zoom for day-to-day communication.
