About the role
What will you do at Oracle?
The Principal AI Agent / ML Software Engineer is a Senior Staff-level, hands-on
technical leadership role responsible for defining, building, and operating
next-generation AI systems on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This person
will set architecture and engineering direction for production-grade agentic AI
platforms, autonomous workflows, scalable inference infrastructure, and
enterprise AI applications used in large-scale, business-critical environments.
This role requires a proven engineer who can translate ambiguous product and
platform goals into durable technical strategy, lead multi-team execution
without direct authority, and remain deeply hands-on in design, code, reviews,
operations, and incident follow-up. The ideal candidate combines deep
distributed systems experience with practical AI-native engineering, including
orchestration of LLMs, tools, APIs, memory, retrieval, evaluation, guardrails,
and cloud services. The expectation is to ship, scale, and operate reliable,
secure, observable, and cost-aware AI platform systems while raising the
technical bar for engineers across the organization.
Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and
expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And
