Principal Platform Software Engineer

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building the next generation of software

systems that enable data center operations to scale with the speed, reliability,

and efficiency required by modern cloud infrastructure.

We are looking for a **Principal Software Development Engineer (IC4)** to help

design, build, and operate software platforms that support Cloud Hardware

Support (CHS) as OCI continues to grow. This role focuses on cloud-native

systems, operational tooling, workflow automation, analytics, and intelligent

user experiences that help teams manage data center work more consistently and

efficiently.

As an IC4 engineer, you will operate independently while helping guide the

team’s technical direction. You will build entire systems and services, drive

design across complex features and subsystems, improve engineering and

operational practices, and collaborate closely with partner teams across

infrastructure, operations, and service engineering. This aligns with the IC4

expectation of independently building systems and services while improving

engineering practices, operations, ownership, hiring, and mentoring across a

director-level organization.

This role is well suited for an engineer who enjoys solving ambiguous

operational problems with scalable software. You will work on platforms that

unify task execution, workflow orchestration, inventory and asset interactions,

guided procedures, operational analytics, and automation-first experiences for

data center support teams. The broader CHS roadmap emphasizes reducing manual,

fragmented processes; improving repair throughput and quality; building

centralized analytics; and establishing a task-centric repair operator platform

as a primary system of work.

Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, ownership of production

systems, customer empathy for field and operations users, and the ability to

design software that is secure, resilient, observable, and scalable across

global environments.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Principal Software Development Engineer, you will:

Design, develop, and operate scalable cloud-native services, APIs, and platforms

that support OCI data center growth, repair operations, and infrastructure

management.

Build software that simplifies complex operational workflows through automation,

guided task execution, intelligent prioritization, and self-service tooling.

Lead the design of major features and subsystems across task management,

inventory workflows, analytics, workflow orchestration, integrations, and

operational dashboards.

Create reliable systems that integrate with multiple backend sources of truth

while presenting users with a unified, consistent, and intuitive experience.

Develop platforms that improve technician productivity, reduce manual work,

increase operational consistency, and support faster issue resolution.

Partner with product, operations, infrastructure, and service teams to translate

complex data center workflows into scalable software capabilities.

Drive operational excellence through observability, alerting, automated

validation, resilient architecture, and measurable service health.

Build analytics and telemetry capabilities that help identify workload trends,

bottlenecks, quality issues, operational risks, and opportunities for

automation.

Improve engineering quality by contributing to architecture reviews, design

standards, testing practices, deployment safety, and production readiness.

Work independently on complex projects while seeking input when tradeoffs affect

customers, business goals, system architecture, or cross-team dependencies,

consistent with IC4 expectations.

Mentor engineers through design reviews, implementation guidance, operational

best practices, and technical decision-making.

Champion secure, maintainable, and extensible software that can scale across

global OCI data center environments.
