About the role

What will you do at Oracle?

Leads development and begins architecting components of scalable, elastic

distributed systems. Defines and enforces scalability requirements for owned

components; optimizes code and data paths for high‑throughput, hyper‑scale

workloads; and leverages data plane platforms for large‑scale retrieval,

storage, and processing. Designs fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable systems

using redundancy, replication, failover, and policies for partitions, applying

load‑shedding, throttling, and rate‑limiting to handle network unreliability

while meeting SLOs.

Establishes KPIs and telemetry; builds proactive dashboards and alerts; and

designs complex validation (fault injection, brownouts), replication, and

synchronization for correctness and durability. Proactively diagnoses and

resolves production issues, mentors peers, and ensures operational readiness.

Implements robust security controls, executes remediation, maintains compliance

documentation, and develops IaC and automation that enable safe patching,

updates, and rollbacks within change‑management plans.

RESPONSIBILITIES

System Design & Architecture - System Scalability:

* Lead the development and implementation, and begin to architect, components

of scalable distributed systems that support horizontal and vertical scaling

to meet system demands, including leveraging distributed state management

tools.

* Optimize code and/or systems for large-scale data processing and

high-throughput requirements to support hyper-scale systems.

* Define scalability requirements for owned components and ensure design and

implementation requirements are met.

* Design systems to scale with elasticity (e.g., effectively scaling both up

and down).

* Leverage data plane platforms to effectively handle large-scale data

retrieval, storage, and processing.

* Design performance and load testing.

System Reliability Design:

* Build and design fault-tolerant components and systems capable of

withstanding in-service updates by implementing redundancy, replication, and

automatic failover mechanisms.

* Design systems to effectively handle service disruptions (e.g., network

partitions) by prioritizing consistency, availability, or partition

tolerance.

* Implement and optimize approaches to handle network unreliability, including

load-shedding, throttling, and rate-limiting.

* Design components and systems that are durable and adhere to service level

objectives (SLOs), setting expectations for availability and durability of

other computing services within the department.

System Reliability Performance:

* Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and telemetry to identify gaps or

issues in running systems.

* Build and customize moderately complex dashboards, telemetry systems, and

alerting mechanisms to proactively monitor components and system health..

Correctness / Availability:

* Design and implement functional and correctness requirements for feature sets

and/or systems in new or existing systems.

* Design complex test scenarios (e.g., fault-injection, brown-out) to evaluate

system correctness.

* Implement data replication and synchronization techniques to maintain data

integrity and availability.

Operational Troubleshooting & Incident Management:

* Take a proactive role in diagnosing, debugging, and resolving issues in

active components and systems to support ongoing operation, and mentor others

in these processes.

* Implement strategies to prevent interruptions, ensuring no maintenance

windows are required for customers and users when resolving issues.

* Maintain expertise in owned components and systems to ensure effective

troubleshooting and performance.

* Meet operational readiness expectations through design and implementation.

* Serve in operational support rotations, providing guidance in incident

response and root cause investigations.

Compliance & Security:

* Implement robust security measures to protect data and applications in

multi-tenant environments, including encryption techniques and access

controls.

* Execute remediation plans to address identified security gaps.

* Ensure cloud infrastructure is in compliance with industry standards and

regulations and that documentation is up to date.

Automation & Change Management:

* Develop and maintain automation scripts and tools (e.g., Infrastructure as

Code (IaC)) to manage cloud infrastructure.

* Create and adhere to change management plans for patching, updating, and

rolling back applications, and begin designing systems and components to

allow for automation of these processes.
