Join our Security Central team, dedicated to enhancing OCI's security posture and risk management across cloud infrastructure. As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will be instrumental in designing, implementing, and optimizing complex distributed systems, backend services, and data pipelines. This role emphasizes building highly scalable, resilient, and operable components, with a focus on owning features from inception to production.

This opportunity is perfect for an engineer with a strong foundation in software development and a passion for distributed systems. You will contribute to creating secure, reliable, and robust cloud services that power modern applications.

Key responsibilities include developing scalable distributed system components, optimizing code for large-scale data processing, and implementing robust reliability features such as redundancy, replication, and automatic failover. You will apply recovery-oriented design principles and implement mechanisms like retries and circuit breakers to ensure system stability. Proactive issue detection and mitigation through comprehensive testing, alarms, and dashboards are crucial, as is authoring runbooks and contributing to incident response. Furthermore, you will develop automation and Infrastructure as Code for seamless deployment, troubleshooting, and maintenance, while ensuring adherence to security, compliance, and documentation standards.

We are looking for an engineer with proven experience in designing and implementing distributed systems, focusing on scalability and reliability. A strong understanding of backend service development, data pipeline optimization, and operability principles is essential. Experience with recovery-oriented computing, fault-tolerant design, and implementing resilience patterns like retries and circuit breakers is required. Proficiency in automation, Infrastructure as Code, and security best practices, including encryption and access management, is also a must. You should be adept at collaborative problem-solving, technical design reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
