This is a rare opportunity to shape a greenfield platform with broad customer impact and a direct role in OCI's next phase of growth.
As a Senior Principal Software Development Engineer, you will set the long-term technical vision for reliable, secure, and delightful deployment capabilities across the OCI Developer Platform. You will align multiple organizations around durable platform strategy, unlock step-function improvements in developer velocity, and establish industry-leading foundations for the rapid adoption of agentic engineering—without compromising the safety, governance, or reliability of our systems.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
* 12+ years of professional software development experience, including a record of shaping and delivering complex, production-quality distributed systems, platform services, or developer tools at significant scale.
* Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages such as Java, Go, C++, C#, Python, or similar.
* Recognized depth in architecture and system design, with experience evolving APIs, data models, and service ecosystems for scalability, availability, security, operability, and long-term business impact.
* Solid understanding of cloud-native systems, including containers, orchestration, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, or release engineering concepts.
* Demonstrated Senior Principal-level leadership: you can establish technical vision, influence executives and senior engineering leaders, align organizations, and drive sustained outcomes across complex systems.
* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical concepts clear, build durable consensus, and influence decisions across organizational and functional boundaries.
Preferred qualifications: Experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus.
* Application deployment platforms, continuous delivery, GitOps, artifact management, or developer platform engineering.
* Large-scale distributed systems, multi-tenant cloud services, control planes, workflow orchestration, platform architecture, or multi-year technology strategy.
* Reliability engineering, production incident leadership, observability, capacity strategy, or performance engineering for critical cloud infrastructure.
* Security engineering, identity and access management, policy-as-code, supply-chain security, or compliance automation.
* AI-assisted developer tools, agentic workflows, or safety architecture and governance for autonomous or semi-autonomous systems at enterprise scale.
Responsibilities
* Set the long-term architecture, technical strategy, and investment direction for core services and APIs that power OCI's modern application deployment platform.
* Lead pivotal, multi-year platform initiatives that deliver resilient, scalable deployment workflows and reusable primitives for OCI teams and customers.
* Create alignment across organizations and senior stakeholders; turn complex, ambiguous business and technical challenges into coherent platform strategy, engineering principles, and execution roadmaps.
* Define and champion platform-wide safety and reliability standards, including isolation, policy enforcement, auditability, observability, recovery, and safe-by-default deployment patterns.
* Shape OCI's approach to AI- and agent-assisted engineering by establishing scalable technical foundations, governance models, and safeguards that support innovation with appropriate human oversight.
* Identify and drive the highest-leverage opportunities using operational data, customer needs, technology trends, and a deep understanding of the developer ecosystem.
* Act as an organizational multiplier through architecture leadership, technical mentorship, cross-team design governance, and the development of enduring engineering standards and talent.
