Build the Future of Cloud Compute at Oracle OCI
Are you passionate about systems engineering, virtualization, and building technology at massive scale? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where performance, reliability, and innovation matter every day? If so, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute is looking for engineers like you to help shape the future of cloud computing.
We are seeking a Software Developer to design, develop, troubleshoot, and debug software programs for infrastructure, applications, tools, and related network services. The role involves building reliable solutions, resolving technical issues, improving system performance, and collaborating with engineering teams to support scalable and secure software delivery.
Internal Responsibilities
About the Team
The Virtual Machine Infrastructure Team is responsible for one of the foundational layers of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Virtual Machines. As part of the VM Data Plane team, we design, build, and optimize the virtualization stack that powers customer workloads across OCI.
Our team develops high-performance hypervisors that run on multiple CPU architectures and virtualize critical hardware components — including CPUs, GPUs, and NVMe devices — with near bare-metal performance. We are continuously advancing virtualization technology to deliver secure, highly available, elastic, and industry-leading compute infrastructure for customers around the world.
This is a unique opportunity to work on deeply technical challenges that directly impact OCI’s core cloud platform
As a Lead Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer you will play a key role in designing and delivering major capabilities within Oracle Compute services. You’ll work on large-scale distributed systems and virtualization technologies that demand exceptional performance, scalability, and reliability.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the development of significant features and platform capabilities
- Design and implement highly available, scalable cloud infrastructure
- Collaborate across teams to deliver innovative compute solutions
- Mentor engineers and help raise the technical bar across the organization
- Drive critical engineering initiatives and operational excellence
- Contribute to architectural direction and engineering best practices
What We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking engineers who combine strong systems-level software engineering skills with a passion for solving complex infrastructure problems. Ideal candidates are energized by ownership, collaboration, and building technology that operates at cloud scale.
If you’re excited about virtualization, hypervisors, cloud infrastructure, performance optimization, and building next-generation compute platforms, we’d love to talk to you.
