At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), we build the future of the cloud for enterprises. We combine the
pace and ownership of a start-up with the scale, reliability, and customer focus required to run one of
the world’s leading enterprise cloud platforms.
Internal Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
• Design and implement control-plane services and APIs for DNS zones, records, views, policies, and
routing configuration.
• Build reliable workflows for validation, change orchestration, propagation, reconciliation, and
lifecycle management across distributed DNS infrastructure.
• Develop production services and libraries primarily in Java, with supporting automation in Python
where needed, and a strong focus on API design and correctness.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools and agentic workflows to accelerate implementation, testing,
incident investigation, and operational automation, with appropriate human review, security, and
quality controls.
• Improve safety and operational resilience through idempotent workflows, optimistic concurrency,
auditability, rollback paths, canary releases, and feature flags.
• Own observability and operational readiness: metrics, logs, tracing, SLOs, runbooks, capacity
planning, and thoughtful on-call participation.
• Partner with DNS data plane, security, networking, and SRE teams to deliver secure, end-to-end
platform improvements.
• Contribute technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and
mentoring of other engineers.
Required Qualifications
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and
operating resilient production services.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade distributed systems, cloud services,
and/or control-plane platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Java, including production service development, concurrent programming, and
performance troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to improve
design, code generation, testing, troubleshooting, and process automation while maintaining strong
engineering judgment.
• Strong API design skills, including RESTful service design and OpenAPI/Swagger or comparable
API contracts.
• Experience designing reliable stateful workflows, including asynchronous processing, retries,
idempotency, concurrency control, and failure recovery.
• Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and highly available distributed
systems.
• Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
ORACLE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE | ENGINEERING
Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer — DNS Control Plane
Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration automation, especially Terraform and tools
such as Ansible or Chef.
• Strong testing discipline across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, with a commitment to
secure and safe rollout practices.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across
organizational boundaries.
Preferred Qualifications
• DNS expertise, including authoritative DNS, zone and record management, DNS delegation, TTLs,
DNSSEC, and DNS change propagation.
• Experience with cloud control planes, resource lifecycle management, or multi-tenant platform APIs.
• Knowledge of internet protocols and security standards, including DNS, TLS, HTTP, and REST.
• Experience with relational or distributed data stores and schema evolution for highly available
services.
• Familiarity with modern CI/CD platforms such as OCI DevOps, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD,
and engineering productivity tools including Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence.
• Experience operating mission-critical services in a 24/7 environment.
What Success Looks Like
• You deliver control-plane capabilities that make DNS changes safer, faster, and easier for
customers and internal operators.
• You improve the reliability, auditability, and operability of DNS configuration workflows at scale.
• You raise engineering standards through pragmatic design, rigorous testing, and collaborative
technical leadership.
