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.
- 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 acrossorganizational 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.
