Job Description

Big Data Service team’s charter is to offer a managed, cloud-native Big Data Service focused on large-scale data processing and analytics on unstructured data stored in data lakes, and management of the data in data lakes. The service work scope encompasses not just good integration with OCI’s native infrastructure (security, cloud, storage, etc.) but also deep integration with other relevant cloud-native services in OCI (like Oracle Kubernetes, Data Catalog, ADW, etc.). It includes doing cloud-native ways of doing service level patching & upgrades and maintaining high availability of the service in the face of random failures & planned downtimes in the underlying infrastructure (e.g., for things like patching the Linux kernels to take care of a security vulnerability). Developing systems for monitoring and getting telemetry into the service’s runtime characteristics and being able to take actions on the telemetry data is a part of the charter.

We are interested in senior engineers with expertise and passion for solving difficult problems in distributed systems and highly available services. At Oracle, you can help, shape, design, and build innovative new systems from the ground up. These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. Engineers at any level can have significant technical and business impact.
