As a part of OCI Core Services, the Virtual Networking org at India Design Center is building new Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies that operate and enable a high scale broadly distributed multi-tenant cloud. Other services, engineers and customers on cloud consume these core services.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Global Network Engineering offers options to manage OCI's Edge connectivity and traffic to provide higher availability and cost efficiency to OCI and its customers. Our team builds cloud native services to provide internal and external customers with these options via CLI, GUI and direct API integrations.

The key to a great experience for OCI customers is to have a way to reliably send their traffic without worrying about any network degradations that may exist. The Global autonomous IRC in an OCI region will shape the Internet traffic as it flows in to OCI and through its backbone across to other OCI regions. For OCI, it means to be able to cater to the ever-increasing traffic and scale requirements of our customers, have high availability inbuilt into the network architecture and offer a set of sophisticated and powerful features that our operators and customers can benefit from. Congestion issues in Internet transit can have a direct impact on the services that OCI customers run which translates to an impact on business revenues. The Path Computation Engine employs the use of network telemetry and AI to apply smart throttles and perform active traffic engineering to provide customers with uninterrupted connectivity to OCI. The Backbone Health Reporter is an availability reporting service that employs complex algorithms to calculate the available bandwidth over the distributed backbone network. The role of a Principal Software Engineer is business critical for consistently raising the bar for high availability and delivering cutting-edge features that OCI and its customers benefit from. They are technical leaders who independently work on features or lead a team to deliver large projects and build new services. They support all production and customer issues and set the culture of the team the most. They are owners of complex operational excellence deliverables for their services. This is a great opportunity for you if you are interested in solving complex problems and making a significant impact on the quality of cloud technologies and customer experience on a daily basis.

As a developer, you will contribute to the development and automation of these services in a global agile team. You should be comfortable at building complex distributed systems that interact with end users at one end and network infrastructure at the other. Your ability to identify and mitigate risks in your projects and across your functional team is an important measure of your success in this role. You will also be responsible for the reliability and high availability of our service in the production environment as a part of a rotational on-call roster. You should be passionate and highly skilled in programming in object oriented programming languages, specifically Java and Go and be able to write clean code consistently. Knowledge and Development experience on networking stack (L2/L3/L4) and understanding of operating systems will be a bonus and will enable you to succeed in this team. You should also be ready to learn a new language or technology when a there’s a need. Writing structured and optimised code for improving performance and scalability when it is deployed in a cloud environment as a part of a service operating in a distributed environment is one of the most critical requirements.

The OCI Core teams have a highly collaborative work culture. Your ability to take initiative in an ever changing environment to own results and deliver value to the customers will determine your success in our organisation.
