Principal Software Developer

Oracle Oracle · Enterprise · Austin, TX +1

The Principal Software Developer role at Oracle's AI Infrastructure organization focuses on building and scaling GPU-focused cloud infrastructure for AI workloads. The role involves designing and developing solutions for AI compute infrastructure components like GPU control and data planes, optimizing performance and reliability, and providing technical leadership. This is an engineering role focused on the infrastructure that serves AI, rather than building AI models directly.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and develop solutions to scale and optimize AI compute infrastructure components like GPU control plane and GPU data plane with the goal to optimize customer experience and customer workload performance on our AI infrastructure.
  2. Develop “best-in-class” AI compute infrastructure for our customers by ensuring that the services and the components are well-defined and modularized, secure, reliable, diagnosable, actively monitored, compliant and reusable.
  3. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including development, operations, and product management, to understand their requirements and design innovative orchestration solutions.
  4. Mentor junior developers and drive modern software engineering practices like leveraging data/telemetry to make decisions, well-defined interfaces across components, design reviews, coding standards, code reviews, and comprehensive coverage from unit test, integration test and active production monitoring.
  5. Develop benchmark metrics and automation to drive and track performance and reliability across customer workload and lower infrastructure stack.
