**Responsibilities **
We’re seeking visionary technical leaders who excel at defining and executing at-scale system and data-plane architectures in the public cloud. As a recognized expert, you will deliver complex solutions for one of the two new OCI services:
- Key value store is a fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service. It delivers fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability, automatically handling infrastructure management, capacity provisioning, security, and backups. It is designed to support high-volume, real-time workloads, consistently providing single-digit millisecond latency for both reads and writes, regardless of scale.
- A journaling service that reliably and efficiently records sequential, immutable logs (journal entries) of operations or transactions, with architecture designed to support increases in workload (scalability), while consistently delivering very fast response times for both recording and retrieving journal entries (low latency).
You will mentor senior engineers, drive strategy, and be responsible for cross-team alignment and delivery of mission-critical services. You are respected for providing technical direction, simplifying complexity, improving operational outcomes, and raising the engineering bar throughout the organization. Your influence reaches across product, engineering, and operational teams, and you routinely collaborate with executive leadership to set and realize long-term strategy.
With your superb technical, research and analytical capabilities and demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively to delight our customers, you will envision, collaborate with executives for investment and drive the software design and development for new major data-plane components of Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure. You will define the foundations for the next generation of OCI data-planes, making deep architectural changes calls as an outstanding builder and technical leader with an established industry track record of success in leading large cloud scale projects.
You will take an active role in the definition and evolution of standard practices and procedures. You will perform software development tasks associated with the developing, designing and debugging of software applications or operating systems. You will be able to work with Engineering Managers and TPMs, and providing direct guidance to junior team members. You can go from high level system design, writing architectural documentation and driving engineering peer reviews to hands-on prototyping, code reviews and project bootstrapping. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument your service. You understand operational excellence and how to instill a culture of high quality and customer focus.
