Senior Engineer, Core Infrastructure

Job description

We are looking for seasoned and talented developers to join the Observability & Supervision team within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Our team is part of Autonomous OCI, a new service platform powering OCI services that encompasses low-level execution runtime, application management and high-level workflows for change management. Our mission is to help OCI developers concentrate on building their services while we ensure they run efficiently and reliably at cloud scale. Observability & Supervision is how AOCI sees and heals itself. We build the systems that collect and query metrics and logs across the fleet, evaluate the health of every workload in real time, and decide what to do when something goes wrong. Our goal is an autonomous platform: one that detects, diagnoses and recovers from failures on its own, scales itself ahead of demand, and escalates to humans only when it truly needs to. This means building low-latency, highly available distributed systems where milliseconds and correctness matter, and where the platform is only as reliable as the component watching over it. These are exciting times, and our team is still new and growing. This is your opportunity to build ambitious new initiatives with broad impact across OCI. We need you to challenge existing engineering assumptions and boundaries, bring your expertise in highly performant, reliable software engineering and help us bring OCI to the next level. We are looking for engineers who are self-motivated, passionate about solving complex software challenges, and able to dive deep into systems to understand and improve them. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn. What You Will Do • Design and build the supervision control loop of the Kilt platform: health evaluation, automated recovery, escalation policies and self-healing workflows. • Build scalable telemetry pipelines for metrics and logs, including ingestion, storage, querying and alerting, operating at OCI fleet scale. • Develop platform triggers that drive autonomous actions such as recovery and autoscaling from live platform state, with tight end-to-end latency budgets. • Write performance-critical, memory-safe services in Rust alongside Java and Go components. • Engineer for high availability: replication, partitioning, failover and graceful degradation, validated through load, performance and chaos testing. • Partner with runtime, compute and service teams across OCI to make observability and recovery a built-in property of every service running on Kilt.
