As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the software design and development of major components of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You should be a curious problem solver, a distributed systems generalist, and a hands-on software developer with exposure to Linux, systems fundamentals, and systems troubleshooting. You should be eager to explore different parts of the stack, understand low-level system behavior, and design and build scalable distributed services. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn. This role resides within the Compute Bare Metal Provisioning team, which owns the critical infrastructure responsible for automating the full server lifecycle—from new platform and shape creation to hardware bring-up, customer-ready instance provisioning, and firmware management. Our services operate at the intersection of bare metal hardware and full-stack orchestration frameworks, bringing together distributed systems development, Linux, and firmware integration. The team interfaces directly with components such as BMCs, NICs, SmartNICs, ILOMs, GPUs, and custom firmware stacks. You will write code, design services, and build tooling that provisions, configures, secures, and validates server platforms across OCI’s massive fleet of Compute and GPU infrastructure. You will partner closely with teams across Compute, Networking, Security, Data Center Engineering, and Hardware Development to help OCI launch, scale, and maintain new server platforms with high reliability and minimal operational overhead. You will work directly with cutting-edge GPU hardware and see the impact of your work on the business. You will join a smart, motivated, and diverse team with the autonomy and support to do your best work. This role offers significant opportunities for growth and hands-on learning, allowing you to expand your skills in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, Linux, hardware integration, and firmware orchestration. You will build on your existing strengths while developing new expertise through challenging engineering problems and collaboration with experienced colleagues. If you are interested in building large-scale distributed infrastructure for the cloud, writing software for cutting-edge GPU infrastructure and the latest Compute systems, and expanding your Linux and systems skills, this is your team. Oracle is aggressively investing in Oracle Cloud to provide the broadest, most comprehensive cloud in the industry.
