Software Developer 4

Description

About the Team
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) Identity and Access Management (IAM) team builds and operates the foundational services that secure OCI — enabling customers to control who has access to their cloud resources across global regions. The team designs and delivers large-scale, distributed systems that ensure reliability, performance, and consistency for millions of users worldwide.

About the Role
We are looking for experienced distributed systems engineers who thrive in designing and operating high-scale services. You will drive the design, development, and deployment of critical features within OCI’s Identity Control Plane — powering user, group, and policy management across Oracle Cloud.

As a key contributor, you will:

Design and deliver core features from concept to production with strong technical ownership.

Operate and scale highly available and resilient distributed services handling millions of requests per second.

Improve system reliability, observability, and performance through automation and proactive monitoring.

Balance speed and quality through iterative development and continuous improvement.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define priorities, enhance developer experience, and uphold operational excellence.

Key Challenges & Opportunities
You will help us tackle some of the most complex scaling and reliability problems in cloud infrastructure today. As OCI continues to grow, our services must evolve to handle exponentially increasing workloads, survive regional outages, and maintain strict consistency and security standards. This role offers the opportunity to influence architectural decisions and build systems that directly impact global customers and developers.

Required Qualifications

6+ years of experience in distributed systems or service engineering.

Proven track record designing, building, and operating high-traffic, highly available web services.

Strong proficiency in Java, C++, C#, or similar object-oriented languages.

Experience with RESTful web services and service-oriented architectures.

Proficiency with at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash) for automation and tooling.

Preferred Qualifications

Domain knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts.

Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, etc.).

Experience with multi-AD/AZ architectures and regional data center designs.

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment frameworks.

Experience with Docker or containerized service development.

Background in security, including threat modeling or risk assessment.

Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP or PCI DSS.

Experience collaborating with internal customers and driving roadmap priorities.

Why Join Us
You’ll be part of a team that’s redefining how cloud identity systems scale and perform. You’ll build globally distributed, high-throughput services that form the backbone of Oracle Cloud — and see your work directly enable customers to run secure, reliable workloads worldwide.
