Software Developer 4

We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to design, build, and operate cloud-native services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You will own service architecture and delivery for high-availability, high-throughput systems, with a strong emphasis on API design, automation, observability, and security. The ideal candidate brings deep experience with Java/Python microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, and cloud networking/security. You will collaborate across security, operations/SRE, product, and customer-facing teams; mentor engineers; and drive roadmaps that improve reliability, performance, and developer velocity.

You will lead initiatives that integrate with core OCI services, enhance our code-signing and software supply chain posture, and expand automation to reduce toil and improve consistency. Success in this role means delivering resilient services (meeting SLOs), accelerating safe releases, and championing best practices for secure, compliant operations in a global enterprise environment.
