As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will own the design and development of major components that improve the developer experience for software teams building Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You should be a rock-solid coder and distributed systems generalist who values simplicity, scale, collaboration, and continuous learning. This role also calls for embracing AI-native development to accelerate delivery, improve engineering workflows, and rethink how OCI teams build, test, operate, and evolve software. After onboarding, you will be expected to provide technical leadership to other software developers.

AI-First Engineering Expectations

• Demonstrate practical experience using AI-assisted techniques and tools to improve developer productivity and software quality, including faster prototyping, stronger test coverage, safer refactoring, better documentation, and improved operational workflows.
• Apply an AI-native engineering mindset to day-to-day work: generating and validating code suggestions, creating and maintaining tests, improving observability and runbooks, and rethinking how software teams build, test, operate, and evolve cloud infrastructure.
• Understand and follow enterprise security and privacy requirements when using AI tooling, including protecting sensitive data and using approved tools and workflows.
