Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer - AI Infrastructure

As a Principal Member of Technical Staff, you will own the software design and development for major components of Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure. You should be both a rock-solid lead developer, curious problem solver, a distributed systems generalist and/or skilled Linux engineer with Systems triage experiance able to dive deep into any part of the stack and low-level systems to design broad distributed system interactions. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.

This role resides within the Compute AI Infrastructure Bare Metal Provisioning team, which owns the critical infrastructure responsible for automating the full server lifecycle from new platform shape (AMD/Intel/Arm/Nvidia) creation, hardware bring-up to customer-ready instance provisioning and firmware management. The services operate at the intersection of bare metal hardware and full-stack orchestration frameworks, a unique combination where both distributed systems engineers and engineers with background in Linux and firmware are highly valued. The team interfaces directly with components like BMCs, NICs, SmartNICs, ILOMs, GPUs, and custom firmware stacks. The team builds high performance, scalable micro-services and tooling that provision, configure, secure, and validate server platforms across OCI’s massive fleet of Compute and GPU Infrastructure. You will partner closely across other teams in Compute, Networking, Security, Data center Engineering, and Hardware Development to ensure OCI can launch, scale, and maintain new server platforms with minimal operational overhead and high reliability. You will work directly with cutting edge GPU hardware and see the direct impact of your work on the business.

We strive for equity, inclusion, and respect for all. We are committed to the greater good in our products and our actions. We are constantly learning and taking opportunities to grow our careers and ourselves. We challenge each other to stretch beyond our past to build our future.

You are the builder here. You will be part of a team of really smart, motivated, and diverse people and given the autonomy and support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged.

If you are interested in building large-scale distributed infrastructure for the cloud, want to work on cutting edge GPU infrastructure and the latest Compute systems, have a knack for distributed systems and/or Linux development with Systems experiance then this is your team! Oracle is aggressively investing in the Oracle Cloud to provide the broadest, most comprehensive cloud in the industry.
