More:

We are collaborating with hackajob to connect exceptional professionals with Oracle. At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, our Robotics Cloud team is building a secure, scalable, cloud-native platform to onboard, manage, monitor, and operate diverse robot fleets across industries. We aim to make robot onboarding as straightforward as cloud onboarding, using AI-assisted, specification-driven workflows, standardized interfaces, and reusable adapters. Unlike teams focused on individual robots or applications, we are building an enterprise-scale cloud platform for heterogeneous fleets. Youll work at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, robotics, and edge computing, collaborating with engineers across OCI AI, Cloud Infrastructure, Security, and Developer Services, and helping shape our strategy for cloud robotics and autonomous systems. The U.S. hiring range is $96,800–$306,400 per year, with potential eligibility for bonus, equity, and deferred compensation; placement depends on experience, skills, market conditions, location, and internal equity. Our U.S. benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance; disability and life insurance; flexible spending accounts; commuter and parking benefits; a 401(k) plan with company match; paid vacation, 11 holidays, and sick leave; parental leave; adoption assistance; an employee stock purchase plan; financial planning and group legal services; and voluntary auto, home, and pet insurance.
