About this role
Designs, implements, and optimizes components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Delivers features and load/performance tests; leverages data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval, storage, and processing; and reviews peers’ implementations for scalability compliance. Builds fault-tolerant paths (redundancy, replication, automatic failover), applies recovery‑oriented principles, and implements retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts. Proactively detects and mitigates issues via tests, alarms, dashboards, and telemetry; authors runbooks and participates in incident response and RCAs. Implements standard replication and synchronization, develops automation/IaC for troubleshooting and maintenance, and applies advanced security controls (encryption, access, remediation) while ensuring change, compliance, and documentation standards are met. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Workflow is a Tier 0 service that is critical to the smooth functioning of ALL basic OCI services by enabling their execution of distributed, multi-step work in a fault tolerant manner. An engineer on this team is responsible for the development of features making the platform more resilient and efficient including the launch of a brand new V2 version, as well as the operational excellence of the service, as we scale to meet OCI's exponential growth needs.
