DescriptionJob Description
We’re looking for hands-on engineer with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in distributed systems, virtualized infrastructure, and highly available services. If this is you, at Oracle you can design and build innovative new systems from the ground up. These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact.
The secret of Cloud is that the Cloud itself still has to run on actual computers somewhere. In Substrate Compute, we are the silent heroes who build and operate the systems that interface with the machines so that the rest of OCI can build the Cloud our customers use. We handle new hardware ingestion, automated fault detection and repair, and internal provisioning. Our problem space spans flashing firmware on devices and base operating systems, to container orchestration infrastructure. In Substrate we are the bottom turtle, without us there’s nowhere for the rest of the cloud to run.
