Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability and cost-effective infrastructure services. OCI Storage spans Object Storage, File Storage and Block Storage. All three services are planet scale, infinitely scalable, large distributed services handling Petabytes of data and billions of requests. Customers can self-service provision block volumes for their Compute instances, create File Systems and Object Storage buckets through a unified web console, APIs, CLI or via industry standard tools such as Terraform and Chef.

The Site reliability engineering (SRE) discipline in OCI incorporates the ethos of software engineering and applies it large scale operations problems. As a SRE your primary goals are to create highly reliable and ultra-scalable software systems to manage the operations of our services.

A SRE will spend a significant amount of their time doing "ops" related work such as production issues and service on-call. When not working on operations the SRE is working on software engineering tasks such as design and development of systems that increase our reliability, scalability and reduce operational overhead through automation. The ideal SRE candidate is proficient programmer who has large breadth of knowledge and experience including areas such as networking, internet protocols and Linux systems.

Our SREs are close partners with service owners in all aspects of service operations and ownership. We have a strong culture of innovation, collaboration and team work inspired by the DevOps philosophy.

• ·         Work closely with development team on maintaining operational health of core compute services for API availability and low latency
• ·         Managing and triaging tickets. Driving prioritization and execution of work based on impact.
• ·         Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms such as easy to use tooling and automation. Work in concert with service developers to evolve systems/products for better scalability, reliability and development velocity
• ·         Drives new runbooks to help reduce mean triage time of incidents. Prioritize and automate high hit count runbooks
• ·         Practice sustainable incident response and drive root case analysis

• ·         BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding or equivalent practical experience
• ·         Understanding of Linux operating systems and Linux system administration
• ·         Strong understanding of Linux/Unix commands
• ·         Experience automating tasks with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, and JavaScript
• ·         Systematic problem-solving approach, strong communication skills, a sense of ownership and drive
• ·         Deep understand of service metrics and alarms through the development of dashboards, service KPIs, alarming systems
• ·         Experience working in an operational environment with mission critical tier one services with associated pager duty
