Team and Role

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is looking for a Site Reliability Developer to join our Oracle GoldenGate Service Team.

GoldenGate Service is a new multi-tenant, cloud native service for real-time data integration and replication in heterogeneous IT environments. GoldenGate enables users to replicate and integrate data from different sources, including operational and analytics data, as well as real-time data streaming such as Apache Kafka. This service is expected to scale across thousands of tenants and enable transactional change data capture, data replication, transformations between systems. It is based on the successful GoldenGate platform. This cost effective data replication solution is engineered for highest performance and availability to run variety of data integration uses cases of the customers. This is a global team with locations in US, Hungary, Mexico and Oracle’s India Development Centre (IDC) Bangalore.

Site Reliability Developers can have near unlimited scope across availability, durability, maintainability, operability, scalability, etc. We are looking for independent engineers who can help us identity and prioritize projects. This means you might focus on new region automation for a period of time, and then transition to focusing on reducing latency for a specific service next. There is a high degree of autonomy required in this role and we are looking for engineers who want to help drive our roadmap.

The ideal candidate will be technically strong and get a lot done – you've directly worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and redundant. Automation is a core tenet for everything you do. You understand that simple systems are easier to operate and troubleshoot. You can balance speed with iteration and incremental improvements. You've made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements.

Candidates should have broad working knowledge across multiple domains, but we love to see specialization as well. The basics we expect are: Networking, Linux Systems Engineering, Software Engineering/Automation, and Distributed Systems.

 

Experience/Qualifications:

• 5+ years production engineering experience (distributed services or cloud platform experience preferred)
• Proven experience with automation and strong experience in a scripting language (bash, perl, python, etc)
• Solid understanding of Software Engineering and Computer Science principles
• Solid foundation in Linux administration and troubleshooting
• Solid understanding of Networking, Security and Storage
• Experience with Docker
• Understanding Infrastructure as Code concept
• Experience with Terraform and/or Ansible
• Experience in building fully automated CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Hudson, TeamCity, etc)
• Be able to understand and formulate meaningful KPIs and business metrics
• Experience in building/managing/operating cloud services at one of the big cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GPC or OCI) is a big plus

Solve complex problems related to infrastructure cloud services and build automation to prevent problem recurrence. Design, write, and deploy software to improve the availability, scalability, and efficiency of Oracle products and services. Design and develop designs, architectures, standards, and methods for large-scale distributed systems. Facilitate service capacity planning and demand forecasting, software performance analysis, and system tuning.

Work with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team on the shared full stack ownership of a collection of services and/or technology areas. Understand the end-to-end configuration, technical dependencies, and overall behavioral characteristics of production services. Responsible for the design and delivery of the mission critical stack, with focus on security, resiliency, scale, and performance. Authority for end-to-end performance and operability. Partner with development teams in defining and implementing improvements in service architecture. Articulate technical characteristics of services and technology areas and guide Development Teams to engineer and add premier capabilities to the Oracle Cloud service portfolio. Understand and communicate the scale, capacity, security, performance attributes, and requirements of the service and technology stack. Demonstrate clear understanding of automation and orchestration principles. Act as ultimate escalation point for complex or critical issues that have not yet been documented as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Utilize a deep understanding of service topology and their dependencies required to troubleshoot issues and define mitigations. Understand and explain the affect of product architecture decisions on distributed systems. Professional curiosity and a desire to a develop deep understanding of services and technologies.

A BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent. Identifies solutions to knowledge of server hardware and software configuration, networking, standard internet services, scripting languages, cloud computing patterns, technology security and compliance. Experience running large scale customer facing web services. Identifies solutions to understanding of load balancing technologies and experience with development in programming languages, databases and big data stores, and container technologies. Work involves defining and documenting technical architecture of complex and highly scalable products. A minimum of 5+ years experience of running large scale customer facing web services.

As part of Oracle's employment process candidates will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment screening process. This will involve identity and employment verification, professional references, education verification and professional qualifications and memberships (if applicable).
