Senior Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure

About the role

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build software for a new Data Processing Unit (DPU) platform spanning networking and storage. You will work on problems such as efficient packet processing, moving data between host and DPU, and maintaining correct behavior under load and failures.

You will independently own well-defined features or bounded components, including detailed design, implementation, testing, and integration. You will make implementation decisions within agreed interfaces and architectural boundaries, partnering with experienced engineers when a change affects the broader system. Storage familiarity is required; deeper storage experience is especially valuable.

What you will do

• Own feature delivery. Turn defined objectives into detailed designs, maintainable code, tests, and integrated features. Identify dependencies and communicate progress and risks early.
• Build efficient data paths. Implement packet forwarding, encapsulation, virtual networking, policy, or storage integration features. Evaluate correctness and resource usage under representative traffic conditions.
• Make sound implementation decisions. Choose data structures, synchronization, and memory management approaches within the component architecture. Explain tradeoffs in design and code reviews.
• Measure performance. Use benchmarks, packet captures, and profiling tools to diagnose throughput, latency, CPU, and memory issues. Demonstrate improvements with repeatable measurements.
• Connect networking and storage. Understand the basic storage I/O path and investigate how network behavior affects latency and throughput, working with networking and storage partners.
• Build for production. Add useful instrumentation, test error paths and recovery, and contribute to release validation. Diagnose and fix issues in the features you own during integration and production support.
• Collaborate and share expertise. Review code, document interfaces and debugging findings, and help teammates solve problems. Raise proposals when local improvements require architectural changes.
• Use AI tools responsibly. Review and validate AI outputs used in coding, testing, debugging, and documentation. Remain accountable for correctness and share uses that reduce repetitive work and improve the team's experience.
