Senior Platform Software Engineer

Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) is OCI's managed Kubernetes service. OKE enables customers to deploy, operate, and scale Kubernetes clusters on OCI through seamless integration with OCI Compute, Networking, Storage, Identity, Security, Observability, and Developer services. The OKE team owns a highly available 24x7 cloud service and continues to expand the platform with new capabilities, improved scalability, stronger operational excellence, deeper OCI integrations, and support for increasingly demanding cloud-native workloads.

We are looking for a Senior Software Developer (IC3) who enjoys building reliable software systems and solving challenging engineering problems. This role is ideal for engineers with strong software development fundamentals, experience building distributed systems, and a solid understanding of Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.

As part of the OKE team, you will design, develop, test, deploy, and operate software that provisions, upgrades, and manages Kubernetes clusters across OCI regions. You'll work on Kubernetes lifecycle management, distributed control plane services, automation, developer productivity tooling, and platform capabilities while collaborating closely with engineers across OCI to deliver a secure, scalable, and highly available managed Kubernetes service. Engineers on this team have end-to-end ownership—from design and implementation through production operations—and contribute directly to the reliability, scalability, and customer experience of one of OCI's foundational cloud-native services.
