Consulting Member of Technical Staff IC5

The ideal candidate will be technically adept, with a proven track record of building highly available, scalable, and redundant services. You understand the value of simplicity in system design, knowing that it makes systems easier to operate, troubleshoot, and scale. You can balance speed and quality, embracing iteration and continuous improvement.

You should have a strong background in operating high-scale services with a deep understanding of how to improve their resilience, performance, scalability, and overall customer experience. You’ll be expected to work independently, drive projects to completion, and provide technical leadership to development teams.

In this role, you’ll contribute to the platform's design and development, overseeing in-house engineering, design reviews, system integration, and operational enhancements. This role isn’t just about shipping features—it’s about elevating engineering standards within OCI. You’ll lead large, impactful projects, collaborate across engineering, product, and operations teams, and mentor engineers at all levels, helping shape a vision for exceptional cloud infrastructure.

Must Have Qualifications:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science or equivalent
• 10+ years of professional experience developing and operating large-scale, distributed systems or cloud-native services.
• Proficiency in Java, Go, or similar object-oriented languages; ability to produce high-quality, performant, and maintainable code.
• Strong knowledge of microservices, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of relational databases, NoSQL systems, storage, and distributed persistence
• Experience with operating at scale — production debugging, performance tuning, capacity modeling, and regional failover strategies.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, influencing architecture and execution across multiple teams, and mentoring other senior engineers. Excellent communication skills, able to articulate complex designs and trade-offs clearly across engineering and product stakeholders.
• Experience with cloud platforms (OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern deployment frameworks (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD).
Knowledge and working experience in cryptography is highly desirable.

Nice to Have Qualifications:

• Experience designing or operating Tier-0 or mission-critical services, with stringent SLAs for availability, latency, and durability.
• Expertise in applying threat modeling or other risk identification techniques to develop security solutions
• Experience and understanding of Cryptograph, DDoS, CVE, CIS, SAST, DAST, or similar security and compliance knowledge
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana) and operational excellence principles (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets).
• Understanding of OCI-specific services, IAM integration, and region/fault-domain isolation models.
