Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is one of the fastest-growing cloud platforms, and we are assembling a world-class team to build the next generation of security products. We’re seeking a Principal Software Engineer to drive the design and development of mission-critical systems that protect OCI customers at hyperscale.

As a Principal Engineer in the Security Products Group, you will play a key leadership role in:

Architecting and delivering complex, distributed systems with a focus on security, resiliency, and scalability. Driving strategic technical decisions and shaping the long-term vision for OCI’s security offerings. Mentoring engineers, influencing cross-team engineering practices, and raising the technical bar across the organization. Leading design reviews, setting coding standards, and fostering a culture of operational excellence.

What You’ll Do:

Lead design and development of major features and large-scale systems from concept to production. Set the direction for platform architecture and system design in areas such as identity, data protection, threat detection, and vulnerability management. Operate and improve high-scale services, driving initiatives to increase reliability, observability, and automation. Collaborate across teams and orgs to align architecture, resolve dependencies, and ensure delivery of high-impact security capabilities.

What We’re Looking For:

Deep experience in building and operating distributed systems at scale. Proven ability to design and deliver complex features with cross-cutting impact. Hands-on experience with services operating across regions and subject to strict compliance and regulatory requirements. Strong coding skills and the ability to dive deep into technical details across the stack—from low-level systems internals to API design. A bias for simplicity, a passion for scale, and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
