Principal Platform Software Engineer

Location: Nashville, TN, United States

Description
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building a next-generation artifact management platform for internal libraries and build artifacts. This platform is a critical part of OCI’s build, deployment, and security patching workflows across internal service teams.

As a Principal Software Developer, you will provide technical leadership in designing and building a scalable, highly available, and reliable artifact management system for OCI. You will lead architecture and implementation for systems that manage, migrate, update, replicate, and serve build artifacts at OCI scale. You will also work closely with service teams, CI/CD stakeholders, and platform partners to ensure seamless integration, operational resilience, and long-term scalability.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing and building scalable distributed systems.
• Strong background in cloud infrastructure, preferably Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
• Experience with CI/CD systems, artifact repositories, or developer productivity platforms.
• Experience with large-scale data migration, data consistency, and production rollout strategies.
• Strong technical leadership skills, including architecture ownership, cross-team collaboration, and mentoring engineers.

As an individual contributor, you will play a key role in developing OCI’s Artifact Management System and migrating artifacts from legacy systems. This role requires both hands-on engineering depth and technical leadership across complex, cross-team initiatives.

Key responsibilities include:

Architecture and Implementation: Design and implement highly scalable services capable of handling high request volume, large artifact datasets, and strict availability requirements.

Large-Scale Migration: Develop and execute strategies for migrating petabytes of historical artifacts from legacy systems to the new platform while ensuring data consistency, integrity, and minimal customer impact.

CI/CD Integration: Integrate the artifact management platform with OCI’s CI/CD workflows and deployment systems across internal service teams.

Technical Leadership: Lead design discussions, drive technical decisions, mentor engineers, and provide high-quality code and design reviews.

Operational Excellence: Define monitoring, alerting, rollout, disaster recovery, and reliability practices to ensure the platform can operate safely at OCI scale.

Continuous Improvement: Track adoption, usage patterns, performance, and operational gaps, and drive improvements that increase scalability, reliability, and customer experience.
