Senior Platform Software Engineer, AI

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) Developer Platform Tools and Services organisation builds the next generation of developer productivity platforms, intelligent development workflows, and AI-powered engineering tools and platforms that accelerate software delivery across the enterprise.

We are seeking a Senior Platform Software Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable services that improve the developer experience and increase engineering productivity. You will work across platform engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native technologies, machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and developer tooling.

A key focus of this role is building a new AI-native testing platform that learns real-world service behavior, generates realistic test traffic, safely validates workloads, and detects regressions with minimal manual test authoring. Its closed-loop workflow observes changing traffic patterns, executes and evaluates tests, and continuously improves future coverage. You will help take this platform from early architecture through production deployment and enterprise-wide adoption, working with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and OCI service teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, deploy, and operate highly available platform services for developer productivity and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

• Lead the architecture and delivery of scalable systems that analyze service behavior, model traffic patterns, generate realistic workloads, and evaluate results.

• Develop agent-assisted workflows that plan, execute, and evaluate canary, functional, integration, load, and performance tests within defined safety controls.

• Apply machine learning and LLM capabilities to service telemetry, API changes, incidents, test results, and engineering knowledge.

• Build safe traffic-generation and workload-modeling systems that reflect production usage, service dependencies, and changing traffic patterns.

• Develop evaluation and diagnostic capabilities for functional correctness, latency, error rates, reliability, scalability, and regression detection.

• Provide actionable explanations of failures, including what changed, likely sources of impact, and how to reproduce an issue.

• Automate the conversion of incidents, failed canaries, and detected regressions into reusable test coverage.

• Design APIs, data pipelines, and integrations that make intelligent testing capabilities accessible across OCI engineering teams.

• Establish strong practices for reliability, observability, security, privacy, performance, and responsible AI while mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Four or more years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems.

• Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages, such as Java, Go, Python, or C++.

• Strong knowledge of system design, algorithms, data structures, concurrency, APIs, and scalable architectures.

• Experience building backend services, distributed systems, microservices, event-driven applications, or large-scale data pipelines.

• Experience developing and operating software in cloud environments using CI/CD, containerization, and cloud-native architectures.

• Experience with service testing, reliability, observability, performance engineering, or production operations.

• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems using logs, metrics, traces, telemetry, and production data.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives across teams, communicate architectural decisions clearly, and deliver high-quality production software.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building developer platforms, CI/CD systems, testing frameworks, or engineering productivity tools.

• Experience developing or integrating production solutions using machine learning, generative AI, or LLMs.

• Familiarity with AI agents, tool-using models, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering, or LLM evaluation techniques.

• Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers, or equivalent technologies.

• Experience with traffic replay, workload modeling, canary analysis, load testing, performance testing, or chaos engineering.

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, service meshes, and OCI or another major public cloud.

• Experience analyzing API schemas, code changes, service dependencies, incidents, and production traffic.

• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing architecture across teams.

Why Join Us

• Shape a new AI-native developer platform from foundational architecture through production adoption.

• Build systems that improve how thousands of engineers develop, test, and release software.

• Solve complex, real-world problems spanning distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, machine learning, and generative AI.

• Help engineering teams reduce manual testing, detect regressions earlier, diagnose failures faster, and release with greater confidence.

• Work with experienced engineers, data scientists, product managers, and OCI service teams while expanding your technical influence and expertise.
