Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION

At the heart of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are Oracle hardware systems and our advanced Cloud Software stack.

Would you like to:

• Make an impact at the leading edge of Cloud infrastructure?
• Contribute to foundational security for Cloud servers?
• Solve technical challenges across performance, scale, and security?

If yes, join us as a Senior Software Engineer working on Root of Trust (RoT) firmware for OCI servers.

About The Team

OCI’s bare metal cloud offering gives customers access to the bare-metal hardware and lower-level components and software stacks for maximum control and performance—but introduces heightened security needs. Our team secures this environment by designing, implementing, and validating the firmware that underpins our chain of trust. We ensure hosts can be securely wiped/attested and provisioned across the infrastructure.

We also build companion software to enable secure provisioning and access to key subsystems.

About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on secure firmware and system management technologies for enterprise-grade security products deployed in Oracle Cloud. Collaborate closely with team members and partner teams to develop, improve, and validate our firmware solutions.

You’ll contribute to design and development at all software stages—from concept to release—and gain exposure to low-level hardware interfaces, firmware, user-facing tooling, and large-scale distributed systems.

You will:

• Develop and enhance secure system management firmware and software, leveraging industry standards and custom extensions for Oracle’s needs.
• Help ensure secure, scalable, and maintainable code.
• Participate in all phases of product development: rapid prototyping, bring-up, debugging, implementation and testing.

Our product environment covers embedded device development (C/C++), systems management tools (Python, bash), and service software (Java/Python).
