Overview

Oracle Media Services is hiring a Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer, IC4, to help lead Studio in the Cloud: a product line focused on enabling studio-grade creative workloads on OCI. This individual contributor will own ambiguous features from the design stage through production readiness, with emphasis on OCI Batch, Global Object Storage, customer-critical blockers, and operational maturity.

 
Why OCI
 
OCI is building cloud infrastructure for demanding media, creative, AI, and high-performance workloads where scale, reliability, cost, and customer trust all matter. This role offers the chance to shape how studios run production-grade creative workflows in the cloud while improving the engineering systems, operational practices, and AI-enabled delivery patterns that make customer adoption repeatable.
 
Org Job Duties
 
Leads development and begins architecting components of scalable, elastic distributed systems. Defines and enforces scalability requirements for owned components; optimizes code and data paths for high‑throughput, hyper‑scale workloads; and leverages data plane platforms for large‑scale retrieval, storage, and processing. Designs fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable systems using redundancy, replication, failover, and policies for partitions, applying load‑shedding, throttling, and rate‑limiting to handle network unreliability while meeting SLOs. Establishes KPIs and telemetry; builds proactive dashboards and alerts; and designs complex validation (fault injection, brownouts), replication, and synchronization for correctness and durability. Proactively diagnoses and resolves production issues, mentors peers, and ensures operational readiness. Implements robust security controls, executes remediation, maintains compliance documentation, and develops IaC and automation that enable safe patching, updates, and rollbacks within change‑management plans.
