Software Developer 3
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Security and Compliance Platform Engineering organization offers a unique opportunity to help build the next generation of AI-driven cybersecurity solutions at cloud scale. Our mission is to protect OCI, Oracle, and our global customers by developing intelligent, autonomous security systems capable of detecting, investigating, and mitigating evolving cyber threats in real time.
As part of this team, you will work on highly scalable, low-latency distributed systems that ingest and process massive volumes of telemetry, security events, and operational data across OCI. We leverage cutting-edge technologies including Generative AI (GenAI), Large Language Models (LLMs), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced analytics to build adaptive security platforms that continuously improve their ability to identify and respond to threats.
This role provides the opportunity to design and develop large-scale data pipelines, distributed databases, cloud-native services, and AI-powered security capabilities that operate at one of the world's largest cloud infrastructures. You will collaborate with engineers, architects, data scientists, and security experts to solve complex technical challenges while delivering innovative solutions that directly impact the security posture of Oracle Cloud.
If you are passionate about building high-scale distributed systems, working with big data and AI technologies, and shaping the future of cloud security, we invite you to join us in redefining cybersecurity for the cloud era.
