Full Job Description
Job Description

Our platform provides cloud services for robot registration, identity management, mission orchestration, fleet management, telemetry, digital twins, software lifecycle management, and AI-powered robotic applications.

We are pioneering an AI-driven, spec-based robot onboarding platform that transforms robot integration from a manual engineering effort into an AI-assisted software engineering workflow. Using AI-generated service contracts, edge service specifications, SDKs, and implementation guidance, our platform enables robots from multiple vendors to be integrated rapidly through standardized interfaces and reusable adapters.

Our vision is to make robot onboarding as simple as cloud onboarding-allowing customers and partners to bring new robots online quickly, consistently, and securely.

If you are excited about building distributed cloud services at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and robotics, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Minimum Qualifications
  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of software development experience building backend services or cloud platforms.
  • Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C++.
  • Experience building REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and container orchestration.
  • Experience developing scalable, reliable, and maintainable production software.
  • Strong software design, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • MS in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Experience with robotics software frameworks such as ROS 2.
  • Familiarity with robotics communication technologies such as DDS, MQTT, OPC-UA, VDA5050, or similar industrial protocols.
  • Experience integrating robots, autonomous systems, IoT devices, or edge systems with cloud services.
  • Understanding of robot navigation, localization, perception, teleoperation, mission execution, fleet management, or digital twins.
  • Experience with robot simulation environments such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or Webots.
  • Exposure to AI-powered robotics, embodied AI, vision-language models (VLMs), or agentic AI systems.
  • Familiarity with secure robot identity, edge computing, OTA software deployment, workload identity, or zero-trust architectures.
  • Experience designing service contracts, APIs, SDKs, adapter frameworks, or developer platforms for heterogeneous systems.

Why Join Us
  • Build Oracle's cloud platform for the next generation of intelligent robotics.
  • Work at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, robotics, and edge computing.
  • Help define open cloud interfaces that enable robots from multiple vendors to work together.
  • Pioneer AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding technologies.
  • Collaborate with world-class engineers across OCI AI, Cloud Infrastructure, Security, and Developer Services.
  • Shape Oracle's long-term strategy in cloud robotics and autonomous systems.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and operate cloud-native services for robot registration, identity management, mission orchestration, fleet management, telemetry, digital twins, and software lifecycle management.
  • Build scalable backend services using modern distributed systems and microservice architectures.
  • Design secure APIs, service contracts, SDKs, and edge interfaces that enable seamless integration with robots from multiple vendors.
  • Develop AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding capabilities, using AI to generate and evolve service contracts, integration specifications, adapter implementations, and developer guidance.
  • Build reusable edge service frameworks that simplify robot integration while maintaining consistent cloud interfaces.
  • Collaborate with robotics, AI, cloud infrastructure, and product teams to deliver secure, scalable, and production-ready cloud robotics services.
  • Improve the reliability, scalability, observability, security, and performance of distributed cloud services.
  • Participate in architecture reviews, technical design discussions, code reviews, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Apply software engineering best practices to deliver high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code.


Why this team is different

Unlike traditional robotics teams that focus on individual robots or robot applications, OCI Robotics Cloud is building the cloud platform that powers heterogeneous robot fleets at enterprise scale. We believe robot integration should become an AI-assisted, spec-driven software engineering problem rather than a manual integration effort. Our mission is to enable customers to onboard robots from any vendor through standardized cloud services, common service contracts, and reusable edge adapters-bringing the cloud operating model to robotics.
