Full Job Description
Job Description

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.

Responsibilities

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.
