Senior Software Engineer

Short description:

Dev-focused Cloud Automation Developer building cloud-native automation workflows and supporting platform reliability in a DevOps/SRE hybrid role.

Job description:

Cloud Automation Developer: DevOps/SRE

Experience: 4–8 years

Role Overview:

This is a Dev-focused (not Ops-focused) engineering role within our cloud-native, microservices-driven Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The engineer will contribute across both DevOps automation and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) functions.

You will build automation using Python, REST APIs, Ansible, and support platform reliability across Kubernetes, microservices, and OCI. Exposure to security remediation and Oracle OEM/EMCLI is a plus.

This role is ideal for software developers who enjoy solving problems through automation, building platform tooling, and taking ownership of reliability tasks, including periodic on-call/weekend support.

• Support security remediation through automated checks, patching, and configuration updates.
• Use secrets management tools (Vault / OCI Vault) for secure credential and configuration handling.

2. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

• Build observability dashboards and alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, and OCI Monitoring.
• Troubleshoot issues across Kubernetes, microservices, and cloud infrastructure.
• Assist with automated remediation and self-healing workflows.
