Senior Architect for Workflow Orchestration

Job Description

Join us as a Senior Architect to drive the evolution of one of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's most vital services—a robust workflow orchestration engine designed for seamless coordination in creating cloud resources across various services. This is a unique opportunity to influence the architecture of a foundational cloud service that will shape the future of Oracle Cloud.

Every time a customer provisions a resource within OCI, numerous distributed operations must execute reliably. Our Workflow platform is essential in ensuring successful provisioning, automatically managing failures, and rolling back transactions when necessary.

Currently, this platform handles tens of billions of transactions annually and is a cornerstone of OCI's offering. As we expand to meet the increasing demand for cloud services, you will play a key role in architecting the next generation of this system to ensure enhanced scale, performance, resiliency, and multi-tenant capabilities.

Mentor and guide senior engineers, providing technical leadership in a rapidly growing team.

Stay ahead of emerging technologies, evaluating where custom innovations can provide a strategic edge.

Required Qualifications:

Significant experience in designing and building large-scale distributed systems.

Deep expertise in high-performance backend architecture, distributed transactions, and fault-tolerant systems.

Experience in developing or enhancing foundational infrastructure platforms at cloud scale.

Proven ability to influence architectural decisions across multiple engineering teams and organizations.

Demonstrated technical leadership on complex, business-critical systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working with workflow orchestration platforms or distributed workflow engines.
