Senior Platform Software Engineer (Java, Microservices & Cloud)

OCI Merino CI/CD Platform Team: OCI - Merino Engineering
Role: IC3 Backend Engineer / Senior Software Engineer
Experience: 4-7 Years - Mandatory
Location: Bangalore - Mandatory
Work Type: Hybrid

Team: The Merino team within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) builds OCI's internal CI/CD change workflow platform for reliable software build, validation, approval, and deployment.

Merino helps OCI engineering teams improve:

- Release automation
- Deployment safety
- Developer productivity
- Change and deployment workflows
- Platform reliability
- Operational excellence

This is a backend/cloud platform engineering team, not a traditional DevOps-only team. The engineer will build the microservices and distributed-system capabilities behind the CI/CD platform.

Roles and Responsibilities:

- Design and develop scalable Java-based microservices and distributed backend services for the Merino platform.
- Build cloud-native capabilities supporting CI/CD, build, validation, approvals, change management, and deployment orchestration.
- Take end-to-end ownership from architecture/design through coding, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
- Design reliable and maintainable REST APIs and service integrations.
- Develop integrations across build systems, release management, approvals, rollback, and deployment workflows.
- Build services with strong focus on scalability, reliability, security, fault tolerance, and maintainability.
- Participate in architecture, HLD/LLD, design reviews, code reviews, and technical planning.
- Participate in on-call/production support and troubleshoot service, API, integration, and distributed-system issues.
- Perform debugging and root-cause analysis (RCA) and implement permanent fixes.
- Drive operational excellence through automation, testing, monitoring, observability, and reliability improvements.




- Handle system upgrades, patching, and remediation of critical vulnerabilities.
- Work with internal customers/stakeholders, understand their requirements/issues and provide effective technical solutions.
- Independently own deliverables and ensure timelines and quality expectations are met.
- Apply modern development practices, including AI-assisted development, while maintaining production-quality coding, testing, and security standards.

Mandatory Skills:

1. Microservices: Strong hands-on experience in:

- Microservices architecture + distributed backend systems + REST APIs + system/service design
- Candidate should have actually designed/developed microservices, not merely worked in an application that uses microservices.

- Cloud: Hands-on experience developing/deploying production services on at least one major cloud:

- OCI / AWS / GCP / Azure
- Should understand cloud-native service development, deployment, and production operations.

- Java Programming: Strong hands-on Java coding is critical.

- Look for: Core Java + Spring Boot + REST APIs + multithreading/concurrency + design patterns + debugging + testing
- Candidate should be capable of independently designing and coding backend services.

- End-to-End Ownership: Candidate should demonstrate:

- Design Development Testing Deployment Monitoring Production Support
- This is particularly important for Merino. The candidate should not be someone who only develops features and hands them over to another team.

Good to Have Skills:

- CI/CD platform or developer-platform engineering
- Jenkins / GitHub Actions / GitLab CI or similar
- Docker and Kubernetes
- OCI / AWS / GCP / Azure
- Kafka / Pub-Sub / SQS or other asynchronous/event-driven technologies

- Experience reviewing/testing AI-generated code for production use

Responsibilities:

4-7 year hands-on Java Backend Engineer who has designed Spring Boot microservices/distributed systems on AWS/GCP/Azure/OCI and owns services end-to-end from design and coding through deployment, monitoring, and production/on-call support. CI/CD/platform engineering exposure is highly preferred.
