OCI Container Instances is OCI's managed serverless container offering. It
enables customers to deploy, operate, and scale containerized workloads without
managing a container-orchestration platform, while integrating with OCI Compute,
Networking, Storage, Identity, Security, Observability, and developer services.

We are seeking a Principal Platform Software Engineer (IC4) to build
reliable systems at the intersection of Linux, virtualization, container
runtimes, and public-cloud infrastructure. This is a hands-on engineering role
for someone who can move comfortably from production Java code to Linux
internals, container isolation, hypervisor and guest behavior, image and package
pipelines, performance diagnosis, secure rollout, and operational ownership.

As part of the Container Instances Data Plane team, you will design, develop,
test, deploy, and operate software that provisions, upgrades, and manages
containers across OCI regions. You will work on Linux hypervisor and guest
images, lifecycle-management components, container runtimes, QEMU/KVM-based
virtualization, systemd,



networking, storage, security, and automated image
delivery. You will own substantial components end to end and help shape
technical direction, reliability, scalability, and customer experience.
Required Qualifications
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent
practical experience.
- Approximately 6+ years of relevant production software or systems-engineering
experience, or demonstrably equivalent IC4-level scope.
- Strong production programming experience with Java 17 or later.
- Robust hands-on Linux systems engineering and kernel-level debugging,
including substantial understanding of processes, services, namespaces, cgroups,
systemd, networking, storage, and operating-system behavior.
- Deep container engineering beyond application-level use: experience building
and troubleshooting container images and working with runtime or isolation
concepts such as
