Description
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.
- Solid 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 conc
