Job Description
**Job Description**
**Basic qualifications**
+ 6+ years building production backend systems (at least 3 years in high-scale or low-latency environments).
+ Proficiency in one or more: Java/Python/C++/Rust/Go
+ Strong preference for Java for control-plane/services.
+ Strong systems design skills: concurrency, memory management, performance tuning, API design, and distributed systems fundamentals.
+ Experience with DevOps at scale: CI/CD, automated testing, canarying, rollout/rollback, and configuration management.
+ IaC expertise (e.g., Terraform) and solid cloud infrastructure fundamentals.
+ Familiarity with DDoS or network security services and related attack/defense patterns.
+ Solid networking knowledge: TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP fundamentals; DNS/DHCP understanding.
+ Observability experience (metrics, tracing, alerting) and operational excellence mindset.
**Preferred qualifications**
+ Experience with anycast routing, traffic steering, and multi-region service readiness.
+ Exposure to SDN, programmable data planes, or hardware mitigation platforms.
+ Advanced telemetry/streaming pipelines for near-real-time detection (e.g., high-rate packet/flow analytics).
+ Background in resilience engineering, chaos testing, and capacity planning at hyperscale.
+ Containerization/orchestration experience and secure service-to-service communication (mTLS, policy).
+ Familiarity with zero trust principles, segmentation, and modern security architectures.
**How you’ll have impact**
+ Ship core DDoS detection/mitigation capabilities that protect OCI’s Tier 0 availability.
+ Enable new customer-facing DDoS offerings with self-service policy and visibility.
+ Raise engineering quality, automation, and compliance maturity across the stack.
**Ways of working**
+ Security and privacy by design; auditable controls and policy adherence from day one.
+ Data-driven delivery with clear KPIs, SLOs, and stage gates from prototype to GA.
+ Collaborative, inclusive engineering culture with code reviews, design docs, and knowledge sharing.
**Note**
+ This role aligns with Oracle’s standards for security, privacy, and compliance. When selecting tools or third-party integrations, ensure they align with Oracle’s internal guidelines and approval processes.
+ \#LI-NS1
**Responsibilities**
**What you’ll do**
+ Design and build low-latency backend services for DDoS detection, classification, and mitigation across OCI’s global edge.
+ Implement scalable data and control planes (policy, signaling, telemetry, orchestration) with strong fault isolation and resiliency.
+ Develop traffic engineering capabilities (anycast, BGP signaling, routing policy) and integrate with OCI networking, DNS, and edge services.
+ Own operational readiness: SLOs/SLAs, on-call health, incident response, runbooks, and post-incident improvements.
+ Build automation-first workflows: CI/CD pipelines, test frameworks, canary/blue-green releases, and infrastructure-as-code.
+ Create robust observability (metrics, logs, traces) and capacity/scale modeling for high-throughput, high-availability systems.
+ Partner with product, SRE, and network engineering to deliver roadmap features from concept to GA with security-by-design.
+ Contribute to threat modeling, architecture reviews, and compliance/audit readiness for Tier 0 services.
