Senior Backend Software Engineer

:

Fusion Applications (FA) is Oracle's leading SaaS offering of several critical business applications like Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP), Human Capital Management(HCM), Customer Relationship Management(CRM) and many more. The enterprise grade application suite serves as one of the focal points of Oracle's business value.

While Fusion Applications has been a huge success, the basic architecture is based on an on-premise, Fusion Middleware stack that has not changed since its inception. We, are the the Fusion Applications Technical Architecture team and have been tasked with defining the next generation architecture (codename Spectra) based on cloud native principles running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The migration from a monolith to a modern cloud based micro-service architecture opens up new avenues to work with a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies and OCI services. It will also mean instituting better processes and practices as we transform to software as a service development model that includes following industry standard developer workflows, CICD pipelines, safe deployment practices, cloud based automated testing, DevOps culture, etc.

For this new Spectra architecture team, we're looking for talented software engineers to join us and build out the frameworks and services for Health Monitoring and Chaos Engineering. As you can imagine, this service will be a critical part of hundreds of other services, helping to improve the resiliency of the services and help service owners to maintain their SLOs. This is a startup team and comes with a service ownership role that is hands-on, with lots of opportunity for large contributions and impact across the organization. At this stage, we're looking for highly passionate engineers with varying levels of experience and areas of expertise to join the team. As with most service teams, there will eventually be a periodic on call rotation as part of this role.

You should be a rock-solid coder, and a generalist who can dive deep into any part of the stack and low-level systems. Your passion for excellence combined with your experience will help you be an outstanding technical contributor as you look to grow your influence and career. You should be able to work independently and as part of a team in an Agile environment. You should be a great communicator to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in multiple locations around the globe. You should also be able to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment, be results-driven, and thrive even when faced with ambiguity and uncertainty. Most importantly, you should be a team player, someone who is eager to learn, and willing to do whatever it takes to help the team succeed.
