The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is growing at a significant rate – doubling in capacity every year which is driving Oracle’s revenue growth. In 2024, OCI was named as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure.

The Hardware Provisioning organization within OCI is re-architecting the provisioning layer so we can continue to scale our service to meet the demands of our exponential growth.

Our unique team works on everything from user level applications and interfaces to low-level hardware interfaces and everything in between. We control the full software life cycle from architecture to release. Help shape the Cloud Management offerings for Oracle's Cloud Servers while working with some of the most talented and experienced software developers in the industry. 

Specifically, you will contribute your talents and skills towards the design & development of secure Cloud Management software using industry standard System, Network and Storage Management protocols that are the foundation of Oracle's Cloud offering.
