Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer OCI Product Catalog (Nashville-TN)

Location: Nashville TN onsite 5 days/week. Relocation assistance is available; this is not a remote position.

The OCI Product Catalogteam builds platform services that define and manage OCI products and their associated metadata including integrations with SKUs metering limits product availability and lifecycle management.

The team is building a centralized product model and automation platform that enables OCI service teams to onboard deploy and manage products consistently across cloud environments while providing centralized control over product availability.

We are looking for a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer (IC3) with strong full-stack development experience to help design build and operate OCI Product Catalog.

This is a hands-on engineering role spanning distributed backend services APIs automation and web-based operator experiences. The engineer will own features end to end from technical design and implementation through testing deployment observability and production operation.

Designs implements and optimizes components in distributed systems with an emphasis on scalability resiliency and operability. Delivers features and load/performance tests; leverages data plane platforms and distributed state tools for high-volume retrieval storage and processing; and reviews peers implementations for scalability compliance. Builds fault-tolerant paths (redundancy replication automatic failover) applies recoveryoriented principles and implements retries circuit breakers and timeouts. Proactively detects and mitigates issues via tests alarms dashboards and telemetry; authors runbooks and participates in incident response and RCAs. Implements standard replication and synchronization develops automation/IaC for troubleshooting and maintenance and applies advanced security controls (encryption access remediation) while ensuring change compliance and documentation standards are met.
