About the team
We are a software development team building OCI services to operate AI infrastructure at scale. We transform complex operational processes into reliable AI-driven services, automated workflows, and AI agents that help engineers assess GPU infrastructure health, investigate and resolve issues, and make informed decisions.
Our work spans infrastructure lifecycle management, operational visibility, GPU infrastructure delivery, and AI-assisted automation. We partner with operations, infrastructure, and engineering teams to reduce repetitive work and improve the reliability and efficiency of large-scale GPU environments.
About the role
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of software platforms for AI infrastructure. You will translate ambiguous problems into clear technical designs, build production services, and guide engineering decisions across multiple systems.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will write and review code, own significant technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and remain accountable for how your systems perform in production.
What you will do
•
Own architecture and delivery of services and automation supporting AI infrastructure provisioning, validation, troubleshooting, and ongoing operations.
•
Build reliable APIs, backend services, integrations, and tools that connect infrastructure systems and turn data into actionable workflows.
•
Develop AI-assisted capabilities for investigation, knowledge retrieval, and workflow execution, with appropriate evaluation, access controls, and human oversight.
•
Replace recurring manual tasks with reusable automation, using operational feedback to prioritize improvements.
•
Design for partial failures, retries, idempotency, auditability, observability, and safe recovery.
•
Lead technical initiatives from problem definition through implementation, rollout, and production support.
•
Establish engineering standards through design reviews, code reviews, testing, and clear technical documentation.
•
Mentor engineers and align technical decisions with partner teams.
•
Measure results through reduced manual effort, faster resolution, improved reliability, and adoption by operational users.
