You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.
What are the biggest challenges for the team?
The team is building a brand-new service. The dynamic and fast growth of the business is driving us to build brand new innovative technologies. We understand that software is living and needs investment. The challenge is making the right tradeoffs, communicating those decisions effectively, and crisp execution.
We need engineers who can build services that can reliably protect our customer cloud environment. We need engineers who can figure out how we can keep up our solution in a fast pace to securely protect our customers. We need engineers who can build services that enable us to offer even more options to customers and contribute to the overall growth of Oracle Cloud.
