Archer is collaborating with Oracle to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.

About The Team

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Load Balancer team builds and operates highly available, scalable services that support mission-critical workloads for internal and external customers. We are seeking systems engineers interested in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, networking, automation, and large-scale operations. You will help develop, deploy, and operate critical cloud services; improve scalability and resiliency; perform load and fault-injection testing; and build telemetry, alerts, dashboards, runbooks, and automation. You will also support incident response and troubleshooting while following established security, compliance, and change-management practices. This role is ideal for curious, collaborative engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, value reliable solutions, and are eager to learn and grow.

Description

Implements and optimizes components within existing distributed systems under guidance. Applies basic scalability requirements, conducts performance/load testing, and configures resiliency features (retries, circuit breakers, timeouts) to handle network variability. Builds telemetry, alerts, and runbook-driven procedures; delivers scoped features and fault-injection tests; and helps implement basic data replication and synchronization. Assists with on-call rotations, uses automation/IaC scripts to troubleshoot, and follows change, security, and compliance procedures (encryption, access controls, remediation plans) while escalating complex issues to senior engineers.
