Mid Level Cloud Software Engineer Jobs

Software Engineer 3 – Cloud Automation & AI Systems

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building the future of cloud operations through Incident Response Center as a Service (IRCaaS), a strategic initiative focused on transforming incident management from a highly manual process into an AI-driven, automated platform.

Today, thousands of customer-impacting incidents are managed across OCI every year, with a significant portion of engineering effort spent on coordination, communication, workflow execution, and post-incident analysis rather than direct remediation. IRCaaS is designed to automate and orchestrate these activities through intelligent workflows, AI-assisted decision making, and scalable platform services that improve operational efficiency and accelerate incident resolution.

As a Software Engineer 3, you will play a key role in designing and building the platform capabilities that power this transformation. You will work across automation, orchestration, user experience, governance, AI-enabled workflows, and cloud-native services to create a highly scalable system that supports the full incident lifecycle—from detection and declaration through investigation, response, recovery, implementation, and closure.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work on one of OCI's strategic operational transformation initiatives while developing expertise in AI-driven systems, cloud-scale automation, distributed services, and operational excellence. Engineers on this team will help shape the future of autonomous cloud operations and will be well positioned to influence future AI initiatives across the broader organization.
