Consulting Member of Technical Staff (Oracle Kubernetes Engine)

Description

Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks etc.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability, and cost-effective infrastructure services. Multiple compute options provide the flexibility to run the most demanding workloads and less compute-intensive applications in a secure and highly available cloud environment. Customers can self-service provision virtual machines alongside bare metal servers and clusters on the same virtual cloud networks through a unified web console, APIs, CLI, or via industry-standard tools such as Terraform and Chef. OCI's approach gives the customer choices for storage, such as industry-leading local NVME storage or elastic network block storage.

The Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) builds the OCI service that runs our managed Kubernetes experience. It is used by various internal and external customers, and we're actively adding features—from Kubernetes to deeper integrations with OCI and to better allow cluster management. The team operates a 24x7 service at scale. We have a large roadmap of features to enable scenarios for new customers coming on board in the coming quarters.

At Oracle, we are deeply invested in shaping the future of Kubernetes through OKE. We’re continuously innovating, enhancing scalability, reliability, and security, while simplifying the user experience. With the rapid growth of cloud-native technologies, our team is developing sophisticated tools and integrations that empower customers to deploy and manage complex Kubernetes environments effortlessly.

Our vision for OKE centers on building Kubernetes infrastructure tailored for extreme scalability, maximizing operational efficiency, and creating innovative solutions specifically designed for large-scale AI training and inference workloads. We're actively building Kubernetes-native features designed to enhance reliability, operational efficiency, and seamless integrations within OCI, empowering customers to effortlessly scale and optimize their Kubernetes clusters for advanced AI-driven use cases.
