About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Principal Software Engineer - AI Infrastructure Innovation to join our team at Oracle. In this remote position, you will be at the forefront of pioneering next-generation AI and HPC networking for GPU superclusters at massive scale. Your expertise will help us design and deliver state-of-the-art RDMA-based networking solutions that enable our customers to achieve high performance for AI training and inference.

What You'll Do

• Lead the architecture, system design, and implementation of high-performance RDMA solutions across OCI’s AI/HPC platforms.
• Innovate on network and TCP performance, identifying necessary changes across Kernel, NIC, switch, transport, protocol, storage, and GPU communications.
• Develop production-grade, high-performance software features with a focus on reliability, observability, and security.
• Define performance goals and success metrics; design benchmarks and conduct large-scale experiments to validate throughput, latency, and tail behavior.
• Collaborate with GPU platform, storage, database, and control-plane teams to deliver end-to-end solutions and influence OCI-wide network architecture and standards.
• Mentor engineers, provide technical leadership and reviews, and contribute to long-term roadmap and technical strategy.

Requirements

• Experience in developing, shipping, and operating high-performance production code.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technically, mentor others, and deliver results in complex problem spaces.
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with RDMA networking (RoCE and/or InfiniBand) is preferred.
• Familiarity with AI/HPC stacks and workloads, including NCCL/RCCL/MPI, Slurm, and GPU communication patterns.
• Hands-on experience with observability and performance tooling (e.g., eBPF, perf, flame graphs).

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating GPU Direct and NVMe-oF access in production.
• Knowledge of SLO-driven operations at scale.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan with company match.
• Flexible paid time off with 13 days of vacation annually for the first three years, increasing to 18 days thereafter.
