At Technical Strategy and Oversight (TSO) organization, our mission is to support customer choice, transparency, and value when it comes to cloud infrastructure. We're embarking on ambitious new initiatives such as building new innovative platforms, high performance primitives, frameworks to support OCI developers, and new container runtime that will allow us to run the full variety of OCI services, including our most demanding, high-performance, high-availability services. Organizations focus is to enhance engineering efficiency by concentrating our expertise on building enterprise systems for Software Inventory management, Performance Improvements, Remediation Tracking and centralizing Governance across all services and teams within OCI.

As Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) continues its rapid expansion, we are seeking a skilled Software Engineer to join our newly established Software Ecosystem Management team.
