Senior Java Software Engineer (Remote)

Senior Member of Technical Staff

Location: Spain (remote)

Building off our Cloud momentum, Oracle has formed a new organization – Oracle Health Applications & Infrastructure. This team focuses on product development and product strategy for Oracle Health, while building out a complete platform supporting modernized, automated healthcare. This is a net new line of business, constructed with an entrepreneurial spirit that promotes an energetic and creative environment. We are unencumbered and will need your contribution to make it a world class engineering center with the focus on excellence. At Oracle Health, our mission is to improve healthcare and quality of life globally through better experience and easier access to health and research data for patients and healthcare providers.

We are looking for hands-on engineers with expertise and passion in solving difficult problems in all areas of software engineering: distributed systems, identity, security, observability, and user experience.

This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud centric applications from the ground up which will contribute towards new products that will integrate with AI/ML services such as text and image processing. We are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. An engineer at any level can have significant technical and business impact here. You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, diverse people, and given the autonomy as well as support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for backend engineers with distributed systems experience. You should have experience with the design of major features and launching them into production. You’ve operated or supported high-scale services and understand how to make them more resilient. You work on most projects and tasks independently.

You are technically strong and get a lot done – you’ve worked on highly available, scalable, and redundant services. You’ve built rich tools and web apps for use by your team and other internal customers. You have experience with tools like Splunk, Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. You understand that simple systems are easier to operate and fix. You can balance speed and quality with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for other developers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements with your ability to automate and instrument properly to get the right data. You understand operational excellence and how to instill a culture of being dedicated with your teammates.

The person in this role will supply key features and improvements.

What are the biggest challenges for the team?

Scalability, performance and availability. The growth of the business is driving us to improve the ability of our systems to scale out and handle traffic patterns that are several orders of magnitude greater than what we can support today. This is generating a lot of data. As we operate our services and serve more customers, we need the ability to quickly and accurately find log and performance information. Ideally, this would be self-service for our customers.

We understand that software is living and needs investment. The challenge is making the right trade-offs, communicating those decisions effectively, and crisp execution.
