We’re looking for strong hands-on software engineers who enjoy solving complex automation problems and working across technologies and teams. Design, develop, troubleshoot, and debug software for Oracle’s automated patching framework. You’ll build and maintain tools and services using technologies such as Python, Java, Perl, Linux shell scripting, and PL/SQL. The role also includes providing internal production support, investigating and triaging issues, and improving the reliability and performance of the patching infrastructure. As a member of the software engineering team, you’ll help define and implement software solutions, make changes to existing architecture as needs evolve, and contribute to technical direction across shared projects. The work is varied and often complex, requiring sound judgment and the ability to work independently. You may also lead projects or provide technical guidance to other developers.
