Software Engineer for Graal Cloud Services / Oracle Serverless Platform
Description
Are you ready to redefine how modern applications are built and executed in the cloud? We're seeking a Principal Engineer to help shape the future of Graal Cloud Service, a platform that brings high-performance, polyglot runtime capabilities to cloud-native environments.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of runtime systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer platforms, where your work will directly influence how applications achieve faster startup, lower memory footprint, and superior performance at scale.
In this role, you'll architect and build next-generation systems leveraging GraalVM, native image compilation, and cloud-native abstractions to deliver seamless, efficient, and secure execution environments. You'll define technical strategy, drive architectural direction, and partner across teams to bring innovative, production-grade solutions to life.
What You'll Do
* Architect and design cloud-native runtime platforms built on GraalVM and native image technologies that work with Oracle DB.
* Drive innovation in low-latency execution, serverless runtimes, and high-density multi-tenant systems .
* Lead development of polyglot execution environments supporting Java, JavaScript, Python, and beyond.
* Optimize startup time, memory utilization, and throughput for large-scale distributed systems.
* Champion data intelligence and automation , enabling smarter decisions and next-gen user experiences.
* Collaborate with infrastructure, database, and application teams to integrate Graal-based runtimes into enterprise services.
* Define and influence technical strategy and roadmap for Graal Cloud Service.
* Ensure systems meet enterprise-grade requirements for scalability, reliability, observability, and security.
* Mentor engineers and drive best practices in performance engineering and systems design .
Responsibilities
What You'll Bring
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field (advanced degree preferred).
* 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, runtime development, or cloud infrastructure .
* Strong expertise in JVM internals, compilers, or runtime systems (e.g., GraalVM, HotSpot, LLVM) .
* Deep understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, microservices, serverless) .
* Proven experience in performance optimization, profiling, and low-level system tuning .
* Strong programming skills in Java and/or systems languages .
* Ability to translate complex performance and infrastructure challenges into scalable, production-ready solutions .
* Excellent leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Bonus Points
* Hands-on experience with GraalVM Native Image and polyglot runtime environments .
* Familiarity with serverless platforms and function-as-a-service (FaaS) architectures.
* Experience building developer platforms or PaaS offerings .
* Knowledge of observability tooling, tracing, and performance diagnostics .
* Contributions to open-source runtime, compiler, or cloud infrastructure projects .
Why You'll Love Working Here
* Build the foundation for next-generation cloud execution platforms .
* Work on cutting-edge innovations in runtime performance and cloud efficiency .
* Collaborate with world-class engineers shaping the future of Java and polyglot ecosystems .
* Solve complex challenges in performance, scale, and distributed execution .
* Thrive in a culture that values deep technical excellence, ownership, and innovation .
