Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 17, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 30, 2026. Oracle scores A on the Alion truth index.
We’re hiring a Platform Software Engineer to help build the execution layer behind OCI’s AI and GPU growth motion. You’ll work across Oracle data platforms, GPU scheduling, orchestration pipelines, and MLOps agentic tooling - turning customer demand into production-grade systems that scale across our cluster fleet. This is a builder role on a small, high-leverage team.
What you’ll do
- Integrate with Oracle data platforms (OCI Streaming, 23ai, Object Storage, Data Flow) to move training and inference data reliably across customer and internal pipelines.
- Build and extend GPU schedulers and capacity-aware placement logic for A100, H100, H200, and Blackwell fleets.
- Develop orchestration pipelines for training, fine-tuning, and inference workloads using Kubernetes, Argo, and Slurm where appropriate.
- Ship MLOps agentic tooling - observability, automated triage, cost and SLO agents - that reduces operator load on large GPU deployments.
- Partner with PMs, SAs, and customer-facing teams to convert field requirements into reusable components, not one-off scripts
What we’re looking for:
- 3-6 years of software engineering experience, ideally in distributed systems, data platforms, or ML infrastructure.
- Strong Python; working knowledge of Go or Rust is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container runtimes, and at least one workflow engine (Argo, Airflow, Prefect, Temporal).
- Familiarity with GPU workloads, CUDA toolchains, or inference serving frameworks (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton).
- Experience with LLM agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar) is a strong plus.
- Comfort working in ambiguity, shipping iteratively, and reasoning about topology - not just features.
Nice to have:
- Prior work on multi-cloud or hybrid deployments.
- Exposure to QEC, quantum-classical hybrid workloads, or scientific computing.
- Open-source contributions to the AI infra ecosystem.
Certain U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization/occupational health mandates, and/or drug testing requirements.
