Principal Platform Software Engineer- Oracle Health

Role Summary

Oracle Health Platform Engineering builds and operates shared platform services that power secure, reliable product delivery at scale. We are an AI-first engineering organization, using AI-assisted approaches to accelerate design and delivery while maintaining high standards for security, correctness, and operability.

We are seeking a Principal Software Developer (IC4) to lead design and delivery for complex platform capabilities, improve platform reliability and security posture, and mentor engineers through deep technical contributions and influence.

Location: Role is based in the United States.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, design, and implementation for complex platform services and shared components.
• Own key technical decisions; drive design reviews and ensure solutions meet security, scalability, performance, and operability requirements.
• Establish and improve engineering standards across services (API consistency, test strategy, deployment patterns, observability).
• Mentor engineers through design guidance, code reviews, and technical leadership.
• Drive reliability improvements (SLOs/SLIs, capacity/performance planning, incident analysis, automation).
• Partner with Security/Compliance to ensure secure-by-design implementations and audit readiness.
• Collaborate across organizations to align roadmaps and deliver cross-team platform initiatives.

AI-First Engineering Expectations

Demonstrate a consistent track record of applying AI-assisted engineering to improve delivery speed and quality across multiple projects (design, implementation, testing, troubleshooting).

Establish team patterns for AI-assisted development (e.g., test generation strategies, code review checklists for AI-generated changes, documentation/ADR generation) and coach others on effective usage.

Evaluate AI-assisted approaches with an enterprise mindset: security, privacy, IP, and compliance considerations; ensure usage aligns with company-approved tooling and policies.

Use AI to enhance operational excellence (e.g., improved incident triage workflows, log/trace analysis approaches, automation of repetitive operational tasks).

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Demonstrated experience building and operating distributed services in production.
• Strong system design skills, including data modeling, API design, and performance/reliability tradeoffs.
• Demonstrated ability to drive technical alignment across teams and deliver results in ambiguous problem spaces.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong IAM-related service design experience: token-based auth, service-to-service auth, authorization enforcement, policy design.
• Experience building or integrating user provisioning and entitlement services, lifecycle workflows, and audit logging.
• Experience with secure platform patterns: secrets management, key rotation, secure defaults, defense-in-depth.
• Cloud experience preferred (OCI strongly desired; AWS/Azure/GCP acceptable), including containerization and orchestration.
