Senior Platform Software Engineer

Shepherd is OCI’s release orchestration platform, responsible for safely coordinating software, infrastructure, configuration, and operational changes across regions, realms, and critical cloud services. As OCI grows across commercial, sovereign, disconnected, regulated, and large-scale region-build environments, Shepherd must continue evolving as a reliable platform for cloud-scale change.

We are seeking an IC3 Senior Platform Software Engineer to design, build, operate, and improve core Shepherd platform capabilities. This role is suited for an engineer who can independently own bounded components, write production-quality code, debug distributed systems, improve APIs and workflows, and collaborate with partner teams to solve practical release-orchestration problems.

The successful candidate will help Shepherd improve deployment safety, workflow reliability, approval automation, dependency modeling, rollback behavior, operational visibility, and developer experience. They should care about readable code, clear abstractions, strong tests, simple interfaces, secure implementation, and systems that are maintainable under real production pressure.

This is a hands-on software engineering role. The engineer will deliver features and fixes, participate in design and code reviews, improve team practices, write useful documentation, and contribute to automation that helps Shepherd scale without normalizing manual toil.
