Full Job Posting
Qualifications
- Career Level - IC3
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, with 5+ years experience.
- Strong professional experience designing and building large-scale distributed systems, developer platforms, cloud services, or enterprise software products.
- Hands-on experience building applications using large language models, including prompt design, structured outputs, function calling, tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI workflow orchestration.
- Practical understanding of Agentic AI patterns, including planning, reasoning loops, task decomposition, tool invocation, memory, context management, agent state, and autonomous or semi-autonomous execution.
- Strong programming experience in one or more languages such as Java, Python, Go, or similar.
- Experience building developer-facing tools such as CLIs, SDKs, APIs, IDE extensions, build systems, CI/CD platforms, testing frameworks, observability tools, infrastructure-as-code tooling, or cloud development platforms.
- Strong understanding of modern software development workflows, including source control, code review, testing, build automation, deployment pipelines, release management, and production operations.
- Experience with cloud-native architecture, including microservices, APIs, containers, distributed systems, asynchronous workflows, authentication, authorization, and service observability.
- Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure components such as embedding models, vector databases, model serving, model evaluation, telemetry, and experimentation frameworks.
- Ability to reason about risks in AI-powered developer tools, including incorrect code generation, hallucinated APIs, prompt injection, unsafe tool execution, data leakage, permission misuse, and unreliable automation.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects independently, influence architecture across teams, and deliver high-quality production systems.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical decisions to engineering, product, and leadership audiences.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate Agentic AI-powered developer tools for the OCI Developer Tools organization.
- Develop AI agents that assist with code authoring, debugging, test generation, build failure analysis, deployment guidance, infrastructure automation, cloud diagnostics, and developer workflow optimization.
- Build systems that combine LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, workflow orchestration, code intelligence, structured outputs, and OCI service APIs.
- Create agent workflows that can reason across source code, SDKs, APIs, CLI commands, documentation, build logs, telemetry, repositories, deployment artifacts, and cloud resource metadata.
- Design safe and reliable agent execution patterns, including human-in-the-loop approval, guardrails, access control, audit logging, tool-use constraints, error recovery, and policy-aware automation.
- Partner with product managers, UX designers, developer relations, cloud service teams, security, and infrastructure teams to translate developer pain points into scalable AI product capabilities.
- Build evaluation frameworks for developer-facing AI systems, including task success, code correctness, grounding quality, tool-call accuracy, hallucination detection, latency, cost, safety, and regression metrics.
- Contribute to platform architecture for AI-assisted development, including agent runtimes, context management, prompt orchestration, model routing, evaluation pipelines, telemetry, and feedback loops.
- Ensure AI-powered developer tools meet OCI standards for security, privacy, reliability, compliance, operational readiness, scalability, and enterprise-grade quality.
- Provide technical leadership through design documents, architecture reviews, code reviews, mentoring, prototyping, and cross-team technical alignment.
- Stay current with advances in Agentic AI, LLM application design, AI coding assistants, developer productivity tools, cloud-native development, and responsible AI, and apply them pragmatically to OCI products.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building AI coding assistants, developer copilots, autonomous debugging agents, test generation systems, build failure analyzers, cloud troubleshooting agents, or AI-powered DevOps tools.
- Experience with agent frameworks or orchestration technologies such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom agent runtimes.
- Experience with commercial or open-source LLM ecosystems such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Cohere, Meta Llama, Mistral, or enterprise-hosted models.
- Experience designing systems that reason over large codebases, dependency graphs, APIs, SDKs, cloud service documentation, build artifacts, logs, metrics, traces, and runtime telemetry.
- Deep understanding of developer experience, developer productivity, software engineering workflows, and cloud application development.
- Experience with OCI, especially in areas such as developer tools, DevOps, cloud automation, identity, observability, infrastructure provisioning, networking, compute, storage, or managed AI services.
- Experience with Kubernetes, containers, Terraform, CI/CD systems, workflow engines, message queues, distributed job execution, or service deployment platforms.
- Knowledge of secure software supply chain practices, including artifact integrity, dependency scanning, secrets handling, policy enforcement, provenance, and deployment governance.
- Experience building RAG systems with semantic retrieval, hybrid search, reranking, chunking strategies, grounding validation, citation-aware responses, and access-controlled retrieval.
- Experience evaluating LLM and agentic systems using golden datasets, synthetic test generation, human review, automated scoring, red teaming, online experimentation, and regression testing.
- Experience optimizing AI-powered systems for latency, throughput, reliability, token efficiency, cost, model selection, and service availability.
- Track record of technical leadership through architecture ownership, patents, publications, open-source contributions, platform delivery, or high-impact developer tooling initiatives.
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising the engineering bar across a team, platform, or organization.
