What this job asks for AI summary
A senior engineering role focused on building and operating the bare-metal server provisioning systems that underpin OCI's compute and GPU infrastructure. Day-to-day work involves designing microservices and tooling that automate the full server lifecycle — from new hardware platform bring-up through firmware management and customer-ready provisioning — interfacing with components such as BMCs, NICs, GPUs, and custom firmware stacks. Suits engineers with a strong distributed systems background and/or deep Linux and systems-level experience.

Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; Oracle OCI Compute roles of this type are typically based in Seattle, WA or Austin, TX, but the JD names no city or region — CBSA left blank.
The degree requirement states 'BS or MS degree or equivalent experience relevant to functional area,' which means equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — treated as no hard degree gate.
The experience range is stated as '5-8 years' for distributed systems/Linux, with a separate mention of '4 years of software engineering' — the 5-year figure is used as the overall years minimum as it is the primary, more specific gate.
Java and C++ are presented as interchangeable OOP options ('such as C++ or Java'); Java is listed as primary with C++ as an alternative.
Docker appears in the responsibilities narrative ('Linux, Docker, Java web services and Terraform') rather than a formal requirements section, but is listed alongside explicitly required tools in a context that describes expected day-to-day work — included as a required skill reflecting the role's clear technical scope.
Multi-tenant/virtualized infrastructure experience is explicitly called 'a strong plus,' so it is marked as preferred.
The posting does not mention compensation, so no pay figures are provided.
