Supports the design, deployment, and operations of a large-scale global Oracle cloud computing environment (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - OCI). Primarily focused on development and support of network fabric and systems through a combination of a deep level understanding of networking at the protocol level coupled with programming skills to support the intensive automation required to operate a production environment. As OCI is a cloud-based network with a global footprint, this support will include hundreds of thousands of network devices supporting millions of servers, connected over a mix of dedicated backbone infrastructure and the Internet.

The selected candidate will be joining the Optical Network Engineering team which is responsible for building and scaling Oracle’s DWDM Transport Network. The team is focused on engineering and enabling the deployment of DWDM transport systems. The successful candidate will have a direct impact on our top priority of delivering optical capacity and engineering solutions to support Oracle’s cloud infrastructure to provide metro DWDM optical transport solutions in support of the needs of the network. To continue to drive down costs for equipment and services for DWDM. To train other teams to deploy and operate optical systems. To provide operations support to ensure availability and uptime of the DWDM network. To develop standards for engineering, deployment, and operations. To write code enabling the acceleration of our engineering cycles.

The optical network Engineer will have excellent written and verbal communication and collaboration habits that will enable them to operate with a high level of agility and autonomy

Plan and detail engineering of Optical network for capacity expansion & new region builds.

• Plan and implement network changes in a high availability environment.
• Develop engineering skills inside of Optical Engineering and in peer groups.
• Work with data center operations providing support during new capacity additions and changes on the optical network.
• Review OTDR/CD/PMD test reports for inside plant and outside plant fiber acceptance.
• Own optical network infrastructure documentation, responsible for updating and maintaining network drawings and plans for both operational purposes and new builds.
• Create and maintain optical network designs for metro, regional and long-haul DWDM systems.
• Work with the engineering team to define optical standards and best practices for deployment.
• Maximizing network performance by troubleshooting network problems and outages, scheduling upgrades, and collaborating with network architects on network optimization.
• Participate in FOA and field trials of new platforms and technologies.
• Work with the network qualification team to test and incorporate net platforms into the network.
• Contribute code with development teams for foundations of automation tools with a perspective of transport systems and operational best practices.
