Principal Site Reliability Engineer

Build the Platforms That Healthcare Depends On
Behind every dependable healthcare application is infrastructure that has to work. Oracle Health’s Core Platform Operations (CPO) team supports the core platforms that help run Millennium, spanning Linux infrastructure, Application Tier, WebSphere, Distributed File Systems, Business Objects, and Citrix. Our mission is to keep these platforms reliable, secure, and ready for the healthcare organizations that depend on them, while making them easier to maintain and improve.
Our work connects Linux engineering with the behavior of the services running above it. You might trace a performance issue through a server and its middleware dependencies, improve a health check, or turn a repeated maintenance task into reusable automation. Across the team, we use rolling maintenance and canary environments to introduce changes with care. Current initiatives also include developing maintenance orchestration to reduce manual effort and human error. You’ll collaborate with application, networking, security, and infrastructure partners, learn how the pieces fit together, and help turn difficult operational problems into better engineering.
Your Role
As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll manage, maintain, and enhance physical and virtual Linux servers across production and nonproduction environments. You’ll bring deep technical judgment to system configuration, performance tuning, security patching, capacity planning, and complex troubleshooting, while helping shape the standards and tools the team uses every day.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with technical leadership responsibilities. You’ll guide engineering decisions, mentor colleagues, and turn operational findings into lasting improvements. You’ll also participate in on-call support and serve as an escalation resource for the services within your scope.
Why This Work Is Worth Doing
If you enjoy following a problem from an application symptom down to the Linux processes, network connections, or resource constraints behind it, there is plenty to explore here. You’ll have opportunities to build useful tools, influence how infrastructure is operated, and see your improvements make daily work better for other engineers. Bring your curiosity, share what you learn, and help us solve the next problem more effectively than the last.
