Principal Application Software Engineer

United StatesFull-timePosted Jul 22, 2026

Are you interested in building the next generation of cloud-native healthcare analytics platforms? Join the Oracle Health Data Intelligence organization to help lead the evolution of Oracle Health analytics from on-premises ond external cloud providers deployments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enabling scalable, secure, and highly available analytics services.

The Oracle Health Data Intelligence organization develops and operates the data processing, analytics and intelligence platforms that power Oracle Health applications, healthcare systems and analytics solutions supporting hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Within the Oracle Health Data Intelligence Platform (HDI) organization, the Analytics Control Plane team builds the services, automation, and orchestration required to provision and manage cloud-native analytics infrastructure across ingestion, transformation, storage, and access layers. Our platform enables reliable, secure, and compliant analytics services while meeting enterprise and regulatory requirements.

As a Principal Software Engineer, you will provide technical leadership in designing and building the Analytics Control Plane that automates the provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of Oracle Health analytics infrastructure on OCI. You will own architecture and implementation across critical platform domains including networking, identity and access management, authentication, authorization, security, databases, and analytics services.

You will collaborate closely with engineering, product management, cloud infrastructure, and cross-functional teams to modernize Oracle Health analytics platforms and migrate complex legacy workloads to cloud-native architectures. You will design scalable platform capabilities that leverage OCI services while improving automation, reliability, observability, security, and operational efficiency.

In this role, you will:

* Lead the design and development of cloud-native platform services and automation for provisioning and managing Oracle Health analytics infrastructure.

* Drive architecture and technical direction for platform capabilities spanning networking, security, identity, databases, analytics services, and infrastructure lifecycle management.

* Design scalable, resilient, and secure solutions that leverage OCI services and cloud-native design principles.

* Partner with product, engineering, and cloud infrastructure teams to migrate legacy analytics platforms to modern cloud architectures.

* Own complex technical initiatives from architecture and design through implementation, testing, production readiness, and operational support.

* Mentor engineers through technical leadership, design reviews, and engineering best practices while raising the technical quality of the organization.

* Improve platform reliability, performance, observability, and operational excellence through automation and continuous improvement.

* Ensure platform solutions meet security, compliance, availability, and regulatory requirements expected of healthcare systems.

This role is well suited for engineers who thrive in solving ambiguous, large-scale distributed systems challenges, can influence technical direction across teams, and are passionate about building highly available cloud platforms that power mission-critical healthcare analytics. You will have the opportunity to shape foundational platform capabilities that enable Oracle Health analytics solutions to scale globally while maintaining the highest standards for security, compliance, and operational excellence.
