We offer unique opportunities for smart, hands‑on security engineers with the expertise and passion to solve difficult problems in distributed highly available services and virtual infrastructure. At every level, our engineers have a significant technical and business impact designing and building innovative new systems to power our customer’s business critical applications. Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with the most secure cloud services.
The OCI Hardware Security group conducts Security assessments of the production hardware that runs our cloud, and develops the requirements for future Networking, Storage, Compute components. We work closely across Oracle, with third‑party vendors, and with standards organization to influence the next generation of hardware platform security. In addition to defining the best hardware, OCI HW Security knows that platform security also depends on how that hardware is used.
To that end, HW Security also works closely with OCI’s operations and engineering teams, constantly striving to improve Oracle Cloud’s overall operational security posture by defining the supply chain and operational requirements to establish best practices for managing security for every device in our data centers.
