Software Engineer | Database AI App Dev Platform

The Vision : Turning the Database into the Cloud

Most companies treat the database as a passive storage bin. At Oracle, we’re doing the opposite. We are building the Database AI App Dev Platform, a next-generation environment where application logic lives directly alongside data.

Our mission is to eliminate the "data tax"—the latency and complexity of moving data to the code—by running modern languages and microservices directly within the database engine. We are essentially re-architecting the database to be the ultimate cloud platform for data-centric applications.

Why Oracle Database Technologies

We offer the best of both worlds : the massive scale and stability of a global tech giant, and the technical "greenfield" feel of a high-end research lab.

• Complex Systems : Work with GraalOS and GraalVM—technologies that are literally redefining what’s possible in systems engineering.
• Zurich Life : Work from our world-class hub in Zurich, consistently ranked as one of the best cities in the world for quality of life and engineering talent.
• Diversity & Inclusion : We believe that innovation is powered by different perspectives. We are committed to an inclusive environment where engineers of all backgrounds, genders, and identities can do their best work. We don't just value diversity; we need it to solve the problems we’re tackling.

What You'll Do

The Role : Advanced Engineering With Exciting Technology

As a Senior Software Engineer (IC3) in Oracle's Database Technologies Division, you won't just be writing features; you’ll be building the foundation of a global cloud service. You will work at the intersection of database internals, virtualization, and compiler technology.

Your work will leverage GraalOS (our state-of-the-art in-process virtualization) to create a high-performance runtime for functions, microservices, and AI-driven logic.

What You'll Bring

We are looking for "systems people"—engineers who aren't afraid to dive into the kernel, look at assembly, or debug a complex race condition in a distributed system.

What Oracle Offers

At Oracle, we don’t just respect differences—we celebrate them. We believe that innovation starts with inclusion and to create the future we need people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities. That’s why we’re committed to creating a workplace where all kinds of people can do their best work. It’s when everyone’s voice is heard and valued that we’re inspired to go beyond what’s been done before.
