Fusion Application as a Service (FAaaS) is an exciting new team working on at the intersection of infrastructure and applications where we are demonstrating OCI to transform some of the largest SaaS properties in the industry. We are making the existing Oracle's SaaS portfolios, including the multi-billion dollar revenue producing Fusion applications, become first class Oracle cloud citizens.

To support the vision we are building a platform that manages end-to-end lifecycle, from provisioning to upgrade to terminate; and provides a self-service cloud experience to the customer for our SaaS product by demonstrating the underlying OCI platform and services.

You will own the entire software lifecycle – development, testing, CI/CD and production operations. You must balance between product feature development and production operational concerns like writing run books, ops automation, structured logging, instrumentation for metrics and events demonstrating a plethora of internal tooling at OCI.

From a technology perspective, this is a greenfield development environment with a huge amount of autonomy, leaving us free to build and innovate without being encumbered by legacy products and services.
