The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Oracle is hiring a Principal Software Engineer in Hartford, CT.

• Role description

  9 years of wrestling with Kafka taught you what good code feels like, and we want that instinct on our Principal Software Engineer team. Boiled down: temporary, $162,000 - $219,000, 8 years of Scrum, and a seat at the table where Oracle decisions get made.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Pair-program tricky Accountability edge cases with engineers across Hartford, CT
  • Chase down the Webpack integration that silently drops Oracle events at midnight
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Pair with technology analysts so Oracle's Java models match real behavior
  • Question the human-first Webpack pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Wrangle Java config across environments so Hartford staging mirrors production
  • Profile Kafka memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Hartford nodes
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time

  What You'll Bring

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Real curiosity about why Oracle customers do what they do
  • Fluency in Java earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Hartford, CT
  • Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence

  Oracle blends Webpack and Relationship Building into technology products that feel, in the quietly-relentless words of its Hartford, CT founders, inevitable. Honest feedback is a gift here, and we try to wrap it kindly before we hand it over.

  Earn $162,000 - $219,000, sharpen your Java beside a mentor, enjoy the benefits, and never apologize for needing a flexible Tuesday.

  Re-dated this morning, Oracle continues hiring for the Principal Software Engineer role.
