We’d like from you

• 2nd or 3rd year undergraduate in computer science, programming, engineering or related technical field of study.
• Programming experience in either Java, C++ or Python.
• Interest and ability to learn other coding languages as needed.
• Interest in cloud infrastructure, cloud platforms with a focus on IaaS and PaaS services.
• Available for a 12 week internship starting June 2021 and ending September 2021 (we have flexibility on exact dates to fit with university courses)

• Designing, building or administering computer networks.

What matters to us

·    Culture Matters: We will build great teams who embrace a common vision, principles, work ethic, and commitment to results. We will value different perspectives, learn from each other, and do hard things. Great people do great things.

·    Resist Passivity: We will always have a bias for action when innovating, communicating, and executing. Prioritize actions and results.

·    Always Be Scrappy: Just like the startups we serve, we need to take risks with minimal resources. This will keep us efficient, nimble and more likely position us for success. Operate like a startup inside of Oracle.

·    Cloud Adoption Centric: When we evaluate our activities, initiatives and plans, we will always prioritize Oracle Cloud adoption and usage for our community of customers and partners. Do what we do and do it well.

·    Metrics Driven: When possible (and it almost always is), we will measure our outcomes and seek to understand the levers to success. Test assumptions and measure the right things. Follow the data.

·    Planetary Scale: The world generates hundreds of thousands of new businesses every year. We need to keep an eye on scaling our customer base on a planetary scale through capturing firms in highly automated and efficient fashion. Go big. 

This is an opportunity to join a team in an exciting area of a well-established software giant and have a significant impact from day one.
