About the Organization
Join Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s Observability organization, a core OCI pillar enabling reliability, visibility, and operational excellence across all OCI services. The Telemetry Alarming team owns the monitoring and alerting layer that transforms raw telemetry into actionable insights for both OCI customers and internal service teams.

Our Mission
OCI Observability is building a world-class Integrated Observability and Management Platform that delivers seamless visibility across OCI, other clouds, and on-premises environments. The platform unifies Logging, Monitoring, Auditing, SIEM, Events, and Inventory into a cohesive experience providing actionable insights into the health, performance, and security of distributed systems.
