Oracle is seeking an experienced engineering leader to lead the software engineering group responsible for building and operating a new, enterprise-scale CI/CD platform. This role involves defining the technical vision, driving execution across multiple teams, and building a high-performing engineering organization capable of delivering a mission-critical platform.

Responsibilities:

• Define and drive the vision and long-term strategy for a next-generation CI/CD and software delivery platform
• Architect and evolve systems that support high-scale, reliable, and secure automated deployments across a large cloud environment
• Guide critical technical decisions, including build systems, deployment orchestration, release strategies, and developer workflows
• Own end-to-end delivery of the platform, ensuring high-quality, predictable execution across multiple teams
• Lead the organization through clear, measurable OKRs, aligning engineering execution with business and platform outcomes
• Drive a culture of incremental delivery, enabling frequent, low-risk releases (e.g., daily or continuous deployment)
• Establish best-in-class engineering processes for planning, prioritization, and release management
• Define and track key delivery metrics (e.g., deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate) to continuously improve performance and velocity
• Ensure teams balance speed with safety through strong testing, automation, and release guardrails
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineering managers and senior engineers
• Build a strong engineering culture focused on ownership, quality, and continuous improvement
• Partner with service teams across OCI to drive adoption of the CI/CD platform and standardize delivery practices
• Influence engineering practices across the broader organization through platform capabilities and standards
• Own the availability, performance, and scalability of the CI/CD platform
• Ensure robust observability, monitoring, and incident management practices
• Drive continuous improvements in system efficiency, cost optimization, and developer experience
• Champion secure-by-default and resilient deployment patterns across the ecosystem
