About this role
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers mission-critical applications for top enterprises worldwide, operating in more than 50 regions. Beyond public cloud, OCI is expanding into dedicated, hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge deployments. Within OCI, Core Infrastructure organization builds the foundational systems and frameworks that power our most demanding tier-one services. From high-performance primitives to a next-generation runtime, Core Infrastructure is where OCI’s boldest infrastructure initiatives begin.
Who are we looking for?
You’ve led high-scale cloud infrastructure services, balancing business impact with deep technical excellence. You know how to grow and guide globally distributed teams while owning the design, delivery, and operation of mission-critical systems. You are technically strong, with experience building services that are highly available, scalable, and resilient — and you pair that with the judgment to balance new feature delivery with incremental improvements.
This role blends technical depth with organizational leadership. You’ll mentor and scale managers and principal engineers, while also rolling up your sleeves when needed to dive into architecture, design, or execution. If you’re energized by the chance to shape a 0→1 greenfield initiative and define the future of cloud infrastructure, this role offers both the scope and impact to do it.
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive the technical, product, and organizational strategy for one or more charters within Light-weight Infrastructure (Core Compute, Connectivity & State, Observability & Governance).
- Lead a diverse, globally distributed team to design and deliver 0→1 services that form the foundational layer of Autonomous OCI.
- Hire and develop top engineering talent (both managers and ICs) to build a high-performing team.
- Foster a culture of accountability, integrity, and high professional standards.
- Communicate effectively across the organization — from engineers to architects to executives.
- Mentor teams through architecture and security reviews.
- Establish practices that drive continuous improvement in engineering execution, leadership, and technical excellence.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 8+ years at a senior management level, with experience of managing managers and staff engineers.
- 10+ years of relevant distributed systems or cloud services experience.
- BS, MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, or similar degree.
- Strong business and communication skills.
- Exceptional leadership and people management skills.
- Solid understanding of core cloud infrastructure, such as compute, virtual networking and storage.
- Strong distributed systems architecture and design skills.
