English We are seeking a Lead Principal Engineer to help shape the technical direction of Oracle’s AI-powered Development Experience organization. You will guide the capabilities and engineering practices that enable developers, teams, and agents to build, deliver, and maintain software more effectively.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role with influence across teams and organizational boundaries. You will connect a broad technical vision to practical delivery, establish foundational architecture, and lead the adoption of AI-native development practices, including spec-driven development, agent loops, and workflow graphs.
