Software Development Snr Manager

Overview

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers mission-critical applications for top enterprises worldwide, operating in more than 50 regions. Within OCI, the Technical Strategy & Oversight (TSO) organization builds foundational systems and frameworks powering tier-one services. One initiative is Autonomous OCI — a greenfield effort to redesign the kernel and runtime of the cloud, enabling services to scale efficiently and reducing manual operations and cost.

As the Senior Engineering Manager, you will build and scale the team delivering the Light-weight Infrastructure (the next-generation runtime for compute, networking, storage, telemetry, and governance) at the core of Autonomous OCI. You’ll collaborate with senior architects and leadership, onboard OCI services to this new stack, and help define primitives — compute, storage, networking, telemetry, identity — that will shape the future of cloud.

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a greenfield initiative with autonomy and support to succeed.

• 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 forming 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.

• Minimum of 1 year at a senior management level, with experience managing principal engineers.
• 6+ 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.
