Sr. Manager, Software Engineering – Cloud Performance

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers mission-critical applications for top tier enterprises around the world. Our cloud offers unmatched hyper-scale, multi-tenant services deployed in more than 50 regions worldwide. OCI is expanding its mission beyond the traditional boundaries of public cloud to include dedicated, hybrid and multi cloud, edge computing, and more. 

At Technical Strategy and Oversight (TSO) organization, our mission is to support customer choice, transparency, and value when it comes to cloud infrastructure. We’re embarking on ambitious new initiatives such as building new innovative platforms, high performance primitives, frameworks to support OCI developers, and new container runtime that will allow us to run the full variety of OCI services, including our most demanding, high-performance, high-availability services.  We’re also working on new ingenuities such as providing canonical implementation of core components for data planes through a data-plane runtime framework, developing a remote persistent storage solution with the latency and performance comparable to that of a local nVME drive, and developing standards and tools to identify critical performance improvements across OCI data-planes. We are hoping to enhance engineering efficiency by concentrating our expertise on building low level systems with high performance that can be adopted by our core cloud services across OCI.

In addition, TSO organization is charged with creation and governance of the OCI-wide programs to improve organizational engineering standards, governing processes, architectural review boards, change management, intercoms, PSA’s, and recruiting tools.

To meet the needs of our customers, we are building a new OCI Performance team and looking for an engineering leader to: build it from the ground up, grow it, work out new KPIs for internal service teams that highlight and drive their impact on the efficiency and availability of internal customers, build new services and tools to bring OCI’s next-generation cloud services to customers across a spectrum of new environments. 

This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud services from the ground up. We are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, diverse people, and given the autonomy as well as support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged.

Who are we looking for?

You’ve built and operated high-scale cloud infrastructure services and understand how to continuously improve the technology and grow the business. You have experience working with services that require data to travel long distances but must abide by compliance and regulations. You have built, grew and managed distributed multinational teams, and owned design, delivery, and operations of a prominent public cloud service. 

You are technically strong and have worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and resilient. You can balance feature delivery with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for your engineers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements. You know how to wear the hats of an engineering leader, product owner and project manager at the same time and get a lot done daily.
