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, the Technical Strategy & Oversight (TSO) organization builds the foundational systems and frameworks that power our most demanding tier-one services. One of those is Autonomous OCI - a greenfield effort to redesign the kernel and runtime of the cloud itself. Today's hyperscaler model grows linearly with people; every region or feature adds manual operations and cost. Meanwhile, demand for AI, GPUs, sovereign, and dedicated regions is accelerating faster than humans can scale. Autonomous OCI breaks this curve by making services fast, resilient, and self-healing by default, enabling OCI to scale to thousands of regions efficiently. As the Director of Engineering, you will build and scale the team delivering the Light-weight Infrastructure (our 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 the primitives - compute, storage, networking, telemetry, identity - that will shape the future of cloud. 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 4 years at a senior management level, with experience of managing managers and staff engineers. 7+ 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.
