About The Position

The Compute AI Infrastructure Bare Metal Provisioning team in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead a team responsible for critical infrastructure that powers OCI Compute and GPU platforms. The Bare Metal Provisioning team owns the infrastructure responsible for automating the full server lifecycle—from new platform shape creation and hardware bring-up through customer-ready instance provisioning and firmware management. Our services operate at the intersection of bare metal hardware and large-scale distributed systems, supporting a diverse and rapidly growing fleet of AMD, Intel, Arm, and NVIDIA platforms. The team works directly with BMCs, NICs, SmartNICs, ILOMs, GPUs, and firmware stacks to provision, configure, secure, and validate server platforms across OCI’s global infrastructure. This role will contribute to the strategic vision for Bare Metal Provisioning, set near-term priorities and roadmap, and drive execution of major initiatives supporting OCI’s rapidly growing Compute and AI infrastructure. You will partner closely with teams across Compute, Networking, Security, Data Center Engineering, and Hardware Development to enable OCI to launch and scale new server platforms with high reliability and minimal operational overhead. We are looking for a technically strong engineering leader who can thrive in ambiguity and lead teams solving complex problems across distributed systems, Linux, firmware, and hardware/software interactions. You should be able to move comfortably between strategic planning and deep technical discussions, make sound engineering and business tradeoffs, and cultivate a culture of ownership, automation, operational excellence, and high standards for quality and delivery. This is a highly visible and impactful role with direct influence on OCI’s ability to bring the latest Compute and GPU infrastructure from new hardware to customer-ready capacity at cloud scale. The successful candidate will have a passion for developing engineers, building reliable infrastructure, simplifying complex systems, and solving challenging problems at the intersection of cloud software and cutting-edge hardware.
