9d•$84,400 - $209,500

About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Principal Product Manager to simplify how customers turn application requirements into working, governed deployments. The role will define an application deployment “golden path,” helping developers and platform teams select deployment patterns, provision infrastructure, configure delivery pipelines, and deploy applications with appropriate access controls and organizational policies. The position owns strategy, roadmap, and customer experience across this journey. It partners with teams responsible for OCI Resource Manager and Terraform, OCI DevOps, managed compute services and directly provisioned OCI Compute, API Gateway, registries, and IAM. The work connects these capabilities into a coherent workflow that reduces manual configuration, resolves friction between services, and establishes the application context needed for ongoing operations. The product manager will guide customer insight and product direction; define application intent and reusable deployment patterns; integrate infrastructure provisioning and delivery; incorporate governance and deployment readiness; lead roadmap and execution across teams; preserve application identity and operational context; improve developer experience through research and measurement; and coordinate launch and adoption. Success includes measurable improvements in developer productivity and deployment outcomes.

Requirements

8+ years of relevant experience, including substantial experience owning technically complex products.
Experience building products for internal developer platforms, developer toolchains, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure automation.
Strong technical fluency in Terraform, infrastructure as code, cloud architecture, APIs, artifact management, and IAM.
Demonstrated success leading initiatives across multiple engineering and product teams through technical judgment and influence.
Strong customer discovery, analytical, prioritization, and written communication skills.
A record of delivering products from concept through launch and adoption, with measurable improvements in developer productivity.

Responsibilities

Understand how developers and platform teams translate application needs into deployment decisions; define target workflows, identify adoption barriers, and establish a strategy balancing developer autonomy with enterprise governance.
Define how customers express application requirements, select runtime and infrastructure patterns, configure environments, and choose application artifacts; develop requirements for reusable templates and sensible defaults.
Connect Resource Manager and Terraform workflows with OCI DevOps pipelines, compute targets, API Gateway, and registries; resolve gaps across provisioning, artifact selection, deployment configuration, and application delivery.
Incorporate IAM, environment boundaries, policy checks, approvals, and configuration validation into deployment workflows; make prerequisites, permissions, and failures understandable and actionable.
Own product requirements, prioritization, acceptance criteria, and release planning across the deployment experience; align service teams on dependencies and integration contracts.
Ensure deployed applications retain consistent identity, ownership, resource associations, environment information, artifact versions, and release metadata; partner with the application operations PM to carry this context into production operations.
Validate workflows through customer interviews, usability research, and hands-on evaluations; measure time to first successful deployment, workflow completion, deployment success, and manual effort.
Recruit design partners, validate deployment patterns, and coordinate documentation, demonstrations, reference examples, and field enablement to support customer adoption.
