Principal Product Manager, OCI Application Management

Oracle•Seattle, WA

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 defines the 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 Product Manager owns strategy, roadmap, and customer experience across this journey, connecting OCI Resource Manager and Terraform, OCI DevOps, managed compute services and directly provisioned OCI Compute, API Gateway, registries, and IAM into a coherent workflow. The goal is to reduce manual configuration, resolve friction between services, and establish application context for ongoing operations. The position spans customer insight and product direction, reusable deployment patterns, infrastructure and delivery integration, governance and deployment readiness, roadmap execution, application registration and operational handoff, developer experience, and launch and adoption. The Product Manager works across multiple product and engineering teams and partners with the application operations PM to ensure consistent application identity, ownership, resource associations, environment information, artifact versions, and release metadata carry into production operations.

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 set product 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 between provisioning, artifact selection, deployment configuration, and application delivery.
Incorporate IAM, environment boundaries, policy checks, approvals, and configuration validation into the deployment journey; make prerequisites, permissions, and deployment 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 while balancing immediate needs with durable architecture.
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 experience.
Validate workflows through customer interviews, usability research, and hands-on evaluations; measure time to first successful deployment, workflow completion, deployment success, and manual effort to guide investment.
Recruit design partners, validate deployment patterns, and coordinate documentation, demonstrations, reference examples, and field enablement; help customers adopt the experience within existing developer toolchains.
