About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is scaling at an unprecedented pace to support the next generation of AI-driven workloads. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support engagement and AI capacity buildout for large-scale enterprise customers , acting as the execution owner across customers, data center design and architecture, engineering, and infrastructure. This is a high-visibility, high-ambiguity role with direct influence on OCI business decisions , investment priorities, and regional capacity strategy. You will operate with limited support in problem spaces where requirements are incomplete, architectural tradeoffs are complex, and decisions have material impact on OCI’s long-term platform direction and customer commitments. Success in this role requires technical depth and breadth, strong business judgment, and the ability to drive clarity and execution without predefined playbooks. Sitting at the intersection of customer strategy, cloud architecture, AI infrastructure, and large-scale execution , this role partners closely with OCI architects, engineering leaders, and infrastructure teams. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with most senior architects to translate customer AI and infrastructure requirements into scalable, supportable OCI architectures, influencing region design, GPU capacity planning, network and storage architectures, and deployment models. You are expected to engage deeply in technical discussions, understand architectural constraints and tradeoffs, and drive alignment across teams to enable timely and high-quality delivery. You will define execution plans, identify and mitigate technical and operational risks, and ensure commitments are met across multiple organizations with competing priorities. Beyond individual customer delivery, you will help define and codify best practices, reusable mechanisms, and operating models that enable OCI to scale AI capacity delivery. This includes producing durable execution frameworks, architectural patterns, and capacity onboarding playbooks that reduce time-to-capacity and time-to-value while allowing OCI to onboard many large customers in parallel.

Requirements

Experience communicating seamlessly with technical and business audiences at all organizational levels.
Analytically and technically proficient, able to quickly learn new software, tools, and market trends.
Demonstrated success thriving in dynamic, customer-focused, ambiguous environments.
Experience in datacenter or cloud infrastructure development or as a member of a cloud software/product development organization.
Knowledge and hands-on experience with large-scale GPU infrastructure, data center operations (including power, cooling, hardware, networking), and deploying/maintaining GPU servers.
Strong understanding of public cloud services (OCI, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), especially IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS, including Compute, Storage, Identity, and Networking.
