Principal Technical Program Manager (OCI/Developer Tools)

Oracle•Nashville, TN

About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is building platform capabilities that provide developers and test teams with the environments they need to build, validate, and operate services. The work spans environment provisioning, development and testing improvements, and region-build automation to scale infrastructure delivery with greater speed, reliability, and consistency. The Principal Technical Program Manager will drive execution and delivery for high-impact programs across the environment provisioning platform. The role brings technical depth to architecture discussions, translates platform requirements into executable technical plans, and aligns senior engineering partners around reliable capabilities that improve development and testing while accelerating region-building automation. The position will improve the platform foundation used by OCI engineering teams, making environments faster to access, more reliable to use, and easier to operate. It will also help accelerate automation needed to build and expand OCI regions at scale. OCI Developer Platform creates capabilities that help engineering organizations build, deploy, and operate software with speed, confidence, and control.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 7 years of experience in technical program management or a related discipline leading complex cloud infrastructure, distributed-systems, or platform-engineering programs.
Demonstrated success leading cross-functional programs involving cloud infrastructure, environment provisioning, infrastructure automation, platform engineering, or large-scale operations.
Technical depth in cloud infrastructure and distributed systems, including the ability to understand provisioning workflows, APIs, control planes, service dependencies, capacity, networking, and operational constraints.
Ability to engage credibly in technical design and architecture discussions, synthesize requirements and tradeoffs, and guide execution with engineers, architects, SREs, and operations teams.
Experience defining technical readiness, rollout, and operational-success criteria, including reliability, observability, capacity, security, and recovery considerations.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical strategy, architecture tradeoffs, and delivery risk to engineers and executive stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Experience with environment provisioning, ephemeral environments, test infrastructure, developer sandboxes, or infrastructure-as-code.
Experience with cloud control planes, distributed systems, service orchestration, or infrastructure APIs.
Experience with region building, cloud infrastructure deployment, capacity expansion, or large-scale infrastructure automation.
Experience with site reliability engineering, observability, incident response, reliability practices, or operational readiness.
Experience with OCI services or comparable large-scale public cloud environments.

Responsibilities

Lead cross-organizational execution for technically complex environment provisioning platform capabilities used by development and testing teams across OCI.
Define technical program plans, integrated roadmaps, operating mechanisms, dependency maps, KPI definitions, and success measures connecting environment needs to architecture, service, capacity, and regional engineering outcomes.
Partner with architects and engineering leads to drive technical requirements, design reviews, and launch criteria for provisioning workflows, APIs, control-plane services, and test-platform capabilities.
Lead programs that improve region-build automation, reducing manual effort while increasing the predictability, repeatability, observability, and pace of infrastructure expansion.
Anticipate technical risks and systemic blockers across infrastructure, capacity, service, networking, and regional dependencies; drive timely decisions and escalations through delivery and rollout.
Use customer feedback and technical signals, including provisioning latency, success rates, availability, capacity readiness, and operational incidents, to prioritize investments and measure impact.
Support engineering business operations by establishing KPI reporting, operating rhythms, roadmap alignment, and executive communications that clarify delivery health, tradeoffs, risks, and recommended actions.
