About The Position

The Senior Manager, Core Infrastructure Engineering manages teams delivering scalable distributed systems and components on a 2–4 quarter horizon for OCI Network Control Services Automation. The role standardizes engineering practices and scalability requirements across teams, oversees optimization for high-throughput, hyper-scale workloads, and ensures effective use of distributed state tools and data plane platforms. It guides teams in designing fault-tolerant, in-service-upgradable systems; setting SLO-aligned durability and availability targets; and implementing resiliency mechanisms such as load-shedding, throttling, and rate-limiting. The position provides oversight for KPIs, telemetry, dashboards, functional and correctness requirements, fault-injection tests, and replication and synchronization strategies. It ensures proactive incident management, operational readiness, and on-call coverage; drives encryption and access-control practices, remediation plans, and compliance documentation; and oversees automation and infrastructure-as-code development and maintenance. The role partners with teams on change-management plans for safe patching, updates, and rollbacks. It is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
