Senior Manager, Core Infrastructure Engineering
About The Position
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is seeking a Senior Manager, Core Infrastructure Engineering to lead and grow a team building network control software for AI and cloud infrastructure. The Network Modeling and Control team develops software that models physical networks and enables their configuration, expansion, and safe operation. Its services translate infrastructure designs into operational networks and coordinate changes as capacity grows, addressing distributed-systems challenges involving consistent network state, concurrent changes, partial-failure recovery, and safe infrastructure automation. The role combines people leadership, technical judgment, and execution. The manager will partner with senior engineers to set technical direction, turn infrastructure priorities into an achievable roadmap, and create an environment where engineers take ownership, develop expertise, and deliver results. The team’s work supports networks connecting GPU infrastructure for AI training and inference, and success is measured through reliable production outcomes and efficient delivery of new capacity.
Requirements
- Substantial software engineering experience, including experience managing teams that build and operate production services.
- A record of delivering complex software initiatives through effective planning, technical judgment, and cross-team collaboration.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, service architecture, reliability, and the software development lifecycle.
- Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers, including supporting senior technical contributors.
- Ability to engage deeply in technical discussions, ask incisive questions, and help teams make sound architectural decisions.

Responsibilities
- Lead an engineering team responsible for distributed services supporting network modeling, configuration, and lifecycle operations across OCI AI and cloud infrastructure.
- Own the team’s roadmap, priorities, and delivery commitments while balancing new capabilities with reliability, scalability, security, and maintainability.
- Partner with technical leads and principal engineers to evaluate architectural tradeoffs, resolve technical risks, and guide service evolution.
- Establish ownership and execution plans for complex projects, manage dependencies, and remove delivery obstacles.
- Collaborate with network engineering, infrastructure delivery, operations, and adjacent software teams to align requirements and deliver capabilities across service boundaries.
- Build a culture of production ownership through effective testing, observability, operational readiness, and safe rollout practices.
- Lead operational performance, maintain sustainable on-call practices, and turn incident findings into lasting engineering improvements.
- Hire and develop engineers through feedback, coaching, career planning, and thoughtful delegation.
- Foster an inclusive environment where engineers can challenge assumptions, raise risks, and contribute to decisions.
