About The Position

The Compute Control Plane team in Oracle's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) organization is seeking a Director of Software Engineering to join our fast growing team in Nashville! The OCI Compute Control Plane team is at the center of many of OCI's most critical business goals. We are challenged with scaling our services to meet growing demand, delivering critical features for our customers to help them manage their Compute instances, and delivering support for new HW platforms. We support both Bare Metal and Virtual machine instances across a diverse fleet of HW, including clustered GPU platforms. In addition, our customers demand high availability and security from our Cloud. We need a leader who can thrive in ambiguity, make data-driven decisions, and think critically about how to solve complex problems. We seek someone who can inspire others, and explain the 'why' behind every project and every priority call. The specific functions of this job will be managing compute service region build outs for our rapidly growing Oracle Cloud along with service infrastructure and deployments, including architecting and delivering automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure minimal human intervention and customer impact through proper blast radius control. The role will involve building and executing on a hiring plan for the team, setting the strategic vision and near-term roadmap items, and executing on delivery in an efficient manner. The successful hire will have a passion for automation and preventing customer impact, but in the event operational issues arise, they will have the ability to quickly assess the impact and appropriate mitigation steps to restore service. This is a highly visible and impactful role based in Nashville, TN. You will be co-located with key leadership to maximize collaboration, accelerate delivery, and support OCI's strategic growth initiatives.
