About The Position

As a Software Engineering Manager on the Multi-cloud team, you will lead a team of engineers building and operating services and platforms that enable cloud integration, interoperability, automation, and reliable service delivery. Your team will work across OCI, Oracle, and external partner teams to solve complex distributed systems problems involving cloud infrastructure, networking, identity, security, commercial integration, operability, and customer-facing service reliability. This is an AI-first team. We use AI-assisted engineering tools, including Codex, as part of our daily development workflow. You will be expected to model and drive effective use of AI across the team to improve engineering productivity, automate repetitive tasks, accelerate troubleshooting, improve documentation and testing, and increase the quality and maintainability of our systems. You will also guide the team in creating reusable prompts, workflows, tools, and AI skills that improve team execution. You will be accountable for team delivery, engineering quality, operational readiness, production reliability, and the growth and development engineers. This includes setting priorities, clarifying ownership, reviewing designs, improving execution processes, supporting incident response, ensuring durable follow-up from operational reviews, and helping engineers grow through feedback, coaching, mentoring, and career development. The ideal candidate has a strong technical background in cloud services, distributed systems, APIs, containerized services, and production operations, combined with the ability to lead people, manage execution, and collaborate effectively across organizational boundaries.
