Principal Technical Program Manager (OCI/Developer Tools)

Description

The Opportunity

OCI is building the platform capabilities that provide developers and test teams with the environments they need to build, validate, and operate services effectively. This work spans environment provisioning, development and testing improvements, and region-build automation that enables OCI to scale infrastructure delivery with greater speed, reliability, and consistency.

As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will drive execution and delivery for high-impact programs across the environment provisioning platform. You will bring technical depth to architecture discussions, translate platform requirements into executable technical plans, and align senior engineering partners around reliable capabilities that improve the development and testing experience while accelerating region-building automation.

Why This Role

This is a high-leverage opportunity to improve the platform foundation on which OCI engineering teams develop and test services. Your programs will make environments faster to access, more reliable to use, and easier to operate, while accelerating the automation required to build and expand OCI regions at scale.

About OCI

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure delivers cloud services for organizations worldwide. The OCI Developer Platform team creates the capabilities that help engineering organizations build, deploy, and operate software with speed, confidence, and control.

Responsibilities

What You Will Do

• 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 that connect 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 such as provisioning latency, success rates, availability, capacity readiness, and operational incidents to prioritize investments and measure impact.
• Provide business operations support for the engineering organization by establishing KPI reporting, operating rhythms, roadmap alignment, and executive communications that clarify delivery health, tradeoffs, risks, and recommended actions.

What We Are Looking For

Required qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 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 an ability to understand provisioning workflows, APIs, control planes, service dependencies, capacity, networking, and operational constraints.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical strategy, architecture tradeoffs, and delivery risk to both engineers and executive stakeholders.

Preferred qualifications: Experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus.

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