Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers mission-critical applications for top tier enterprises around the world. Our cloud offers unmatched hyper-scale, multi-tenant services deployed in more than 50 regions worldwide. OCI is expanding its mission beyond the traditional boundaries of public cloud to include dedicated, hybrid and multi cloud, edge computing, and more.  At Technical Strategy and Oversight (TSO) organization, our mission is to support customer choice, transparency, and value when it comes to cloud infrastructure. We’re embarking on ambitious new initiatives such as building new innovative platforms, high performance primitives, frameworks to support OCI developers, and new container runtime that will allow us to run the full variety of OCI services, including our most demanding, high-performance, high-availability services.  We’re also working on new ingenuities such as providing canonical implementation of core components for data planes through a data-plane runtime framework, developing a remote persistent storage solution with the latency and performance comparable to that of a local nVME drive, and developing standards and tools to identify critical performance improvements across OCI data-planes. We are hoping to enhance engineering efficiency by concentrating our expertise on building low level systems with high performance that can be adopted by our core cloud services across OCI. To meet the needs of our customers, we are building a new OCI Performance team and looking for an engineering leader to: build it from the ground up, grow it, work out new KPIs for internal service teams that highlight and drive their impact on the efficiency and availability of internal customers, build new services and tools to bring OCI’s next-generation cloud services to customers across a spectrum of new environments.  This is a greenfield opportunity to design and build new cloud services from the ground up. We are growing fast, still at an early stage, and working on ambitious new initiatives. You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, diverse people, and given the autonomy as well as support to do your best work. It is a dynamic and flexible workplace where you’ll belong and be encouraged. Who are we looking for? You have built and optimized high-scale cloud services and deeply understand what it takes to make them efficient, predictable, and cost-effective at scale. You have led performance-critical initiatives across complex cloud ecosystems and know how to embed performance as a first-class concern in architecture, development, and operations. You are passionate about driving measurable improvements in throughput, latency, resource efficiency, and reliability across services. You have built and led high-caliber engineering teams and have successfully driven cross-organizational initiatives. You have experience in building performance-oriented services, libraries, and platforms that influence a broad engineering ecosystem. You are technically strong and thrive at the intersection of engineering leadership and performance optimization. You’ve helped teams ship faster and safer through better tooling, observability, and engineering practices. You are hands-on where it matters - whether tuning systems, defining methodology, or guiding architecture reviews. You have a pragmatic bias for action and the leadership skills to drive adoption of performance engineering as a systemic discipline.
