As a Lead Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer on Oracle's Strategic Customer Engineering team, you will play a critical role in driving complex technical initiatives across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to support our most strategic customers. You will work across multiple service teams and cross-functional organizations to align technical requirements, resolve complex infrastructure challenges, and lead the end-to-end execution of high-impact engineering solutions that improve customer experience, reliability, and scalability.

You will serve as a technical subject matter expert, leveraging deep knowledge of cloud technologies, distributed systems, and architectural trade-offs to influence technical decisions and drive solutions across organizational boundaries. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on engineering expertise with exceptional communication skills and a demonstrated history of leading large-scale, complex technical initiatives from design through implementation.

• Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems supporting strategic customer environments.

• Serve as a technical subject matter expert, influencing engineering strategy, architectural decisions, and technical standards across OCI service teams.

• Drive end-to-end execution of complex, cross-organizational engineering initiatives, ensuring technical requirements, dependencies, and deliverables are aligned.

• Identify and resolve system scalability, performance, and reliability bottlenecks, optimizing infrastructure for high-throughput workloads and elastic scaling.

• Evaluate architectural trade-offs involving availability, consistency, durability, security, and performance to meet service level objectives (SLOs).

• Partner with Compute, Networking, Storage, Identity, and other OCI service teams to address cross-service dependencies and technical challenges.

• Design and implement infrastructure automation, tooling, and change management solutions that improve scalability, operational efficiency, and system resilience.

• Establish observability strategies, including telemetry, KPIs, dashboards, and alerting mechanisms to proactively monitor system health and performance.

• Lead complex technical investigations, incident response, and root cause analysis, driving solutions that prevent recurring issues and minimize customer disruption.

• Drive engineering best practices for system correctness, data integrity, security, compliance, and operational readiness across distributed environments.

• Advise engineering leadership on technical risks and architectural decisions while mentoring engineers and promoting continuous improvement across teams.
