Job Description

As a Senior Manager, you will lead a team responsible for the development, operation, and improvement of large-scale OCI network fabrics and supporting systems. This role requires deep networking expertise, especially in automation of Network Clos fabrics, telemetry, and performance troubleshooting, combined with software engineering experience. You will build and improve tools, automation, monitoring, and operational systems that make these fabrics more reliable, observable, and efficient at global cloud scale.
You will work closely with Network Availability, Network Monitoring, GNOC, hardware engineering, and service teams to resolve complex customer escalations, improve operational readiness, and drive engineering programs that increase performance and availability. The ideal candidate brings both hands-on technical depth and strong people leadership, with experience managing engineers who operate and build software for large-scale distributed infrastructure.
