Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is undertaking a greenfield initiative to design and build foundational infrastructure and platform solutions. We are seeking a Consulting Member of Technical Staff to play a critical technical leadership role in shaping, designing, and delivering this next-generation system. This is a unique opportunity to work on a zero-to-one effort, influence foundational architecture, and set the engineering direction for a strategic new area within OCI.

 

You will lead the design and development of software systems as part of a greenfield initiative focused on building new infrastructure and automation capabilities from the ground up. This role involves defining high-level technical objectives, establishing delivery milestones, and driving the execution of complex software projects. The candidate will often serve as the project’s technical lead, coordinating the efforts of a small team of engineers, advising project and program managers, and collaborating with both immediate and senior leadership to ensure alignment with long-term organizational goals and innovation strategies.

 

You’ll also mentor engineers at all levels, fostering a culture of engineering excellence and continuous learning. Your experience and leadership will help shape the team’s practices around software craftsmanship, service ownership, and cloud-native design.

 

This position requires deep technical expertise in distributed systems, a strong bias toward action, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where you’ll help bring structure and clarity to greenfield development.
