Sr. Manager, Software Engineering – Data Services

Oracle believes in empowering people to do more, through world class capabilities in analytics. We are the Data Services team within Oracle Analytics, responsible for innovating, building, and supporting data service management technologies and capabilities that support our diverse portfolio of products.

Data Services organization mission is to provide an easy way to develop advanced analytical and AI applications combining data from across the entire Oracle ecosystem including Databases, Applications, and Object Storages. Data Services already provides a wide array of capabilities for data management and processing, through Big Data Service, Data Catalog, Data Flow, Data Integration Service, and Data Lake. However, the customers must integrate and navigate through these services to implement their use cases such as Lakehouses, AI/ML training, or BI dashboards. We are building a new data product to give customers a single pane of glass where they can load and secure data, author Spark notebooks, define data feeds and pipelines, query data with SQL and share data to others.

The Data Services team is looking for a hands-on, highly motivated engineering leader who has a broad range of experience in cloud computing, software development, and DevOps. You will be involved in architecture, design, development, and operations of the various aspects of the new service. We are in the early stages of the product development and your contribution will have a deep impact on the design and implementation of the new service. 

You will be responsible for applying your extensive knowledge of cloud infrastructure to manage the design and development of the Control Plane of the new service. This is a core part of the new service as it provides the provisioning and lifecycle of all components of the data platform. Your technical and project management skills will be critical to deliver the infrastructure on an aggressive schedule. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment which requires agility, ability to adapt as priorities shift, and a passion to deliver high quality solutions, while developing engineers. You should value simplicity and scale, work comfortably in a collaborative, agile environment, and be excited to learn.

The job requires you to lead the path as the manager and leader for the team and would require frequent interaction with other internal product development teams as well as cross-functional teams (Product Management, Security, UX team and Technical Writers) to design, build and lead from the front. 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’ve built and operated high-scale cloud infrastructure services and understand how to continuously improve the technology and grow the business. You have experience working with services that require data to travel long distances but must abide by compliance and regulations. You have built, grew, and managed distributed multinational teams, and owned design, delivery, and operations of a prominent public cloud service. 

You are technically strong and have worked on services that are highly available, scalable, and resilient. You can balance feature delivery with iteration and incremental improvements. You’ve made life easier for your engineers and have motivated your teams to make both process and service improvements. You know how to wear the hats of an engineering leader, product owner and project manager at the same time and get a lot done daily.
