Software Development Snr Director

We are seeking aWe are seeking an experienced engineering leader to lead the software engineering group responsible for building and operating a new, enterprise-scale CI/CD platform that will standardize and automate software delivery across OCI.

This platform is foundational to engineering velocity, reliability, and security—enabling teams to safely and efficiently deploy changes at scale. As the leader of this organization, you will define the technical vision, drive execution across multiple teams, and build a high-performing engineering organization capable of delivering a mission-critical platform.

You will work closely with product and service teams across the company to drive adoption, ensure seamless integration, and continuously evolve the platform to meet the needs of a large and complex engineering ecosystem.

This role requires a combination of deep technical expertise in distributed systems and developer infrastructure, strong organizational leadership, and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries. 

Technical & Product Leadership
Define and drive the vision and long-term strategy for a next-generation CI/CD and software delivery platform.

Architect and evolve systems that support high-scale, reliable, and secure automated deployments across a large cloud environment.

Guide critical technical decisions, including build systems, deployment orchestration, release strategies, and developer workflows.

Execution & Delivery
Own end-to-end delivery of the platform, ensuring high-quality, predictable execution across multiple teams.

Lead the organization through clear, measurable OKRs, aligning engineering execution with business and platform outcomes.

Drive a culture of incremental delivery, enabling frequent, low-risk releases (e.g., daily or continuous deployment).

Establish best-in-class engineering processes for planning, prioritization, and release management.

Define and track key delivery metrics (e.g., deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate) to continuously improve performance and velocity.

Ensure teams balance speed with safety through strong testing, automation, and release guardrails.
People Leadership

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineering managers and senior engineers.

Build a strong engineering culture focused on ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with service teams across OCI to drive adoption of the CI/CD platform and standardize delivery practices.

Influence engineering practices across the broader organization through platform capabilities and standards.

Operational Ownership

Own the availability, performance, and scalability of the CI/CD platform.

Ensure robust observability, monitoring, and incident management practices.

Drive continuous improvements in system efficiency, cost optimization, and developer experience.

Champion secure-by-default and resilient deployment patterns across the ecosystem.
