As a manager of the software engineering team, the candidate will apply their knowledge of software architecture to manage software development tasks associated with developing, debugging or designing software applications, operating systems and databases according to provided design specifications. Build enhancements within an existing software architecture and suggest improvements to the architecture. The ideal candidate is a clear, confident communicator who can translate complex technical and operational issues into actionable decisions, influence across team boundaries, and communicate effectively with their stakeholders.
We are looking for a leader who combines strong software delivery discipline with the ability to uphold OCI’s high operational bar in a fast-moving cloud infrastructure environment.
