Senior Manager, Platform Software Engineering, AI Acceleration, Developer Tools

The Developer Tools space is evolving rapidly as advances in large language

models (LLMs), AI agents, and intelligent automation create new possibilities

for how software is designed, built, tested, deployed, and operated. Many of the

most valuable problems in this space do not yet have established solutions,

architectures, or even clearly defined requirements. Success in this role

therefore requires a leader who is comfortable operating in highly ambiguous

environments, can identify the right problems to solve, and can turn emerging

technologies and loosely defined opportunities into a clear engineering strategy

and executable roadmap.

As a Senior Manager, you will provide both organizational and technical

leadership. You will build and develop a high-performing engineering team,

establish priorities and operating mechanisms, and create clarity where

requirements and technical approaches are still evolving. You will work closely

with senior engineers, product managers, data scientists, AI/ML teams, and OCI

service organizations to identify high-impact opportunities and take them from

early exploration through architecture, production deployment, and broad

adoption.

You will be expected to balance experimentation with disciplined

execution—enabling teams to move quickly in a rapidly changing AI landscape

while maintaining the engineering rigor, security, reliability, and operational

excellence expected of OCI services.

RESPONSIBILITIES

* Build, lead, and develop a high-performing engineering organization, hiring

and growing engineers and technical leaders while establishing a culture of

ownership, technical excellence, collaboration, and customer focus.

* Create clarity from ambiguity by identifying high-value problems, defining

engineering priorities, making informed tradeoffs with incomplete

information, and translating broad opportunities in AI and developer

productivity into actionable strategies and roadmaps.

* Define and drive the engineering strategy for AI-powered developer tools,

platforms, and intelligent software development workflows, balancing

near-term delivery with longer-term platform investments.

* Partner across product management, AI/ML, data science, platform engineering,

and OCI service teams to establish shared priorities, influence technical

direction, and drive complex initiatives across organizational boundaries.

* Provide strong technical leadership across distributed systems, cloud-native

architectures, AI/LLM integration, developer platforms, data and evaluation

systems, ensuring architectural decisions support scale, extensibility,

security, and operational excellence.

* Establish mechanisms for rapid experimentation and learning, enabling teams

to evaluate emerging AI technologies, validate hypotheses with developers,

and make data-driven decisions about where to invest.

* Drive predictable execution across multiple concurrent initiatives,

proactively identifying dependencies and risks, removing organizational and

technical blockers, and holding teams accountable for measurable outcomes.

* Define success metrics for AI-powered developer experiences, including

developer adoption, quality, productivity impact, reliability, latency, and

cost efficiency, and use those signals to continuously refine strategy and

priorities.

* Develop senior engineers and emerging leaders through coaching, delegation,

technical sponsorship, and clear expectations, increasing the organization’s

ability to operate independently and at scale.

* Represent the organization in architecture reviews, planning discussions, and

leadership forums, communicating complex technical and organizational topics

clearly and influencing decisions beyond the immediate team.

Required Qualifications

* 10+ years of software engineering experience, including experience designing

and delivering complex production systems, with 3+ years of engineering

management experience leading and developing software engineering teams.

* Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, take ownership of loosely

defined problem spaces, establish direction with incomplete information, and

turn complex technical and business opportunities into executable engineering

plans.

* Strong technical foundation in distributed systems, cloud-native

architectures, developer platforms, or large-scale backend services, with the

judgment to guide architecture, challenge technical assumptions, and make

pragmatic engineering tradeoffs.

* Proven track record of building, developing, and retaining high-performing

engineering teams, including coaching senior engineers, developing technical

leaders, and creating strong ownership and accountability.

* Experience driving complex initiatives from early exploration and

architecture through production delivery, operational maturity, and adoption,

including managing dependencies and priorities across multiple teams.

* Strong understanding of AI/ML and LLM technologies and the opportunities and

engineering challenges associated with applying them to developer

productivity, automation, or intelligent software development experiences.

* BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical

field, or equivalent practical experience.

Desired Qualifications

* Experience building AI-powered developer tools, intelligent development

workflows, coding or engineering assistants, testing platforms, software

delivery automation, or developer productivity systems.

* Practical understanding of LLMs, AI agents, retrieval and context techniques,

model evaluation, AI inference systems, and emerging agentic development

patterns, including the challenges involved in operating these technologies

reliably in production.

* Experience building and operating platforms or services at public-cloud or

large enterprise scale, with a strong understanding of reliability,

observability, security, performance, and cost efficiency.

* Experience defining and using developer productivity, platform adoption, AI

quality, or business-impact metrics to evaluate investments and guide

engineering and product strategy.

* Track record of establishing new teams, technical charters, or platform

capabilities in emerging problem spaces, successfully navigating uncertainty

and taking ideas from experimentation to sustained production adoption.
