Principal Technical Program Manager
Summary
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Region Build Platform team is seeking a Technical Program Manager to improve how OCI services are tested, prepared, and deployed into new cloud regions. Our team connects service engineering, Region Build operations, and platform tooling teams to deliver reliable builds and advance toward automated, touchless region deployment.
You will drive programs across service onboarding, test lab readiness, and region build automation. This includes expanding adoption and ongoing use of test environments, coordinating end-to-end validation, and ensuring service configurations and dependencies are ready before a region build begins.
During active builds, you will work with engineers to understand failures, identify downstream impact, establish clear ownership, and drive recovery plans through successful validation. You will use those findings to prioritize long-term fixes, close testing gaps, reduce configuration drift, and eliminate repeated manual intervention across future builds.
We are looking for someone who can translate complex technical dependencies into executable plans, assess readiness using test and build evidence, and communicate clear risks and decisions to leadership. Success in this role means faster and more predictable region builds, effective use of test environments, and measurable reductions in recurring failures and operational effort.
