What You’ll Be Doing

As a Lead Cloud Engineer, you will play a pivotal hands-on leadership role in defining, building, and scaling our global cloud platform—starting from a greenfield foundation. While the primary focus is on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), we also welcome candidates with a strong AWS background—particularly those experienced with AWS Control Tower—who are eager to embrace a new challenge and grow their expertise in the Oracle Cloud ecosystem.

Operating in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, you will influence how cloud technologies are adopted, governed, and optimized across the enterprise. Your mission is to design and lead the implementation of a resilient, secure, and cost-effective cloud ecosystem. You’ll work cross-functionally to embed best practices, enforce cloud security, and implement automation across infrastructure and operations.

Additionally, you will play a critical role in building and leading a newly forming team as part of a department in recovery mode—offering the unique opportunity to shape both the platform and the team from the ground up.

Your Role

• Act as a technical and strategic leader, spearheading a greenfield platform build.
• Lead the design, implementation, and scaling of cloud services ensuring high availability, performance, and cost-efficiency.
• Build and manage a new 5-person cloud engineering team (including senior, mid, and junior engineers), mentoring talent and fostering a culture of excellence.
• Guide the adoption of cloud-native tools, IaC practices (Terraform, Ansible), and DevOps automation pipelines.
• Collaborate deeply with key stakeholders : Security, Architecture, Platform Engineering, Development, and SRE teams.
• Lead the technical decision-making and cloud enablement strategy to ensure successful and sustainable cloud adoption.
• Oversee cloud administration, platform security, and environment lifecycle management.
• Champion agile delivery, continuous improvement, and cultural transformation across teams and departments.
