Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly technical, execution-oriented Cloud Solutions Engineer to drive complex engineering engagements across a portfolio of strategic OCI customers.

This role combines cloud architecture and technical leadership with strong technical program management skills. The Cloud Solutions Engineer works across customers, OCI Product Engineering, systems integrators, Oracle delivery services, and account teams to turn technical priorities into coordinated execution.

The ideal candidate can understand the architecture and engineering problem, engage credibly with technical stakeholders, and then drive the people, dependencies, decisions, and deliverables required to achieve the customer outcome.

What You'll Do

Drive Technical Execution

• Lead complex technical initiatives from architecture and planning through production adoption.
• Translate customer priorities into clear technical plans with milestones, deliverables, owners, dependencies, and success criteria.
• Understand architectures deeply enough to identify technical risks, challenge assumptions, and help teams determine the right path forward.
• Coordinate customer engineering teams, systems integrators, Oracle delivery services, and OCI engineering around a common execution plan.
• Drive technical evaluations, migrations, modernization efforts, and new workload adoption.

Orchestrate Engineering Engagement

• Coordinate engineering engagement across multiple OCI services and organizations.
• Work directly with OCI Product Engineering to resolve blockers, manage dependencies, and deliver capabilities required by strategic workloads.
• Maintain clear ownership and accountability for engineering commitments.
• Drive cross-functional decisions and elevate issues when progress or customer outcomes are at risk.
• Ensure blockers remain actively managed through resolution rather than simply tracked.

Create Visibility & Accountability

• Maintain a clear view of workload milestones, engineering deliverables, risks, dependencies, and decisions.
• Establish an effective operating cadence across complex customer engagements.
• Communicate what changed, what matters, what is blocked, and what action or decision is required.
• Provide concise reporting to technical and executive stakeholders.
• Identify patterns across customers that require broader Product Engineering or leadership action.

Support the Customer Lifecycle

• Adoption: Drive the technical execution required to move strategic workloads into production.
• Growth: Coordinate engineering engagement around technical health, blockers, new capabilities, and expansion opportunities.
• Pursuits: Lead and program-manage technical evaluations and engineering engagements required to win new workloads.

What Success Looks Like

• Strategic workloads consistently advance through technical milestones and into production.
• Engineering commitments have clear owners and are delivered against agreed timelines.
• Technical and product blockers are identified early and driven to resolution.
• Customers, partners, delivery teams, and OCI engineering remain aligned on priorities and responsibilities.
• Customer-facing teams have a clear view of technical progress, risk, and required decisions.
• Product Engineering receives clear, prioritized requirements tied to customer and workload impact.
• Technical engagements result in production adoption, improved customer outcomes, or new workload wins.

Preferred Experience

Ideal candidates will have experience with:

• Cloud architecture, infrastructure, or large-scale distributed systems.
• OCI or another major public cloud platform.
• Driving complex technical programs spanning customers, engineering, partners, and delivery organizations.
• Enterprise migration, modernization, cloud-native, AI, or data workloads.
• Working with Product Engineering on product gaps, roadmap dependencies, escalations, and new capabilities.
• Managing technical milestones, dependencies, risks, and cross-functional deliverables.
• Communicating complex technical programs clearly to both engineering and executive audiences.

The strongest candidates combine technical depth with exceptional execution discipline. They can engage engineers on architecture and technical tradeoffs, create structure around ambiguous problems, hold stakeholders accountable, and drive complex cross-organizational efforts through to measurable customer outcomes.

Internal Responsibilities

• Lead complex technical initiatives from architecture and planning through production adoption.
• Translate customer priorities into clear technical plans with milestones, deliverables, owners, dependencies, and success criteria.
• Understand architectures deeply enough to identify technical risks, challenge assumptions, and help teams determine the right path forward.
• Coordinate customer engineering teams, systems integrators, Oracle delivery services, and OCI engineering around a common execution plan.
• Drive technical evaluations, migrations, modernization efforts, and new workload adoption.
