Qualifications

• Experience leading large, distributed platform engineering teams.
• Ability to define 1–3 year strategic plans and execute.
• Strong focus on security, reliability, and developer experience at scale.

Responsibilities

• Translate platform strategy into a 1–3 year portfolio and operating plan; set outcome targets, approve investments, and govern milestone delivery for foundational services, runtimes, SDKs, and client libraries.
• Set and enforce group standards for platform architecture, API/SDK design and versioning, compatibility and deprecation policies, and resilience patterns; audit adoption and correct deviations to maintain quality and compliance.

• Establish operability requirements for platforms (SLO/SLI targets, telemetry/observability, dashboarding, incident/problem/change processes); require post-incident learnings to drive systematic improvements and reduce recurrence.
• Chair program-level design and release reviews focused on interoperability, performance, and compliance; adjudicate trade-offs across scalability, reliability, security, and cost; approve exceptions with compensating controls and time‑boxed remediation.
• Direct platform adoption and consumer success: publish reference implementations, migration guides, and adoption playbooks; measure consumer satisfaction, breakage rates, and upgrade velocity.
• Ensure security, privacy, and regulatory obligations are embedded (policy‑as‑code, SBOM/dependency governance, secrets/identity, least privilege); maintain audit‑ready documentation and evidence.
• Lead cross‑functional operating rhythms with Product, Design, SRE/Security, and peer engineering teams to align priorities, clear dependencies, and protect release predictability and ecosystem health.
• Standardize documentation and knowledge systems (ADR records, platform guides, API references); ensure traceability from requirements to release and operational outcomes.
• Manage budget, headcount, and vendors; set KPIs and drive continuous improvement, mentor Directors/Sr Directors; foster an inclusive, safety‑first, high‑performance culture.
• Ensures own large group operates in best interests of Oracle and our customers.
