Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a Manager to lead the engineering team building and operating OCI’s cloud-scale DDoS protection platform and customer-facing DDoS product. The role involves collaborating on strategy and delivery for detection and mitigation systems while developing a high-performing team and ensuring operational excellence.
Responsibilities
- Define multi-quarter roadmap and quarterly plans for DDoS platform and product, aligned to OCI priorities and revenue goals
- Make data-driven tradeoffs across feature velocity, resiliency, and cost; manage build-vs-buy with clear ROI
- Lead new service development from concept and business case through GA: PRDs, architecture, stage gates, resourcing, and launch readiness
- Deliver low-latency, high-availability backend services for detection, classification, and mitigation across OCI’s global edge
- Drive scalable data and control planes (policy, signaling, telemetry, orchestration) with strong fault isolation and resiliency
- Guide anycast routing, BGP signaling, and traffic steering; integrate with OCI Networking, DNS, and edge services
- Oversee capacity modeling, scale testing, and multi-region readiness
- Establish and meet SLOs/SLAs and KPIs; ensure on-call health, incident readiness/response, and rigorous post-incident improvements
- Champion automation-first operations: CI/CD, test frameworks, canary/blue-green releases, and infrastructure-as-code
- Build robust observability (metrics, logs, traces) and near-real-time telemetry/streaming pipelines for detection at scale
- Govern threat modeling, architecture reviews, and risk remediation; ensure auditability and policy adherence for Tier 0 services
- Embed security and privacy by design; enforce zero trust principles and secure service-to-service communication (mTLS, policy)
- Hire, onboard, and grow a diverse, high-performing team; set clear OKRs, provide ongoing coaching and feedback, and drive career paths and succession planning
- Mentor senior ICs and emerging leaders; establish technical ladders, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing rituals
- Partner closely with Product, SRE, Networking, Architecture, and Security to land integrated capabilities and resilient outcomes
- Provide crisp executive updates on status, risks, mitigations, and outcomes
Skills
- 10+ years in network/security or backend engineering, including 4+ years leading engineering teams delivering production-critical services at scale
- Proven delivery of large-scale DDoS or network security programs in cloud, hyperscale, or ISP environments
- Strong systems and distributed design skills: concurrency, performance, resiliency, API design, and fault isolation
- Deep networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, BGP; DNS/DHCP understanding; ability to guide architectural decisions
- Hands-on fluency with automation-first operations and DevOps at scale: CI/CD, automated testing, rollout/rollback, config management, and IaC (e.g., Terraform)
- Proficiency with one or more: Java, Go, Python, C++, or Rust; strong preference for Java for control-plane/services
- Demonstrated leadership in incident management, resilience engineering, observability, and operational maturity
- Excellent stakeholder management and executive communication; data-driven prioritization and tradeoff decision-making
- Experience with anycast routing, traffic steering, multi-region service readiness, and capacity/scalability modeling
- Exposure to SDN, programmable data planes, or hardware mitigation platforms
- Advanced telemetry/streaming for near-real-time detection (e.g., high-rate packet/flow analytics)
- Containerization/orchestration and secure service-to-service communication (mTLS, policy)
- Familiarity with zero trust, segmentation, and modern security architectures
- Track record building inclusive teams; coaching frameworks; performance management best practices
