The team partners closely with Oracle engineering, capacity planning, and regional delivery teams to **design and execute network solutions** that support new region builds, new data center launches, site and capacity expansions, and decommissioning activities. Through this work, the team ensures OCI can efficiently scale its footprint across existing regions while enabling expansion into entirely new geographies.
We are seeking a **Senior Manager of Network Development** to lead the **Topology Planning team,** a group focused on translating business and capacity demands into **robust, scalable, and highly available network designs.** This role requires a leader with deep experience in **network planning and engineering,** a passion for building and coaching high-performing teams, and the ability to guide designs from concept through delivery and throughout the platform lifecycle. Candidates should bring a strong operational mindset and a clear focus on reliability, quality, and customer experience.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate proven people leadership, the ability to **define and execute network strategy,** and experience validating and improving engineering practices, design delivery, and operational processes. Given the rapid growth and complexity of the organization, this leader must be comfortable operating across large, cross-functional teams-driving technical depth where needed while also **communicating clearly and effectively with senior executives** to influence direction and outcomes.
What are the biggest challenges for the team?
The primary challenge for the team is **planning and engineering network solutions that sustainably scale** to support OCI's exponential growth. This includes meeting the increasing capacity and performance demands of large-scale enterprise customers, dedicated cloud deployments, multi-cloud expansions, and continued growth across existing regions. The team is accountable for anticipating future demand and translating it into **resilient, efficient, and repeatable network architectures** that can scale reliably over time.
In this role, you will provide **technical and organizational leadership,** setting the vision, direction, and long-term strategy for the team. You will build and develop a high-performing organization capable of executing that strategy, working closely with **geographically distributed engineering, planning, and delivery teams.** Success requires strong ownership of **end-to-end planning and engineering outcomes,** ensuring large-scale initiatives are delivered on time, with high quality, and aligned with OCI's reliability, sustainability, and customer experience goals.

**Responsibilities:**
+ Own and develop highly available delivery plans.
+ Lead deployment, scaling and automation of programs across the physical network.
+ Attract, develop & manage a team of highly skilled engineers.
+ Define and develop roadmaps to deliver engineering and operational efficiencies.
+ Develop, grow, and maintain data-driven metric programs that speak to both the operational and business status of the services owned within the physical networking domain.
+ Solve difficult problems in distributed systems, infrastructure, and highly available services.
+ Collaborate with Program Management, Acquisition, Data Center, Design, Build and Operations teams, Network Engineering, Network Availability, Network Automation, Network Monitoring, and GNOC operations.
+ Support building and scaling organizations to deliver a highly available service to our customers.
+ Participate in on-call rotation for managers.
+ Manage both technical and non-technical projects.
**Qualifications:**
+ Thorough understanding of process development, network technologies including network design and fabrics, networking protocols, network automation, network telemetry and common hardware platforms.
+ 10+ years experience delivering and operating large scale, highly available network environments (large cloud, ISP, or service provider).
+ Demonstrated experience leading teams of direct reports, including coaching and mentoring junior team members, hiring, performance management and organizational planning.
+ Ability to work with cross-functional teams, dive deep, and communicate key metrics to senior management in a timely manner.
+ Ability to meet deadlines while managing multiple projects in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
+ Critical attention to detail.
+ Previous experience managing both technical and non-technical projects.
+ Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, or related field
+ Previous experience working in data center and/or service provider network environments, with a focus on operations.
+ Deep knowledge of networking technologies and protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, MPLS, etc.).
+ Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis experience.
+ Experience managing software development project a plus (but not required).
