JOB TITLE: Lead Principal Technical Program Manager
The Lead Principal Technical Program Manager is a senior individual contributor role within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure team. This position leads integrated technical execution across scientific computing, genomics and pathogens workflows, and laboratory automation. The role involves driving complex programs by translating product priorities into executable plans, managing engineering capacity, and resolving technical dependencies across distributed teams. Key responsibilities include overseeing software delivery, site readiness, and vendor integration while establishing acceptance criteria for performance, security, and reproducibility. The candidate must navigate cloud infrastructure, data flows, and operational constraints to solve problems in computational and physical experimentation. Required skills include technical program management, systems engineering, and experience with distributed systems or automation. Preferred expertise includes bioinformatics, robotics, and implementing AI native engineering practices to improve organizational throughput and execution visibility.
Own integrated program planning and execution across scientific computing, laboratory automation, and shared scientific capabilities.
Translate product priorities and architectural direction into milestones, accountable owners, and measurable delivery outcomes.
Forecast engineering capacity, integration costs, equipment dependencies, and funding needs to recommend investment decisions.
Identify technical dependencies across service architecture, cloud infrastructure, and data flows to drive issues to resolution.
Establish readiness and acceptance criteria for integrated validation covering performance, security, and reproducibility.
Own program risk analysis by diagnosing threats early and developing practical recovery plans with clear impact recommendations.
Lead integrated delivery across geographically distributed engineering teams, customer laboratories, and equipment vendors.
Apply AI agents and automation to planning, dependency analysis, and validation to improve engineering execution.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
10+ years of relevant experience in technical program management, software engineering, systems engineering, or related technical delivery roles.
Demonstrated ability to independently lead critical programs from ambiguous objectives through integrated delivery, production readiness, and customer acceptance.
Technical depth to understand architecture, interfaces, and failure modes across cloud services, distributed systems, data platforms, or automation systems.
Experience managing delivery across geographically distributed teams, organizational boundaries, and partner boundaries.
Strong analytical judgment, written communication, executive presentation, and negotiation skills.
Experience delivering scientific computing or research data programs in areas such as genomics, bioinformatics, or pathogens research (preferred).
Experience delivering laboratory automation or robotics programs, including instrument integration and vendor coordination (preferred).
