Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a strategic growth area for Oracle. OCI delivers a comprehensive cloud platform spanning Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). As OCI continues to scale its AI Infrastructure footprint globally, maintaining fleet availability, repair efficiency, and operational excellence is critical to customer success.
The Fleet Health organization is responsible for improving AI Infrastructure availability and repair process efficiency by bringing together engineering, operations, and program management under a unified operating model. The organization owns strategic customer fleet tracking, repair coordination, spares management, platform issue tracking, tooling requirements, and executive reporting.
We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to join the AI Infrastructure Repair Program team in Bangalore. In this role, you will lead complex, cross-functional programs focused on AI Infrastructure repair operations, fleet health, customer availability, and operational governance. You will work across engineering, SRE, operations, supply chain, hardware partners, and executive stakeholders to drive measurable improvements in fleet availability, repair execution, and operational efficiency.
This is a high-visibility role requiring strong technical program management capabilities, operational rigor, and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries while operating in a rapidly scaling environment.
