About the role
Oracle is seeking an engineering director to build and lead a new Systems Firmware team in Bengaluru. You will hire the founding engineers, establish the team’s technical direction and culture, and take responsibility for outcomes that directly affect the reliability and serviceability of our server fleet.
Responsibilities
The team’s initial mission is to resolve BMC and BIOS firmware issues in production. Working closely with US engineering teams, infrastructure operations, hardware teams, and external partners, you will lead complex investigations, drive lasting fixes, and improve the diagnostics, testing, and release practices that prevent problems from recurring. The team will participate in on-call rotations during India daytime hours, complementing US coverage through coordinated response and clear technical handoffs.
You will start with four senior engineers and provide close technical leadership while building the practices and partnerships needed for the team to succeed. You will set priorities, develop your engineers, and balance immediate fleet needs with longer-term improvements in firmware quality, security, and operational efficiency.
You will also shape the team’s roadmap and future capability. As additional hiring is approved, our intent is to expand its responsibilities into firmware development and delivery for new server and GPU platforms. This includes working with original design manufacturers and joint design manufacturers (ODM/JDMs), particularly Taiwan-based partners, on platform requirements, firmware integration, bring-up, validation, and production readiness.
Requirements
This role calls for a leader with deep systems firmware expertise, sound operational judgment, and a record of building strong engineering teams. You should be comfortable guiding difficult technical investigations, holding partners accountable for delivery, and translating lessons from production into better engineering decisions.
