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.

Experience with cloud infrastructure, AI/ML infrastructure, GPU operations, fleet management, or large-scale distributed systems.
Experience supporting AI training or inference environments.
Familiarity with GPU platforms including NVIDIA and AMD ecosystems.
Experience with hardware repair operations, supply chain programs, spares management, or RMA processes.
Experience working with SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or Data Center Operations organizations.
Experience building operational reporting, telemetry, dashboards, or automation solutions.
Knowledge of incident management, operational readiness, change governance, and service reliability practices.
PMP, Scrum Master, SAFe, ITIL, or similar program management certifications preferred.

Success Measures

Success in this role will be measured through:

Improvements in AI Infrastructure fleet availability and repair efficiency.
Reduction in repair backlog and cycle time.
Increased visibility into customer fleet health and operational risk.
Effective execution of strategic repair and fleet health programs.
Increased automation and reduction of operational toil.
