Director Of Software Engineering, Health Knowledge Platform

Oracle Health & AI Director Of Software Engineering

Oracle Health & AI is building a cloud-native knowledge platform that powers healthcare understanding at scale. The platform includes a knowledge graph modeling healthcare ontologies and terminologies, a vector search store for semantic retrieval, a federated component enabling AI agent teams to bring their own data into the platform securely, and curation tools for clinical terminology experts to edit and add relationships, enriching the core graph.

We're seeking a Director of Software Engineering to lead the design, delivery, and operation platform components outside the core data layer. You will set the technical vision, grow and coach a high-performing team of ~15 ICs (scaling to include managers over time), and partner closely with AI agent teams, terminology experts, and product application teams across a 6,000-person organization.

You will own architecture and execution for knowledge graph services, vector search, federation, APIs, pipelines, and curation tooling. Define and deliver graph capabilities, build vector search for hybrid retrieval, provide secure, scalable federation patterns, deliver human-in-the-loop curation workflows, establish strong engineering practices, lead day-to-day operations, collaborate across teams to align strategy and deliver business impact, and recruit, mentor, and develop senior ICs and future managers.

You should be user-obsessed and pragmatic, a systems thinker, a strong communicator, a hands-on leader, and comfortable with ambiguity and greenfield problem spaces. You must have a BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience, 10+ years building and operating cloud services, 7+ years leading engineering teams, proven success building and scaling platform products, a strong foundation in distributed systems, data modeling, storage, and service APIs, and demonstrated leadership in instituting robust engineering practices.

Success measures include reliable, performant graph and vector services, secure, scalable federation, efficient, auditable curation workflows, clear cost/performance gains, and a healthy team culture.

As a director of the software engineering division, you will manage software development tasks associated with developing, debugging or designing software applications, operating systems and databases according to provided design specifications. Build enhancements within an existing software architecture and envision future improvements to the architecture.
