People Manager

At Oracle Health, our mission is to improve healthcare and quality of life globally through better experiences and easier access to health and research data for patients, healthcare providers, and researchers. Oracle Health Applications & Infrastructure is building a modern cloud platform for healthcare applications and services. The Identity and Access Management organization provides the foundational security capabilities that protect sensitive healthcare data and enable trusted access across the Oracle Health ecosystem. We are looking for a hands-on engineering manager to lead the Authorization team within IAM. This team is responsible for designing, building, and operating critical authorization services that enable secure access decisions at scale. The work spans policy evaluation, role- and attribute-based access control, entitlement management, authorization APIs, auditability, reliability, and integration with applications and platform services. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems in distributed systems, identity, security, and cloud infrastructure. You will lead engineering teams working on services that must be secure, reliable, observable, and easy for application teams to adopt. You will partner closely with product, security, architecture, compliance, and application engineering teams to define strategy, deliver roadmap commitments, and continuously improve the operational posture of critical IAM services. You will be part of a team of smart, motivated, and diverse people, and you will be given the autonomy and support to do your best work. Oracle Health is growing quickly, and this role offers the opportunity to shape foundational authorization capabilities from the ground up.
