Job Description

The Network Region Build (NRB) team is responsible for deploying greenfield infrastructure, establishing network connectivity for new (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) OCI regions, and enabling compute connectivity for child sites. This includes building and managing data center fabrics, edge networks, backbone, fiber metro networks, and supporting multi-cloud initiatives.

NRB provides 24x7 operational support during build phases and oversees network and server rack adds, decommissions, and capacity expansions. The team also drives automation, process improvements, and tool development in collaboration with Network Automation to enhance efficiency.

This role involves designing, deploying, and operating large-scale global cloud networks. It requires a deep understanding of network protocols and programming skills to support automation at scale. As OCI's cloud network spans a global footprint, this role supports a vast infrastructure of network devices and millions of connected servers across dedicated backbone and internet-based connectivity.

Responsibilities include participating in solution and architecture design, developing standalone features, supporting operational rotations, providing break-fix support, serving as an escalation point, and leading post-event root cause analysis. Additional duties include coordinating with automation services to develop and integrate tooling, scripting to automate routine tasks, and acting as an SME for network automation projects. The role also involves collaborating with vendors to resolve software bugs, qualifying new firmware/operating systems, and driving product roadmap influence.

Critical Focus Areas
