Responsibilities

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the engineering strategy and roadmap for Oracle’s Digital Twin platform.

  • Lead the development of scalable services for digital models, telemetry, state management, relationships, simulation, and real-time analytics.

  • Build AI agents that reason over twin data, enterprise knowledge, telemetry, and operational systems to investigate, recommend, and automate actions.

  • Establish reusable capabilities for RAG, graph-based retrieval, agent orchestration, tool use, memory, evaluation, and human approval.

  • Ensure AI-driven actions are secure, explainable, auditable, and governed by appropriate controls.

  • Own architecture, reliability, performance, security, cost, and operational readiness for the platform.

  • Partner with product management, applied science, design, OCI teams, and customers to translate business needs into scalable product capabilities.

  • Recruit, develop, and lead engineering managers, architects, AI engineers, and software engineers.

  • Experience delivering products involving generative AI, machine learning, RAG, AI agents, or agentic orchestration.

  • Familiarity with graph systems, vector search, event streaming, time-series data, simulation, or digital twin technologies.

  • Experience taking complex products from concept through production and enterprise adoption.

  • Strong product judgment, customer focus, and ability to lead through ambiguity.

  • Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with digital twins, IoT, industrial systems, cloud operations, or simulation platforms.

  • Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, OCI Generative AI Agents, or similar technologies.

  • Knowledge of LLMOps, agent evaluation, model monitoring, AI governance, and responsible AI.

  • Experience applying AI agents to root-cause analysis, predictive maintenance, optimization, incident response, or automated remediation.

  • Experience with OCI, Oracle Database, Kubernetes, graph databases, streaming platforms, or vector databases.
