INTRODUCTION
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OCI, is building and operating a global-scale cloud network that supports enterprise, government, AI, and cloud-native workloads. OCI’s global network provides the foundation for customer connectivity, regional expansion, inter-region traffic, Internet edge connectivity, and backbone transport across Oracle’s cloud footprint.
The Global Network Engineering Service Engineering team is responsible for developing, implementing, and operating OCI’s Internet and Backbone Services. These services include backbone routing, Internet edge connectivity, BGP policy, traffic engineering, monitoring, network security controls, service automation, operational tooling, and new network service capabilities.
We are seeking a Network Engineering Director to lead a team responsible for the engineering and operation of production network services across OCI’s Internet and Backbone infrastructure. This leader will manage engineers working across routing design, BGP policy, Internet and backbone service implementation, operational monitoring, service reliability, network security, automation, feature delivery, lifecycle management, and incident response.
This is a senior technical leadership role that requires strong network engineering depth, sound operational judgment, and experience leading teams that operate large-scale production networks. The successful candidate will set technical direction, improve operational mechanisms, lead service delivery, and drive measurable improvements in reliability, security, monitoring, automation, and operational efficiency.
The ideal candidate understands how global networks behave under scale, failure, change, and rapid customer growth. They will be comfortable reviewing routing and service designs, participating in production escalations, making risk-based decisions, and building teams that deliver reliable network services at cloud scale.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Network Engineering Director in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s Global Network Engineering organization, you will apply your extensive knowledge of large-scale IP networking, Internet edge services, backbone routing, BGP policy, traffic engineering, network security, monitoring, automation, and production operations to manage the engineering and operation of OCI’s Internet and Backbone Services.
You will lead a team responsible for developing, implementing, and operating highly available network services that support OCI’s global backbone, Internet connectivity, customer traffic, inter-region connectivity, and continued cloud expansion. You will set technical direction for routing design, service architecture, operational standards, monitoring strategy, change safety, and service reliability.
You will drive enhancements to existing network service architectures and envision future improvements in routing control, traffic engineering, telemetry, automation, network security, and operational efficiency. You will partner across architecture, operations, software engineering, security, capacity planning, and regional infrastructure teams to deliver scalable, secure, and reliable network services. You will use SDN and network control-plane capabilities where appropriate to improve consistency, validation, remediation, and operational safety.

Tips for Your Engineering Director Job Search
Quantify engineering org impact clearly
Hiring managers at this level care about scope: how many engineers you led, what delivery outcomes improved, and how your decisions affected product velocity or system reliability. Replace job duties on your resume with outcomes your org shipped or problems your leadership solved.
Tailor your leadership narrative by domain
An engineering director role at a fintech company emphasizes compliance-aware architecture decisions very differently than one at a consumer app startup. Read each job description for the leadership challenge they're hiring for and reframe your experience to match that exact context.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists engineering director openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for the systems design conversation
At director level, interviews often include a whiteboard or verbal systems design exercise focused on org design, not just architecture. Practice articulating how you'd structure a team around a scaling problem, including how you'd handle competing priorities across multiple engineering managers.
Negotiate total comp across all components
Engineering director offers typically include equity, bonus targets, and signing packages alongside base pay. Before your final conversation, know the vesting schedule, cliff terms, and bonus structure so you can evaluate offers against each other on a level basis.
Send a specific post-interview follow-up
After a panel interview at this level, a generic thank-you is forgettable. Reference one concrete problem raised in the interview and briefly describe how you've navigated something similar. It reinforces your candidacy and shows you were listening, not just presenting.
Engineering Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most engineering directors?
The companies hiring the most engineering directors right now include Quanta Infrastructure Solutions, Alvarez & Marsal, and Oracle, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is concentrated in technology, healthcare, and financial services sectors.
How many engineering director jobs are remote?
About 28% of engineering director openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, making it one of the more flexible senior leadership roles in technology hiring. Infrastructure, platform, and developer tooling sub-areas tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible positions compared to hardware or embedded systems roles.
How do you become an engineering director?
Most engineering directors move up from senior engineering manager or staff engineer roles by consistently expanding their scope across teams and business outcomes. Building credibility requires leading cross-functional initiatives, developing other managers, and demonstrating that your decisions improve delivery reliability and team health. Transitioning into a director title often follows a formal promotion cycle tied to org growth or a lateral move into a company where the role is open.
Can you get an engineering director role with limited management experience?
It's uncommon but possible, usually at smaller or earlier-stage companies where the scope of the role is narrower and the org is willing to grow someone into the full remit. The strongest candidates in this situation have led cross-functional projects with real delivery accountability, coached or mentored engineers informally, and can articulate a clear point of view on how to build and run high-performing teams.
What does the engineering director interview process look like?
The process typically runs four to six rounds and includes a recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on leadership philosophy and career narrative, a technical systems or architecture discussion, a panel with peer directors or product and design leaders, and a final executive interview. Some companies add a written leadership case study or ask candidates to present a past initiative. The process is slower than individual contributor hiring because director decisions involve significant cross-functional input.
Where can I find and apply to engineering director jobs?
You can find and apply to engineering director jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings for roles that match your industry background and leadership scope, then apply directly to each one that fits.
