Architect, Civil, Structural and Architectural

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking a senior technical architect to define and continuously evolve the next generation of civil and structural data center design across OCI's global data center infrastructure. This role will establish the reference architectures, technical standards, and design direction for civil, structural, and site infrastructure systems that support OCI's rapidly expanding hyperscale and AI data center footprint.

As a key technical authority, you will help build and scale OCI's Civil, Structural, Architectural (CSA) function with a focus on creating repeatable, globally deployable design patterns that improve speed to market, resiliency, constructability, cost efficiency, and long-term performance. You will partner closely with construction, operations, supply chain, and strategic delivery partners to influence design decisions, validate technical solutions, and drive adoption of innovative approaches that enable faster and more scalable execution.

This role is ideal for a deeply experienced CSA architect who can think strategically while also shaping the practical details that determine whether a design can be delivered quickly, consistently, and successfully at GW scale.

What you'll do

Architecture and Standards

• Develop and evolve OCI's global reference architectures for CSA data center systems.
• Establish technical standards for site development, structural frames, building envelopes, and supporting civil infrastructure.
• Define scalable design approaches that support hyperscale, AI, and GW-scale data center development while balancing reliability, constructability, speed to market, and lifecycle performance.
• Drive engineering standards that align with applicable codes, industry best practices, and OCI's long-term infrastructure strategy.
• Create design frameworks that support future campus growth, modular deployment, and evolving site requirements.

Design Function Development

• Help stand up and mature OCI's CSA capability as a global engineering function.
• Build repeatable design processes, standards, templates, and review mechanisms that improve consistency and shorten time from concept to deployment.
• Influence design governance in a way that accelerates decision-making without sacrificing quality or rigor.
• Translate lessons learned from deployed sites into improved standards and next-generation design patterns.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure CSA design decisions support OCI's broader infrastructure strategy.

Speed to Market, Efficiency, and Cost

• Develop designs that reduce schedule risk, improve constructability, and accelerate delivery across OCI's global fleet.
• Evaluate opportunities to simplify site development through standardization, modularization, prefabrication, and repeatable structural approaches.
• Lead total cost of ownership analyses that balance capex, opex, schedule, and lifecycle maintainability.
• Set engineering targets for design efficiency, material optimization, and deployment speed.
• Use data-driven analysis to identify opportunities to improve both speed to market and long-term site performance.

Design, Delivery, and Operations

• Provide technical leadership from concept through construction and operational handoff.
• Review and validate global standard civil and structural designs, site plans, and engineering calculations.
• Ensure designs are validated against OCI's engineering intent, operational requirements, and site development objectives.
• Partner with construction and operations teams to incorporate field learnings into future designs and standards.
• Support design validation and continuous improvement activities for next-generation deployments.
