Senior Director, Technical Program Management – Database Security

Senior Director, Technical Program Management – Database Security Location - Redwood City, CA

As part of the Oracle Database Division Security Program Office, you will play a key leadership role in defining, driving, and operationalizing security requirements across the entire Database Division. You will partner closely with Database Development, Security Engineering, Product Management, and the broader Oracle security community to advance the security posture of Oracle’s flagship RDBMS technologies and their integrations across OCI.

This role requires a senior technical leader with deep familiarity with relational database systems, SQL, storage engines, transaction processing, and the security models that govern them—ranging from authentication/authorization frameworks to auditing, encryption, redaction, and secure configuration baselines. You will lead cross-functional programs that translate evolving global security and regulatory regimes into actionable changes across the Oracle Database codebase, tooling ecosystem, and cloud service implementations.

You will guide engineering teams through planning, prioritization, and delivery of security features incorporated into the SaaS and On Prem release pipelines.

Your work will span complex compliance requirements (e.g., CISA, FedRAMP, GDPR, regional data residency mandates), customer escalations, vulnerability assessments, and multi-country regulations that impact how Oracle Database is developed, deployed, and operated. You will collaborate with engineering VPs, kernel architects, development managers, and global regulatory specialists to ensure that Oracle Database consistently meets the highest bar of enterprise and government security expectations.

This role is ideal for a self-starter with deep engineering and database experience, exceptional problem-solving capabilities, and strong business judgment. The successful candidate will have a proven background driving security adoption across large data-centric platforms.

With your expertise in global security requirements, regulatory frameworks, and secure engineering practices—combined with strong understanding of Oracle’s RDBMS architecture—you will shape Oracle’s security brand and strengthen the trust our global customers place in our database products.
