How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $178,991 (middle half $141,096–$225,584). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 11, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (4)
The posting is for a people-management role (Career Level M3) with explicit responsibilities for hiring, coaching, mentoring, and performance management of one or more engineering teams — classified accordingly as a Computer and Information Systems Manager rather than an individual-contributor developer SOC. However, the role carries substantial hands-on technical scope (architecture, escalations, cross-org technical initiatives), making 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
The seniority is assessed as Principal because the role spans multiple teams, drives org-wide technical direction across OKE control and data planes, and partners at the level of product management and cross-organizational OCI platform teams — well above a single-team Senior Manager scope.
The job description names very few concrete technologies beyond Kubernetes and distributed systems; 'observability', 'CI/CD', and 'OCI' are inferred from context sections rather than a formal requirements list and are marked as preferred accordingly.
No minimum years of experience or degree requirement is explicitly stated.
