SRE Manager – Reliability Engineering, Automation & Operational Excellence

Role Overview

Step into a technically hands-on SRE leadership role where you will engineer reliability – not just manage it. Own architecture for monitoring and automation, review infrastructure-as-code with rigor, author operational designs, and personally dive into complex incidents.

Bring an engineering-first mindset: be the leader who sees beyond what is currently working, identifies risks before they become incidents, champions AIOps, and actively expands the team into adjacent platform engineering.

You will lead a 15+ member team supporting large-scale cloud platform reliability across multiple workstreams – driving operational excellence, cloud cost efficiency, and engineering innovation. This is a high-visibility role as the single point of accountability between the vendor team and client engineering leads.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Leadership

- Author runbook designs, define operational architecture, standardize procedures, and continuously raise the reliability bar

Delivery & Execution
- Drive delivery in Agile/Scrum against contractual commitments: sprint progress, capacity management, delivery forecasting
- Manage on-call rotation with health tracking (burnout, incident volume, team well-being)
- Drive incident management excellence: SLA targets, post-incident reviews, MTTD/MTTR tracking, corrective actions, systemic improvements
- Drive deployment operations: staged rollouts, Blue/Green deployments, deployment validation gates, secure deployment practices across cluster-based infrastructure
