• SLOs and Reliability Metrics: Define and track SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets with engineering and product, and use them to drive priorities.
• Cost and Efficiency: Drive cloud cost visibility and optimization across our infrastructure.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with product engineering, product, and leadership to align operational work with business priorities.

Requirements

• Experience: 8+ years in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with at least 3 years managing engineers.
• Technical Depth: Strong hands-on background with GCP, Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, and Terraform, with enough depth to guide technical decisions and review architecture.
• Observability: Solid experience with monitoring, logging, and tracing tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
• Incident Management: Proven experience leading incident response, on-call rotations, and post-mortems in production environments.Leadership: Track record of building, growing, and retaining high-performing technical teams.
• Communication: Ability to explain technical risks and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Additional Skills: Experience with Go or Python, FinOps, and fintech or regulated environments is a plus.
• These are the applicable requirements, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
