Head of Reliability Engineering (Senior Manager level)

Hybrid | New Hampshire Seacoast and Greater Boston commuting area

Our client is a growing, well-established, technology-driven business. They are adding a senior reliability leader to an existing engineering organization. This is a rare chance to shape how reliability is done at a company that treats uptime as a business priority.

The opportunity

• Set the reliability vision and the roadmap for how it matures, and stay hands-on with engineers.
• Work with partners as well as employees, so influence and clear communication matter as much as technical depth.
• Push the practice toward proactive work: anomaly detection, automated repair and practical use of AI.
• Work closely with senior technology leaders on priorities and results.

What you'll own

• SLOs, SLIs and error budgets for business-critical platforms.
• Incident command for high-severity events, plus blameless RCAs.
• Infrastructure as code, CI/CD, safe deployment practices and automated rollback.
• Observability across metrics, logs and traces.
• Readiness standards, disaster recovery testing and resilience validation.
• Partnership with engineering, security and infrastructure.

What you bring

• 7+ years in SRE, DevOps or production engineering, with experience leading people or a function.
• Proven success maturing a reliability practice.
• Working knowledge of a major cloud platform (AWS preferred; Azure is fine) and distributed systems.
• Hands-on observability and CI/CD experience.
• Incident management experience in high-availability environments.

Schedule: Hybrid, 3 days in office. Candidates must live within a commutable distance.
