Platform Reliability Lead for Regulated Money Systems

Cielo Projects; New York (NY); On-site; USD 165,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Quant is building its New York team to recruit a Head of Platform Reliability who will own the reliability of our critical platform infrastructure. You will define service levels, establish the error budget policy, and have the authority to stop a release when the budget is spent.

You will lead the engineering team responsible for running it, designing the rotation and ensuring robust, predictable production systems.

Qualifications

• Led site reliability or production engineering somewhere failure had consequences.
• Ran error budgets in practice — used one to stop a release, and defended the call
• Honest experience of continuous coverage — what burns people out, rotation you can live with
• Kubernetes, Terraform, and an observability stack you have actually debugged, rather than configured.

Responsibilities

• Own reliability by defining service levels, setting the error budget policy, and having authority to stop a release when the budget is spent.
• Build and lead the engineering team that runs it, on a rotation you design.
• Tackle stateful infrastructure where restarts aren’t a strategy and protocol behavior can look like infrastructure.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure platform reliability for regulated money in production.
