Job description

Role overview

Lead a small, senior SRE team for a high-availability consumer fintech platform, combining people leadership with sustained hands-on coding and building. You will define service ownership, observability, and incident practices, set the technical bar by writing production code yourself, and partner across engineering to raise the reliability of customer-facing systems. It is a builder's leadership role measured by what the team ships as much as by the operating model put around it.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a senior SRE team, focusing the group on high-leverage reliability work instead of manual, ticket-driven response.
• Write production code, build automation and tooling, contribute to the team codebase, and lead by example in design and code review.
• Define service ownership, alerting, dashboards, runbooks, deploy and rollback safety, and run regular service-health reviews.
• Run incident command when needed, drive verified remediation, and prevent recurrence through self-service tooling and runbook automation.
• Design durable on-call coverage through staffing, handoffs, and automation rather than open-ended volunteer hours.
• Partner with service teams and engineering leaders to raise reliability standards while holding clear boundaries between SRE enablement and service-team ownership.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering foundation with current production-quality coding in a modern language such as Python or Go.
• Real reliability depth for production systems and services at scale, ideally in consumer, fintech, or other high-availability environments.
• Background built at a high-bar, high-scale engineering organization with a strong engineering culture.
• Recent people-leadership experience managing a small engineering team within roughly the last few years.
• Hands-on experience with observability, alerting, safe deploys, automation, and incident command, building these rather than only specifying them.
• Calm, credible communication with team members, partner teams, and during live incidents.

Benefits and work setup

• Fully remote within the United States.
• Competitive base salary with stock options and health benefits from day one.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Flexible time off and growth opportunities in a mission-driven, inclusive culture.
