Senior Manager, Cloud Platform & Site Reliability

requirements. Oversee incident management and escalation processes for high-severity production issues, ensuring clear communication, rapid resolution, and systemic follow-through. Translate recurring operational pain points and customer feedback into roadmap priorities, product improvements, and runbook enhancements across both teams. Ensure best practices for CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, Kubernetes, and cloud resource management are consistently adopted and maintained across the org. Partner with forward-deployed and customer success teams to support enterprise accounts with strict SLAs and complex infrastructure

requirements. Navigate ambiguity and make sound architectural and organizational tradeoffs, avoiding unnecessary complexity while enabling your teams to move fast. Demonstrate accountability, pride of ownership, and high standards — and expect the same from your leads and their teams.

REQUIREMENTS Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. Proven experience managing managers and leading multiple high-performing infrastructure, platform, or SRE teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Deep technical expertise in Kubernetes (multi-cloud across EKS, GKE, or similar), cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems, with the ability to engage credibly in architectural and operational decisions. Hands-on background with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins); familiarity with GitOps workflows (e.g., Flux CD, ArgoCD, Helm). Strong foundation in observability tooling — metrics (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics), logging (Loki, ELK), dashboards (Grafana), tracing (OpenTelemetry) — and a track record of raising reliability standards through SLOs, SLIs, and observability-as-code. Experience owning incident management and enterprise SLAs at scale, including executive-level communication during high-severity incidents and rigorous post-incident follow-through. Demonstrated ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder technical initiatives from scoping through execution, balancing engineering excellence with pragmatic delivery. Strong communication skills with executive presence, capable of representing technical work clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. No prior machine learning experience required, but should be open to learning about ML infrastructure and model serving.

BONUS Familiarity with running high-performance AI models and workloads, including troubleshooting ML pipelines from preprocessing through inference and serving. Experience with GPU infrastructure, including fractional GPU provisioning and multi-node model serving (e.g., on H100s or B200s). Experience with incident management platforms (e.g., incident.io, PagerDuty) and building AI-assisted tooling for incident triage and response. Experience scaling an SRE practice: defining runbook standards, building self-healing automations, and converting high-frequency failure patterns into systematic mitigations.
