## Description

We're looking for a Lead SRE to own reliability outcomes for a modern split-plane, multi-region SaaS platform serving enterprise customers. This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on system design, reliability strategy, and cross-team execution.

You'll lead efforts that directly impact SLO attainment, MTTR reduction, and cost efficiency, while shaping how reliability is engineered, measured, and scaled across the platform.

What You'll Do

Define and drive reliability strategy across control-plane and data-plane systems, including multi-region resilience, BCDR, and failover design
Establish and operationalize SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets, ensuring they inform planning and engineering tradeoffs
Lead initiatives that measurably improve MTTR, incident prevention, and overall service health
Own incident management end-to-end, driving systemic fixes and long-term reliability improvements beyond immediate response
Lead architecture and design reviews to ensure systems meet scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency goals
Champion automation and modernization, including AI-driven reliability improvements
Establish and enforce code quality and review standards
Lead cross-functional initiatives and align engineering with product priorities
Mentor senior engineers and act as a technical leader across teams
