<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">As the Manager of Site Reliability Engineering, you'll lead a team of SRE Automation Engineers while remaining a hands-on technical authority for our Brokerage-as-a-Service platform. This isn't a purely people-management seat, you're expected to bring the same principal-level SRE depth to automation design and engineering as an individual contributor, while also building the team, setting technical direction, and developing your engineers' careers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This role is centered on reducing manual toil through engineering, applying Google's SRE principles: SLOs, error budgets, blameless postmortems, and systematic toil reduction, adapted to a regulated brokerage environment. You'll carry two responsibilities at once: driving the automation agenda, building and orchestrating workflows in Rundeck and Airflow to eliminate repetitive work, and growing your team of SRE Automation Engineers into a high-functioning automation practice. You'll guide the design of internal SRE platforms, automate complex workflows, and ensure our Kubernetes-based and colo ecosystems can handle the demands of global financial markets, while owning the people side of the team: mentorship, performance, and growth, and the day-to-day management of the team's Jira board. While this role includes participation in on-call rotations supporting our 24/7 global operations, your primary mission is to build systems that make manual intervention obsolete, and a team capable of sustaining that mission.<br></span></p>
