At Vercel, our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products and that goes hand in hand with creating an environment where you can do the best work of your life.

About the Role:

As SRE Manager, you will lead the creation and operation of a 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering function for Vercel. Your primary goal is to act as the eyes and ears of the engineering organization, using telemetry, inquiry, and defined service objectives to ensure that high standards of quality are upheld across Vercel engineering.  You will partner with developer teams to ensure that reliability, performance, and cost efficiency are consistently integrated into their priorities, and you will provide engineering support to ensure these goals are met together.

Your primary methods of achieving these goals should include: establishing and modeling a strong culture of ownership and accountability; developing collaborative relationships with developer teams; and driving candid, detail-oriented and solution-oriented conversations around technical risks and how best to manage them.

What You Will Do:

  • Build & nurture the SRE team at Vercel, holding a high bar for technical work and teamwork.  Build rapport with each member of the team and support them as they level up their skills.
  • Define and maintain company-wide practices around SLO definition and management, incident management, postmortem analysis, and disaster testing and recovery.
  • Generate informed insights regarding service quality and interface directly with executive leadership to communicate risks and opportunities and influence cross-engineering prioritization.
  • Partner more specifically with CDN and Compute engineering teams to define and manage SRE-driven project initiatives that improve the robustness and operational efficiency of the company’s most critical serving systems.

About You:

  • At least 5 years experience in an SRE role, or at least 8 years experience in an adjacent role (e.g. platform engineering), operating in a scaled environment.
  • At least 3 years experience in engineering management.
  • Firm grasp of the SRE philosophy and mindset, with practical experience working on or directly with SRE teams that have proactively engaged in system design and improvement.
  • Strong sense of accountability and commitment to problem solving, backed by a curiosity to dig deep and identify root causes.
  • Willingness to proactively engage with development teams to influence the course of software design and operational practices.
  • Capability to manage risk, make decisions, and exhibit sound judgment
  • Demonstrated ability to plan and deliver long-term projects
  • Experience with distributed system design
  • Experience and comfort with cloud, networking, software, and operating system concepts

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
