About the Role:

As SRE Manager, you will lead the creation and operation of a 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering function for Vercel.

  • 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.
