## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Google SRE Fundamentals : Working knowledge of Google's SRE practices—SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, toil reduction, and blameless postmortems—and experience adapting them to a regulated environment
- Linux & Networking Mastery : Proficient in Linux administration with a deep understanding of the TCP/IP stack, OSI model, DNS, and network troubleshooting
- FinTech Background : Experience working in highly regulated financial environments or with FIX/API connectivity
- Production Kubernetes : Hands-on experience managing production-grade clusters, including RBAC, autoscaling, Helm, and multi-cluster patterns
- Cloud Native Expertise (AWS) : Strong grasp of AWS core services, security, and high-availability patterns. Proficiency with boto3 and AWS CLI for automation
- Modern CI/CD & GitOps : Experience building secure, automated delivery pipelines and operating GitOps workflows (ArgoCD)
