Job Summary
To support our growth, we are looking for an SRE Manager, in either UK or Italy.
As our Site Reliability Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for building and leading our Site Reliability Engineering team from the ground up. In this role, you will define the team structure, establish SRE practices and processes, and actively contribute as a hands-on engineer — especially in the early stages. You will work closely with the Director of Cloud & IT Infrastructure and collaborate with software engineering, DevOps, and IT operations teams to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our systems.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in IT operations or infrastructure engineering and has successfully led or coordinated technical teams. We are looking for someone who combines solid operational expertise with a natural inclination toward leadership, process building, and continuous improvement.
Job Responsibilities
- Build the SRE team from scratch: define roles, participate in hiring, onboard and mentor engineers.
- Define the SRE technical direction and operational roadmap, aligning reliability initiatives with business objectives and product priorities.
- Establish SRE practices, processes, and culture within the organization, including on-call rotations, incident management, and blameless post-mortems, fostering a culture of psychological safety and continuous learning.
- Define and track SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets in collaboration with engineering and product teams.
- Act as a hands-on contributor during the team ramp-up phase, directly involved in designing and operating critical infrastructure on Azure.
- Own the incident management process end-to-end: detection, response, escalation, resolution, and root cause analysis.
- Drive automation initiatives — including AI-assisted operations where applicable — to reduce toil and improve the operational efficiency of the team.
- Design and oversee monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions to ensure full visibility across systems and services.
- Own capacity planning and cloud cost governance, ensuring infrastructure scales efficiently while remaining cost-effective.
- Build and maintain a strong documentation culture: runbooks, operational procedures, incident playbooks, and architectural decisions.
- Collaborate with software engineering teams to embed reliability and operational readiness into the development lifecycle.
- Define and maintain disaster recovery plans, backup strategies, and business continuity procedures.
- Ensure that security best practices and compliance requirements are applied consistently across infrastructure and operations.
- Report on team performance, reliability metrics, and operational health to senior leadership.
Job Requirements
- A minimum of 3+ years of experience in an SRE role.
- A minimum of 1+ years of experience leading or coordinating a technical team, with demonstrated ability to hire, mentor, and develop engineers.
- Proven experience in IT operations, infrastructure engineering.
- Solid hands-on experience with Azure cloud services and cloud-based infrastructure management.
- Strong understanding of IT operations best practices, including incident management, change management, and service continuity.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, ELK stack).
