You’ll collaborate with peer engineering leaders to embed reliability into service roadmaps.
You’ll drive adoption of SRE principles (SLIs/SLOs/error budgets) and operate a healthy, daytime follow-the-sun on-call model in partnership with other regions. You will lead your team to make improvements in the overall operability, reliability, resilience, and security of the services we support.

- Lead and coordinate major incidents
- Measure MTTR, change failure rate, SLO posture, and repeat-incident reduction
Engineering & Automation

- Drive platform improvements and internal tools
What You’ll Bring
- 3+ years in managing Software, Platform, and/or Reliability Engineering
- Experience in IT Platform Engineering or Software Development
- Demonstrable experience leading engineering teams to predictably deliver outcomes
- Demonstrated success leading SLO/error-budget adoption and reliability programs for services
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives collaboratively with peers through influence

- Background in chaos/resilience/performance testing
- Experience in building or scaling SRE teams and influencing org-wide standards
- Coding background with experience improving service reliability
What You’ll Get
- 21 annual vacation days, additional days based on tenure, plus 4 extra global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
- Private health, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, including outpatient care, hospitalization, pregnancy monitoring, and psychology support
