Associate Director of Product - Site Reliability Engineering (f/m/x)

The role

Foundations Alliance’s mission is to accelerate the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and highly available digital products at HelloFresh. We do this by providing services and platforms as a product that improve our internal software engineers’ productivity and the reliability of their applications. 

We are looking for an Associate Director of Product for the Site Reliability Engineering domain within our alliance who is highly passionate about making it easy for software engineers to design and run their applications reliably. In this role, you will have a large impact on the success of our business: by reducing the amount of effort required to maintain highly available and performant applications for our end customers, you enable our engineers to spend more time developing innovative features. 

What you’ll do 

• Develop and promote product vision and strategy for the Site Reliability Engineering domain to equip HelloFresh software engineers with the right tooling to deploy, release, monitor and maintain reliable micro-services and applications.
• Discover new product opportunities; validate and prioritize these opportunities based on data to assess impact and effort with appropriate confidence.
• Refine and own the design of the Incident Management process at HelloFresh, enabling us to respond to and recover from failure as efficiently as possible.
• Manage, coach, and mentor product managers in your domain.
• Translate and slice complex changes affecting core infrastructure designs, architectural patterns, and engineering practices into meaningful product iterations, enabling the delivery of iterative value to our internal customers.
• Define and monitor the key product success metrics for your domain in collaboration with your team.
• Contribute to defining our goals, and to the successful delivery of our strategies as part of the Foundation Alliance leadership team

What you’ll bring

• You are an experienced product leader who is passionate about and familiar with building critical platform products for technical, internal customers in an agile environment, e.g. for developer platforms, data and ML platforms, or security platforms. 
• Your customers are at the heart of all you do: you understand and anticipate engineers’ needs and have applied user insights to develop internal platforms before.
• You have a track record of using goal setting and strategy frameworks in a product context, e.g. OKRs or the “working backwards” methodology.
• You base your decisions on data and have defined and worked with success metrics for internally used products before. You are familiar with the concept of DORA metrics.
• You have an understanding of best practices in software engineering, devops practices, microservice architectures, observability, and reliability challenges. You have worked with SLOs before, and you are familiar with some CI/CD, logging, and monitoring tech stacks, e.g. Argo, Grafana, DataDog, etc.
• You have a good understanding of Incident Management processes.
• You are comfortable working with and communicate to a wide range of stakeholders - from developers to C-level executives.
• You are a passionate people manager, and as a leader you are familiar with coaching and mentoring concepts.
