Senior Manager, Core Infrastructure Engineering

Location: Seattle, WA, United States

The IOD SRE organization is hiring a hands-on Senior Manager to lead its US-based growing Site Reliability Engineering team, one of three teams (United States, Europe, India) that run the service in a follow-the-sun model. You will own the availability, security posture and operational excellence of IOD for the realms your team is accountable for and you will lead the work to make the service quieter, safer and more automated.
This is a role for a leader who still likes to understand the stack: you can read a postmortem critically, challenge an automation design and go deep on a production issue when it matters, while spending most of your time setting direction, growing people and removing obstacles.

Manages team delivering scalable distributed systems and components on a 2–4 quarter horizon. Standardizes engineering practices and scalability requirements across teams; oversees optimization for high‑throughput, hyper‑scale workloads; and ensures effective use of distributed state tools and data plane platforms. Guides teams to design fault‑tolerant, in‑service‑upgradable systems, set SLO‑aligned durability/availability targets, and implement resiliency mechanisms (load‑shedding, throttling, rate‑limiting). Provides oversight for KPIs, telemetry, and moderately complex dashboards; directs design of functional/correctness requirements, fault‑injection tests, and replication/synchronization strategies. Ensures proactive incident management, operational readiness, and on‑call coverage; drives encryption/access control practices, remediation plans, and compliance documentation. Oversees development and maintenance of automation/IaC and partners with teams on change‑management plans enabling safe patching, updates, and rollbacks.
