Director of Cloud SRE: our view in 3 lines...
- The Role:This role is for a senior SRE leader focused on cloud reliability, observability tooling, and SRE standards across a global hybrid technology organization.
- The Person:The person will lead a team building internal reliability and observability tooling, set SRE strategy and architecture, and work with other SRE leaders to extend standards across cloud and on-premise environments.
- Requirements:The ideal candidate has experience with GCP, building and operating production systems, observability tooling, telemetry standards, developer pipeline integration, and cloud-native and on-premise environments.
About the role
We are looking for a Director of Cloud SRE to lead a team of engineering leaders and engineers responsible for federating core SRE principles across a global, hybrid technology organization. This role drives the strategy, architecture, and roadmap for our internal observability and reliability tooling — spanning telemetry standards, developer pipeline integration, and application team SRE maturity — and works in close partnership with peer SRE leaders to extend that strategy consistently across cloud-native and on-premise environments alike.
This is a builder's role as much as a leader's role. You will guide a team that develops internally-owned tooling built intentionally to remain vendor-agnostic so the organization is never architecturally locked to a single observability provider and drives Agentic AI deeper into our SRE ecosystem. While our primary application runtime is GCP, this leader must be equally comfortable partnering across the SRE organization to extend reliability and observability standards into data center, manufacturing, distribution, and global campus environments — meeting engineering and operations teams where they are, not just where the platform lives.
The ideal candidate blends technical depth with organizational fluency: someone who can sit in an architecture review and a roadmap planning session with equal credibility, who has personally built and operated production systems, and who can partner effectively across a broader SRE leadership team to advance a long-term, unified observability strategy.
