Vice President – Site Reliability Engineering, Data Centers
Job Description:
• Oversee a specialized SRE team focused on the design, deployment, and maintenance of automation toolsets as well as the systems they interact with.
• Establish and enforce standards for IaC to ensure consistent, repeatable, and secure deployments across an entire infrastructure ecosystem. Strong proficiency in Terraform is required.
• Lead the strategy for automated configuration and state management, ensuring Ansible playbooks and Packer image pipelines are optimized for both Windows, Linux, and ESXi Platforms.
• Manage the monitoring and health of the automation platforms themselves. Implement SLIs/SLOs to ensure the 'tools that build the servers' are highly available and performant.
• Drive the automated lifecycle of both physical and virtual assets, from initial template creation/deployment to automated patching, scaling, and decommissioning.
• Lead the development of custom scripts and internal providers (Python, Go, PowerShell, Bash) to provide better insights and tooling for our systems.
• Outside of the automation team you will need to be able to collaborate and foster workflows alongside the rest of the Datacenter team and be able to facilitate needs for the team as a whole.
• Analyze system behavior and resource utilization in virtual environments to optimize the performance of automated deployments.
• Provide technical guidance and career mentorship to SREs, fostering a culture of 'automate-first' and continuous improvement.
Requirements:
• 6-10 years’ experience in Infrastructure, SRE or DevOps, specifically focused on infrastructure automation at scale.
• Deep proficiency with Terraform (providers, modules, state management) and Ansible (roles, playbooks, Tower/AWX).
• Hands-on experience with Image Creation (i.e. Packer, Ansible, SCCM) to build standardized, hardened images for both Windows and Linux in hybrid environments.
• Strong experience managing and automating virtual platforms such as VMware (vSphere/vCenter) as well as Cloud providers such as Azure and AWS.
• High-level scripting skills in mediums such as Python, Go, PowerShell, and Bash.
• Experience with observability tools (Splunk, ELK, Prometheus, or Grafana) to monitor infrastructure health and automation telemetry.
• Good understanding of Network topology and design as well as experience with platforms such as Juniper Networks or Palo Alto.
• Strong mastery of Git (branching strategies, PR workflows) and CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions).
• Equal comfort managing, troubleshooting, and tuning performance for both Windows Server and Linux.
Benefits:
• Flexible work arrangements
• Professional development opportunities
