We're looking for a Senior Manager of Site Reliability Engineering to join our team. You'll lead a team of ~10 SREs across North America, UK, HK, and New Zealand - owning both the day-to-day operations and the long-term technical direction of the SRE organization. This role sits at the intersection of people leadership, technical depth, and strategic partnership: you're here to make Counterpart's infrastructure reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient - and to transform the SRE team's engagement model from reactive support to proactive collaboration with our product engineering pillars.
As a Senior Manager, Site Reliability Engineering, you will:- Lead and grow our SRE team of ~10 engineers, including hiring, retention, career development, and performance management across multiple time zones (US, HK, NZ).
- Build strategic partnerships with product engineering pillars - shifting SRE from reactive, ticket-based support to proactive co-ownership of reliability outcomes.
- Scale our multi-tenant infrastructure to support new customer onboarding and growing patient populations.
- Own cloud cost management and FinOps practices, building frameworks that balance cost control with reliability and performance.
- Champion developer self-service and platform engineering. Build self-service capabilities so product teams can manage routine operations without filing SRE tickets. Establish SLOs/SLIs for critical services and improve alert quality so every page is meaningful.
- Ensure the SRE team is fully leveraging AI tooling in their workflows - using tools like Claude Code for IaC generation, log analysis, root cause investigation, and automating repetitive work - at the same level as the rest of engineering.
You should get in touch if:- You have 6+ years managing an SRE team and 10+ years of hands-on SRE or infrastructure engineering experience.
- You're deeply comfortable with our core stack: Kubernetes, GCP (GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, GCS), Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, PostgreSQL, and Prometheus/Grafana.
- You have strong programming skills in Python and/or Go, and you're comfortable writing and reviewing infrastructure tooling code - including using AI coding tools to do so.
- You have experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and a track record of building or improving developer tooling and automation.
- You have sound build vs. buy judgment - you default to the right answer, not the easiest one, and you're comfortable building internal tooling when existing solutions don't fit.
- You have experience leading teams across multiple time zones and a track record of developing engineers into strong technical contributors.
