Full Job Description
ConductorOne is the first AI-native identity security platform that protects every identity: human, non-human, and AI. With powerful automation, platform-level AI, and out-of-the-box connectors, it centralizes access visibility, enforces fine-grained controls, enables just-in-time access, and automates user access reviews across all apps. It's easy to use, quick to deploy, and trusted by enterprises like DigitalOcean, Instacart, Ramp, and Zscaler.

As the Site Reliability manager, you'll lead small, high-ownership engineering teams that build the most reliable and secure identity platform in the world. As manager, you'll be accountable for execution, quality, and delivery - guiding teams to build infrastructure that scales, automates, and recovers without skipping a beat. You'll hire and develop exceptional engineers, foster a culture of autonomy and accountability, and ensure that your teams have the clarity, focus, and support needed to move fast and ship with confidence. Above all, you'll be responsible for building the people, processes, and rhythm that make great product development happen.

What you'll do:
  • Lead and manage the teams responsible for ConductorOne's cloud infrastructure, reliability, and security.
  • Oversee the Kubernetes-based platform that powers our continuous deployment pipelines and ensures our application runs reliably and efficiently at scale.
  • Partner with engineering teams to design, operate, and secure highly available systems across all environments.
  • Drive the company's infrastructure and application security posture through proactive risk management, detection, and response programs.
  • Build and maintain the technical foundations required to meet and sustain compliance standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and beyond.
  • Establish and continuously improve processes for incident management, vulnerability remediation, and audit readiness.
  • Mentor and grow a high-performing team of engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and operational excellence.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure new features and platform improvements meet reliability, performance, and security standards.
  • Own hiring and team-building efforts to ensure the platform, security, and compliance functions scale effectively with company growth.

  • You have a track record of running reliable, secure distributed systems in production at scale.
  • You understand how to balance developer velocity with system safety, security, and compliance.
  • You have strong technical instincts across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and modern security practices.
  • You're passionate about building resilient systems and empowering engineers to ship quickly and confidently.
  • You thrive in a high-growth environment, bringing clarity and calm during operational or security incidents.
  • You care deeply about operational excellence, measurable reliability, and proactive security.
Extra Credit if...
  • You've led or contributed to a mature SRE program with strong SLOs, postmortems, and continuous improvement loops.
  • You have experience managing production workloads on Kubernetes and implementing zero-downtime deployment pipelines.
  • You've built or operated detection, incident response, or vulnerability management programs.
  • You've partnered with GRC or compliance teams to achieve and maintain frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP.
  • You've implemented internal tools or automation that improved developer experience, platform security, or compliance visibility.
  • You've optimized cloud spend while maintaining strong reliability and security standards.
