We are hiring a Director of Reliability Engineering to build our SRE team and lead reliability engineering across our global production environment.\nYou will work with engineering and operations leaders to identify the risks that matter most and turn those priorities into engineering work. You will have latitude to shape the team, choose its tools and practices, and decide where to invest first.\nYou will start with one SRE as a direct report, with plans to hire more in 2027. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will lead major incidents, investigate difficult production problems, and write or review automation while hiring and developing the team.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild and lead the SRE team. Hire and develop engineers, set clear priorities, and give people the responsibility and support to do good work.\nSet the reliability agenda with engineering and operations leaders. Use production evidence to identify the most consequential risks, explain the trade-offs, and agree on what to address first.\nLead the technical response to severe or complex incidents, especially when several teams are involved. Verify recovery, run blameless reviews, and follow through on the work needed to prevent recurrence.\nWork with service owners to establish useful service-level objectives, improve observability, test recovery paths, and make releases safer without slowing delivery unnecessarily.\nImprove on-call practices with the teams that support production. Reduce unnecessary paging, strengthen handoffs across time zones, and automate repetitive operational work.\nMake service health and production risk understandable to engineers, executives, and client-facing teams, including where decisions or investment are needed.\nWhat You Will Bring\nAt least eight years of experience engineering or operating critical production systems, including at least three years leading engineers or setting the technical direction of an SRE, platform, or comparable team.\nEvidence that your decisions have improved reliability. You can explain the problem, the trade-offs you made, and what changed as a result.\nExperience leading major incidents in distributed cloud systems, with the technical depth to investigate failures and the composure to guide others through recovery.\nThe ability to write and review production automation, assess system designs, and work directly with engineers on difficult technical problems.\nExperience hiring and developing engineers, along with the ability to get work done across teams you do not manage.\nClear communication about technical failures, business risk, and engineering trade-offs with engineers, executives, and clients.\nHelpful Background\nExperience building an SRE practice, supporting production across time zones, or working in trading, market data, or financial services would be useful. Our environment includes AWS, containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability platforms such as Datadog. A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is welcome; equivalent practical experience carries equal weight.\nThe salary range for this role is $180,000 - $220,000, depending on relevant experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4557,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T21:54:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":25,"expected_fill_days":101,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T01:03:19Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/onezero-director-of-reliability-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/onezero-director-of-reliability-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:03:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2310,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679162},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679162"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fonezero-director-of-reliability-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fonezero-director-of-reliability-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fonezero-director-of-reliability-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/onezero-director-of-reliability-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fonezero-director-of-reliability-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3986865}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"onezero.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3986865},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
