Full Job Posting
Overview
Our product SRE teams are embedded inside Kraken's engineering organizations close enough to the product to know when something matters before it becomes an incident, senior enough in infrastructure to do something about it.
We're generalist teams: we own reliability, developer experience, and the long arc of infrastructure evolution for the products we support.
The Opportunity
- This role is for someone who hasn't left the craft behind, and uses that to manage the space between teams: where product development needs meet infrastructure roadmaps, where compliance and security requirements are anticipated, and where developer pain gets converted into platform investments.
- You know what matters before anyone tells you.
- You represent your team's infrastructure needs across the organization and Engineering Leadership trusts you to have it covered.
- Own the SRE roadmap end-to-end: set priorities independently, drive execution, and make the team's impact visible across the org

- Drive compliance, security, and infrastructure topics for your business unit identify risks early, own the resolution before they escalate
- Shape developer productivity: engage regularly with product EMs to surface pain points and lead the initiatives that remove them
- Contribute technical credibility to architectural discussions bring your reliability and operational experience, and carry decisions to completion
- Own your business unit's workstream in a company-wide infrastructure migration. This is hands-on technical leadership, not just stakeholder management
- Lead a 4 6-person generalist SRE team through 1:1s, performance cycles, and meaningful career development
Skills You Should Hodl

- Fluent with cloud-native infrastructure Kubernetes, observability stacks, CI/CD pipelines
- Prior experience managing or leading a small-to-mid-size engineering team, including full performance cycles
- Built and owned an SRE or infrastructure roadmap you set priorities without waiting to be told
- Represents technical needs in cross-functional and leadership conversations, including at director level
