Site Reliability Engineering Manager
Americas Remote
Hi, I’m Terry, Director of Engineering at Customer.io.
I’m looking for someone to manage the global site reliability engineering (SRE) squad responsible for reliability across all our products. Working directly with the product development squads, this team will drive best practices in production readiness, incident management, and observability while operating existing technology and enabling the scaling of our production systems with next generation technology. You’ll get to move fast while leading a team solving challenging problems in scalable distributed systems while maintaining a great customer experience.

The first product we introduced is Journeys: the industry’s most flexible automation platform for customer communication (email, mobile push, SMS, and more). Our second product is Data Pipelines: a Customer Data Platform (CDP) that empowers marketers at companies big and small to bring accurate, real-time data to all customer touch points.
Help us continue to make an impact on the high-growth CDP and marketing automation market!
