What You'll Do

  • Define the multi-year SRE roadmap, pivoting from reactive firefighting to proactive, automated platform health.
  • Oversee infrastructure supporting millions of concurrent trips globally, accounting for local regulatory and latency requirements.
  • Own the end-to-end incident lifecycle, fostering a blameless culture focused on root-cause analysis and permanent remediation.
  • Deploy AI/ML models to analyze historical telemetry data to predict capacity hotspots and system fatigue hours before they manifest.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering VPs to balance innovation speed with reliability via strictly enforced Service Level Objectives and Service Level Indicators.
  • Work closely with product and commercial partners to drive, prioritize, and work backwards from customer requirements.
  • Drive effective monthly, weekly, and quarterly mechanisms to plan, execute, and audit workstreams.
  • Optimize a massive global cloud footprint (AWS/GCP/Azure), ensuring performance doesn't come at the cost of unsustainable burn.
  • Champion Infrastructure as Code and self-service tooling so developers can deploy safely without manual intervention.
  • Establish a robust and clear engineering roadmap to maintain clarity and motivation for the engineering team.
  • Establish measurement of metrics-driven dev productivity across the Mobility SRE organization.
  • Comfortably present, influence, and communicate to the senior leadership team with regular updates.

What We're Looking For

  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 12+ years in SRE, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role (Director or above) managing managers.
  • Proven track record of managing distributed systems at a hyper-scale level (e.g., millions of requests per second).
  • Expertise in rapid development and deployment using cloud computing platforms such as AWS or Azure.
  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), edge computing, and global traffic management.
  • Excellent leadership, team-building, and dynamic decision-making skills. Ability to deal with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with high-concurrency, geospatial, or real-time marketplace dynamics.
  • Experience building high-performance distributed systems at internet-scale companies.
  • Experience building credit card products, or experience developing solutions in a scheme/network.
