About the role

  • 6 month contract to full-time conversion
  • Leadership is not a function you delegate.

Responsibilities

  • Leadership & Organizational Build-Out
  • Own the SRE function end-to-end: define the team's charter, establish SRE as a discipline within d-Matrix's engineering culture, and drive buy-in across hardware, software, and executive stakeholders who have operated without a dedicated SRE team.
  • Hire, develop, and retain a team of 3-5 SRE engineers
  • Partner with the director of DevOps engineering to align infrastructure reliability with pipeline and automation delivery
  • Reliability & Observability - Building From Scratch
  • Establish SRE processes from a zero baseline: define SLIs and SLOs, build error budgets, design on-call rotations, and create the incident management framework d-Matrix currently lacks.
  • Own 24×7 reliability across colocation, on-premises lab clusters, cloud, and customer-facing platform services - designing for failure domains, progressive delivery, and strict change control at every tier.
  • Partner with the director of DevOps engineering to align infrastructure reliability with pipeline and automation delivery; the two functions must operate as a unified platform.
  • Ability to operate in a high-ambiguity, low-process environment - you build the structure, you don't inherit it.

Requirements

  • Our engineering organization spans silicon, software, hardware, QA, and research, and the infrastructure that underpins all of it must be as reliable and scalable as the chips we build.

Skills

  • AWS, Azure, and GCP alongside on-prem/colo-unified observability and IaC across all tiers.
  • ITIL knowledge or equivalent structured incident/problem/change management framework.
  • Published technical writing, conference talks, or open-source contributions in reliability, observability, or HPC infrastructure.

Benefits

  • Translate operational signals and infrastructure health into clear, actionable narratives for engineering leadership and executive stakeholders.

Company info

  • Design and scale a follow-the-sun on-call model as d-Matrix expands globally; the framework you build now will be the foundation the team inherits.
  • Drive POC and POV evaluations for new infrastructure technologies, interconnect fabrics, and platform services relevant to d-Matrix's accelerator roadmap.
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; 15+ years in SRE, infrastructure engineering, or production engineering.
  • 5+ years leading SRE or infrastructure engineering teams - including experience building or significantly rebuilding a function, not just managing a steady-state team.
  • Demonstrated track record of establishing
