About the role

SRE at Together is roughly 20 engineers organized into three function areas: bare-metal / day-0 / day-2 operations, our inference platform, and our virtual clusters platform.
This is a true player-coach role -roughly 50-60% management and 40-50% hands-on technical work.
The honest version: the team is talented but currently stretched thin, and a major part of this role is helping them shift from reactive, manual operations to systemic, automation-first work.

Lead and develop a team of ~10 SRE engineers across multiple function areas, partnering with technical leads on direction.
Drive the team's shift from manual operations to systemic, automated, scalable infrastructure -including making toil visible, capping it, and prioritizing engineering work that reduces it.
Stay hands-on: code, review architecture, lead incidents, and participate meaningfully in technical decisions.
Build coaching and feedback rhythms that develop engineers over time, especially around incident leadership, on-call habits, and systemic problem-solving.
Partner with the other SRE EM (across timezone) to shape org-wide practices, hiring, and operational maturity.
Help grow the team- own hiring, leveling, and career development for engineers in your region.
Each function area is led by a technical lead; you'll partner with them to manage and develop the engineers in your timezone.
You'll code, participate in architectural discussions, lead incident response, and stay close enough to the systems to coach effectively.
build trust, develop engineers, hire, and shape the operating rhythms that determine whether the team thrives or burns out.
you'll partner with them to manage and develop the engineers in your timezone.

Prior experience managing SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams - ideally including time leading through a reliability or culture turnaround.
Strong Kubernetes and Terraform fundamentals, with hands-on production experience.
Experience leading teams through serious production incidents and on-call rotations (PagerDuty or equivalent).
A track record of coaching engineers and shifting team culture through engineering systems - not just process or frameworks.
You can point to specific things you put in place and the change they produced.
Based in (or willing to relocate to) San Francisco, with the ability to be in the office regularly.
