What You'll Do
As Sr. Director, Platform Engineering & SRE, you will build and lead the function responsible for the reliability, performance, and operational excellence of the Ministry Brands platform.

This is a hands-on leadership role at the center of our most important technical priority: platform stability. You will define and drive measurable improvements in availability and incident response, stand up a modern SRE discipline, and partner closely with R&D, Product, and Security leaders to embed reliability into how we build and operate software. You will be accountable to executive leadership for platform availability and performance.
