Key responsibilities

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 3-5 DevOps/SRE engineers.

Job description

Position Title: Systems Engineering Manager, SRE & DevOps
Location: HOUSTON, TX
FLSA Class: EXEMPT
Responsible to: Director of Software Engineering
Position Summary: Manager of Systems Engineering to lead a small, high-impact DevOps/SRE team. This is a split role - you'll split your time between hands-on infrastructure work and growing a team of 3-5 engineers. You'll set technical direction for reliability and infrastructure while building a healthy, high-performing team culture.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 3-5 DevOps/SRE engineers
  • Contribute hands-on to infrastructure design, tooling, and incident response alongside your team
  • Set technical direction for cloud infrastructure, on-prem Linux environments, virtualization, deployment pipelines, and reliability practices
  • Drive adoption of SLI/SLO frameworks and operational maturity across the engineering organization
  • Partner with engineering leadership and product teams on capacity planning, roadmap prioritization, and production readiness
  • Own team processes - sprint planning, on-call rotations, postmortem culture, and knowledge sharing
  • Hire and onboard new team members as the team grows
  • Balance technical debt reduction with feature delivery and reliability investments
  • Represent the infrastructure team in cross-functional planning and incident escalations

Other Requirements:
  • 6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, with at least 1-2 years in a technical leadership or management capacity
  • Demonstrated ability to manage, mentor, and develop engineers
  • Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure AWS preferred)
  • Production experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration
  • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent)
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Solid understanding of monitoring, observability, and alerting systems (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar)
  • Strong Linux systems administration background (Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, or similar)
  • Experience with virtualization platforms including VM provisioning, storage, networking, and cluster management
  • Strong communication skills - able to translate infrastructure concerns into business impact for non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with incident management, postmortems, and on-call processes

Nice to Have:
  • Experience scaling a team through a period of growth
  • Background in platform engineering or internal developer experience initiatives
  • Experience with budgeting and cost optimization for cloud infrastructure
  • Prior experience in a split role balancing IC work and management
