Cvent's site reliability organization is seeking a hands-on technical manager to lead a globally distributed "Product SRE" team. The platform runs more than 8 million events per year, including live gatherings with over 50,000 attendees. Your team will operate cloud-native infrastructure, build reliability tooling and AI agents, accelerate software delivery for product development teams, and lead the technical onboarding of newly acquired companies. You will run towards the fire, write code alongside your team, raise the bar, and build a team that does the same.
Set the strategy for your team and help shape the overall SRE program for the company
Build partnerships with engineering and platform teams around reliability standards and shared practices
Champion a culture of excellence in site reliability and automation
Lead and technically mentor a team of SREs, writing code, reviewing pull requests, and pairing on hard problems alongside them
Directly manage a team of 4-8 SREs: set clear expectations, run 1:1s, build individualized growth plans, deliver candid feedback, and own hiring and performance decisions
Own the reliability, security posture, and cloud cost efficiency of the infrastructure your team operates
Be on call as the team's escalation point and Incident Commander
Enable partner engineering teams to continuously improve software delivery and developer experience
Partner with product teams to evaluate and strengthen SLI/SLO definitions, translating each product's reliability needs into objectives that are achievable and meaningful
Lead the technical onboarding of acquired companies, integrating their infrastructure, teams, and systems onto Cvent's platform and reliability standards
Foster a culture of learning and technical ownership across the team and its engineering partners
Design, build, and own AI agents and reliability tooling with dedicated budget
Apply AI to your own management work: use it to accelerate QBR prep, KTLO analysis, and routine reporting
Drive AI adoption across the team's full SDLC, from planning and code review to incident response and postmortems
4+ years of experience managing technology professionals
10+ years of overall technology experience
Proven experience running large-scale distributed systems in AWS, including container orchestration (ECS, EKS, Kubernetes); familiarity with Azure or multi-cloud architecture a plus
Deep command of SRE principles and modern platform engineering practices
Excellence in technical team leadership, with a history of developing engineers through pairing, code review, and hands-on mentorship
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code at production scale (AWS CDK preferred; Terraform or equivalent welcome)
Strong hands-on background in automation and CI/CD, with experience building and maintaining pipelines from the ground up
Fluency with modern observability platforms (Datadog or equivalent), including hands-on use of logs, traces, and dashboards and the ability to set team-wide standards for their use
Demonstrated AI fluency: active use of AI coding assistants, LLM-based tooling, or AIOps platforms, with a track record of bringing your team along
Ability to write and review production-quality code (TypeScript or Java preferred; Python, Go, or equivalent welcome); this is a working technical role, not a purely managerial one
