About the Role
Lead a Site Reliability Engineering team responsible for Together AI's production infrastructure, focusing on bare-metal, inference, and virtual clusters platforms. This player-coach role involves 50-60% management and 40-50% hands-on technical work, including coding, architectural discussions, and incident response. A key focus is transitioning the team from reactive, manual operations to systemic, automation-first work. The infrastructure includes bare-metal GPU compute, public-cloud Kubernetes, and Kubernetes-with-virtualization; depth in at least one area is required.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a team of approximately 10 SRE engineers across multiple function areas, partnering with technical leads.
- Drive the team's shift from manual operations to systemic, automated, scalable infrastructure, reducing toil.
- Stay hands-on by coding, reviewing architecture, leading incidents, and participating in technical decisions.
- Build coaching and feedback rhythms to develop engineers, focusing on incident leadership, on-call habits, and systemic problem-solving.
- Strengthen on-call practices and incident response, including blameless postmortems with engineering follow-through.
- Partner with other SRE Engineering Managers to shape org-wide practices, hiring, and operational maturity.
- Own hiring, leveling, and career development for engineers in your region.
- Plan capacity, prioritize work across function areas, and represent SRE in broader engineering conversations.

Requirements
- Prior experience managing SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams, ideally including leading through reliability or culture turnarounds.
- Deep technical credibility in at least one of: bare-metal infrastructure with Ansible-based config management, Kubernetes on public cloud, or Kubernetes with virtualization.
- Strong Kubernetes and Terraform fundamentals with hands-on production experience.
- Genuine player-coach orientation, contributing as an engineer in addition to management.
- Experience leading teams through serious production incidents and on-call rotations (PagerDuty or equivalent).
- Track record of coaching engineers and shifting team culture through engineering systems.
- Comfort operating in a matrix structure where technical direction is shared with tech leads.
- Adaptability to shifts in management/individual contributor balance based on team needs.
- Based in (or willing to relocate to) San Francisco, with regular in-office presence.
