About the Role
GM Vehicle Autonomy is establishing a centralized Site Reliability Engineering team to engineer reliability into the systems used for building, validating, releasing, and operating autonomous-vehicle software. As a founding SRE, you will establish the core governance layer, define standards, write production automation, and partner with infrastructure teams to ensure reliable operations.
Responsibilities
- Co-found the SRE Practice: Translate the reliability charter into engineering systems, adoption paths, and measurable outcomes.
- Build the Paved Road: Design and build shared reliability tooling and automation for service cataloging, SLOs, error budgets, readiness evidence, and toil reduction.
- Define the Standards: Establish a risk-based production reliability architecture, minimum standards, golden paths, and a time-bound exception process.
- Drive Incident Excellence: Partner with Incident Management to operationalize severity, command, and response standards. Establish blameless post-incident practices and ensure corrective actions are tracked and completed.
- Partner with Service Owners: Help teams classify critical services, map dependencies, identify failure modes, and establish meaningful SLIs/SLOs.
- Protect Engineering Capacity: Decline toil transfer and turn repeated manual operational work into reusable software.
Requirements
- Significant experience as an SRE, Production Engineer, or Infrastructure Software Engineer operating large-scale distributed systems.
- Demonstrated experience taking an SRE or operational excellence program from 0 to 1, or materially improving a program in an organization with uneven reliability maturity.
- Strong software engineering ability in at least one general-purpose language (Go, Python, Java, C++, etc.).
- Deep systems knowledge across several domains: Linux, networking, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, or observability.
- Practical, hands-on experience defining SLIs/SLOs, using error budgets, designing actionable alerts, and improving on-call health.
- The ability to build consensus and drive adoption of standards across teams without taking away their ownership of the underlying services.
- Sound judgment under ambiguity: distinguish urgent operational symptoms from the engineering work required to prevent recurrence.
