About the role
Application
A nonprofit organization created and structured to achieve a mission: creating equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology. We believe that some of today’s financial systems aren’t designed for everyone and that by leveraging networks like Stellar, we can do our part to change that.
About the Role
We are hiring a Director of Site Reliability Engineering to lead a team of 4 SREs and shape how engineering teams own, operate, and improve production services. This is a backfill, the function has been led at this level before, reporting directly to the CTO.
The Director will set the vision, operating model, and culture for SRE while owning the core infrastructure services that help SDF engineering teams build, deploy, observe, and operate software with confidence. Engineering teams at SDF own the services they build; SRE provides the frameworks, standards, shared infrastructure, tooling, observability practices, and enablement model that make strong service ownership possible across engineering.
This is a hands-on leadership role.The company is a small, mission-driven foundation with a broad technical surface area, so this role requires leverage, ownership, and a bias toward solving the right problems over creating processes for its own sake. The ideal candidate brings strong technical judgment, pragmatic leadership, and the ability to influence through trust, clarity, and execution.
