Engineering Manager, Site Reliability Engineering
This role asks for someone to start and lead a new reliability team in London, managing engineers while staying close to the technical work. A strong candidate brings years of hands on Kubernetes and production infrastructure experience, plus a record of hiring, coaching, and running incident response. The job blends people leadership with design reviews, observability work, and cross team coordination across time zones.
How it fits the AI era
The company runs inference for AI models, so reliability work directly supports live AI products. AI tools can help with alerting, log analysis, and drafting runbooks, but judgment during incidents, architectural tradeoffs, and coaching a team stay human. The role rewards people who reduce complexity and turn repeated failures into automated fixes.
How it builds AI experience
Working here means gaining exposure to ML infrastructure and GPU based serving, even though prior machine learning experience is not required. A candidate can build this by learning how inference workloads behave around latency, memory, and GPU use, and by practicing observability as code. Familiarity with incident tooling and multi cloud setups would strengthen the fit.
