Remote Director, Site Reliability Job at Vimeo, Inc.

Do you love playing with cloud infrastructure at scale? Leading and contributing to a team that builds and maintains infrastructure toolkits that hundreds of developers will use? Optimizing the last bit of performance and efficiency out of applications that get hundreds of thousands of requests per second? Maintaining large distributed databases? Are MTTA and MTTR things you strive to reduce at all times? Maybe you even feel a little bit guilty putting as much effort as you do into your work.

• Manage and develop a roadmap to enable other teams to accomplish their goals while delivering improvements in scalability, observability, reliability, and performance
• Combine with your sibling SREs in India to create a high-performing global team that can execute with staggering speed and efficiency
