We’re looking for an Infrastructure & SRE Manager to lead the reliability, scalability, and day-to-day resilience of Verda's global cloud platform.

In this role, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, operations, and the business - connecting teams across automation, networking, Linux, hardware, and data-centre operations to ensure our infrastructure is world-class.

You’ll own the infrastructure reliability roadmap, shaping how we minimise downtime, speed up deployments, and turn business priorities into technical execution. This is a high-impact leadership position where your decisions directly influence platform performance, customer experience, and our ability to scale at pace.

• Generous cash + equity compensation, along with various fringe benefits (healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, etc.)

• Flexible working hours and hybrid way of working

• Profitable operations alongside fast growth

• A role offering the opportunity to make a business-critical impact and grow within the team

• A small yet mighty team of 61, challenging the status quo to positively impact the lives of many

• 27 nationalities in total, with 6 represented in the management team

• A community-like atmosphere - we often enjoy each other’s company after work (e.g., BBQs by Ruben, our CEO by day and master chef by night)

• Partner closely with automation, networking, Linux, hardware, and DC ops teams to deliver meaningful infrastructure improvements

• Eliminate friction in the delivery pipeline through process optimisation and targeted automation

• Measure and improve key engineering metrics - especially lead time for changes and release reliability

• Own the availability and reliability roadmap, defining and maintaining SLIs/SLOs that guide engineering priorities

• Oversee and evolve incident response, ensuring structured follow-ups and long-term fixes

• Maintain an infrastructure risk register, surfacing and mitigating reliability risks before they impact customers

• Drive platform resilience through better failover strategies, redundancy, capacity planning, and forward-looking architecture decisions

• Deep understanding of infrastructure, cloud platforms, and distributed systems

• Demonstrated experience managing technical products or large-scale platforms in reliability-driven environments

Required Experience

• Background in infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, observability, or related engineering domains

• Strong technical foundation in Linux, networking, data-centre operations, distributed systems, and core cloud concepts (containers, orchestration, etc.)

• Hands-on experience with observability tooling - using metrics, logs, and traces to drive diagnostics, insights, and performance improvements

• Strong project and program management capabilities - able to prioritise effectively, coordinate across teams, and influence outcomes without formal authority

Preferred Experience

• Experience working in high-availability production environments or platform reliability teams

• Understanding of infrastructure hardware lifecycles - including networking, compute, storage, and data-centre capacity planning

• Strong bias toward automation, reliability, and continuous improvement

• Comfortable operating in mission-critical, always-on environments
