Manager of Site Reliability Engineering
LayerZero Labs Ltd.
At LayerZero, our Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team is at the intersection of software and systems engineering, dedicated to crafting and maintaining large-scale, resilient systems
Our goal is to ensure that all LayerZero services — ranging from critical internal systems to those external users interact with — are reliable, meet the uptime expectations of our users, and continuously evolve at a swift pace. Our SRE professionals will monitor our system’s capacity and performance to uphold these standards
As Manager of SRE, you’ll lead a team of engineers responsible for the reliability, performance, and scalability of our blockchain node infrastructure and platform services — while staying technically sharp enough to guide architecture decisions and jump into critical incidents
You’ll balance people leadership with hands-on technical judgment, shaping how the team works, grows, and scales alongside LayerZero
Lead and develop a team of SREs — setting technical direction, growth plans, and performance expectations
Own the reliability strategy for blockchain node infrastructure across a variety of DLTs, including SLOs, capacity planning, and incident response
Partner with Engineering leadership and Product/Platform teams to align reliability investments with business priorities
Drive infrastructure-as-code practices, with a focus on Kubernetes and Helm at scale
Establish and continuously improve on-call structure, incident detection/triage automation, and postmortem culture
Stay hands-on: review designs, dig into complex incidents, and set the technical bar for the team
6+ years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, including 2+ years directly managing or leading a technical team
Deep familiarity with blockchain node infrastructure (validator/full/archive nodes, RPC optimization, etc.)
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
3+ years running Kubernetes in production, including Helm chart authoring at scale
Advanced knowledge of Unix/Linux internals and distributed systems / high-availability design
Track record building or scaling an on-call/incident response process
Excellent communication skills — able to represent the team to leadership and hire/retain strong engineers
Strong proficiency in TypeScript or Golang, with the judgment to know when to write code vs. delegate
