Stellar - Director of SRE

About Stellar Development Foundation

The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is a mission-driven organization supporting the development and growth of the Stellar blockchain network, an open-source platform designed to expand access to the global financial system.

Since 2014, Stellar has grown into a global blockchain ecosystem used by developers and companies building financial applications and infrastructure around the world.

SDF is now looking for a Director of Site Reliability Engineering to lead its SRE function and shape how engineering teams own, operate and improve production services.

The Role

This is a senior engineering leadership position reporting directly to the CTO.

You’ll lead a small, high-leverage SRE team while defining the broader SRE vision, operating model and reliability culture across engineering.

Rather than SRE acting as the operational owner of every production system, engineering teams at SDF own the services they build. Your role will be to create the infrastructure, frameworks, tooling, standards and observability practices that allow those teams to operate their services reliably and independently.

You’ll combine hands-on technical judgment with organizational leadership, helping SDF improve reliability, infrastructure maturity and developer productivity wi
