The Role

At ClickUp, we’re not just building software. We’re architecting the future of work! In a world overwhelmed by work sprawl, we saw a better way. That’s why we created the first truly converged AI workspace, unifying tasks, docs, chat, calendar, and enterprise search, all supercharged by context-driven AI, empowering millions of teams to break free from silos, reclaim their time, and unlock new levels of productivity. At ClickUp, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, use, and pioneer AI in ways that shape not only our product, but the future of work itself. Join us and be part of a bold, innovative team that’s redefining what’s possible! 🚀

We're seeking a Senior Manager of SRE to lead our U.S.-based Site Reliability and Release Engineering teams. This role is focused on strengthening our infrastructure cost efficiency, driving vendor optimization, and building operational excellence through high-impact incident management and team development.
 
You won’t be expected to be hands-on day-to-day, but you should be ready to step in during high-severity issues, lead incident response efforts, and coach others to do the same. This is a strategic leadership role with technical depth—perfect for someone with strong systems expertise who’s now focused on scaling operational maturity, optimizing spend, and leveling up their teams.
 
The Role
  • Lead SRE & Release Engineering teams focused on system reliability, release velocity, and incident response across critical services.
  • Drive infrastructure cost optimization initiatives to ensure efficient AWS and tooling usage, reduce waste, and improve observability ROI (e.g., Datadog).
  • Own vendor management for key platforms and tools; negotiate contracts, monitor value, and guide adoption best practices.
  • Incident command during major production events, partnering with engineering leads to troubleshoot and mitigate effectively.
  • Develop and grow a bench of capable incident commanders, instilling calm, rigor, and accountability across on-call and response workflows.
  • Partner closely with Finance and Engineering to manage infrastructure budgets, forecast spend, and justify tooling investments.
  • Establish performance and reliability metrics to monitor service health and team effectiveness.
  • Identify team skill gaps, mentor SREs, and create pathways for continued growth and technical leadership.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with DevOps, Platform, and Product teams to align on reliability priorities—without needing to drive developer productivity directly.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in site reliability, infrastructure engineering, or platform leadership, ideally in cloud-native environments.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience with AWS architecture, cloud cost modeling, and usage-based pricing strategies.
  • Track record of vendor ownership, especially with major infrastructure or observability platforms (e.g., AWS, Datadog).
  • High technical fluency—you can engage deeply on systems architecture, even if you’re not writing code daily.
  • Experienced incident commander with the ability to mentor others in crisis response and postmortem culture.
  • Comfortable managing teams directly and indirectly
  • Ability to build a strategic vision for operational maturity and reliability across the org.
