Job Summary

As the Cloud Operations & Reliability Manager for EMEA at Kiteworks, you will lead a dedicated team of SRE and CloudOps engineers to evolve a complex, growing cloud environment. Your day-to-day involves driving infrastructure initiatives using Scrum and Agile methodologies, overseeing end-to-end delivery from backlog prioritization to capacity planning. You will be responsible for the stability and performance of the platform, implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices such as incident management, root cause analysis, and the definition of SLOs/SLIs.
