Team Leader, SRE

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Team Leader, SRE based in Portugal.

As Team Leader, SRE, you’ll lead a highly technical Site Reliability Engineering team responsible for the reliability of critical cloud infrastructure and developer platforms.

The role combines approximately 60% hands-on technical contribution with 40% people leadership, giving you meaningful influence over both engineering direction and team development.

You’ll work across Kubernetes, AWS, PostgreSQL, CI infrastructure, observability, security, and reliability practices.

You’ll help evolve a growing SRE function, strengthening SLOs, incident response, on-call practices, and operational excellence.

At the same time, you’ll own the career development, performance, hiring, and overall health of your team.

The environment is fully remote and asynchronous, requiring strong written communication, autonomy, and thoughtful prioritization.

This is an opportunity to shape reliability practices while remaining close enough to the technology to guide decisions and lead through complex incidents.
