Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Manager - Cebu

Lead the SRE team that keeps the high-tech industry running.

We’re hiring an SRE Manager (Engineering People Manager, Technology Operations) for a technical consulting company that provides operational services to the AI-driven, high-tech industry. The company helps platform and infrastructure teams run multi-cloud environments, carry out complex migrations, and deploy apps smoothly.

You’ll lead a pod of 8 to 12 site reliability engineers in a 24x7 operation. Most of the team is junior, so your coaching decides whether they grow into senior engineers. You’ll rotate shifts with your team, including nights, because you can’t lead people whose working life you never see.

What you’ll do

• Lead and support your team: hold weekly 1:1s, run performance cycles, set goals, and build development plans. Address attendance, collaboration, handovers, and conduct early and directly, and act on fatigue before it turns into attrition or incident risk.

• Grow their skills: build a training plan for each engineer based on the capabilities their service line needs, and schedule training as named seats in the rota.

• Run the shift schedule: manage the rota, approve leave, arrange cover, control overtime, and onboard new joiners and Academy graduates.

• Build the next leaders: interview for the group, assign mentors, identify successors in your pod, and build promotion cases for deserving engineers.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years in SRE or DevOps, including 2+ years as a people manager or team lead

• Solid technical knowledge to coach junior and mid-level engineers credibly: Linux, Kubernetes, a public cloud, an observability stack, and the incident process

• Proven coaching, with engineers who grew under your leadership

• Willing and available to rotate shift bands with your team, including nights

• Comfortable holding a difficult conversation about behavior or performance

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Nice to have

• Coaching or EQ-based leadership training

• Experience onboarding fresh graduates

• Familiarity with competency frameworks and skills assessment

• Experience as a Duty Manager or shift lead in a 24x7 operation

What you get

• HMO coverage, including dependents

• Leave entitlement

• Performance rewards

• A chance to build and grow a team in a fast-moving technology operations environment

Who this is for
SRE or DevOps team leads, shift leads, duty managers, and NOC or service delivery managers who enjoy developing people and want to move into formal people management.
