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.
