Just got a couple of new SRE Manager roles! They were targeting their Boise, Idaho location, but know that it will be extremely hard to find. So I would target other major hubs like St. Louis or Atlanta, or someone who can relocate to one of them or Boise. Hybrid is also the target, but they will consider 100% remote for the right person. USC/GC preferred, but again, they will consider H1 for the right person with strong communication and leadership
The ideal candidate has been in the role before, but they’re open to someone that is an experienced SRE/DevOps engineer and ready to make the next step in their career
