We are seeking a Manager, Network Reliability and Resiliency to lead a team responsible for the reliability and day-to-day operation of production network services supporting ServiceNow’s cloud platform

This is a technical people-manager role

You will develop engineers and manage team priorities while staying actively engaged in complex troubleshooting, high-severity incidents, customer escalations, operational readiness, and reliability improvement

You will apply SRE principles to network operations by using service indicators and objectives, error-budget thinking, observability, post-incident learning, and automation to improve availability, reduce operational toil, and make execution safer and more consistent

While this is not an individual contributor role, you must have the technical depth and judgment to guide investigations, challenge assumptions, make risk-based decisions, and help the team reach durable solutions

Lead and develop the team:

Manage, coach, and develop network reliability engineers through clear goals, regular feedback, performance reviews, and career development

Set priorities and ownership for operational work, reliability initiatives, technical debt, and project commitments

Build sustainable on-call and escalation practices and promote calm, accountable execution during high-pressure events

Hire and onboard new team members and ensure they gain the technical context, operating practices, and support needed to succeed

Provide technical and incident leadership:

Actively engage in complex production troubleshooting and customer-impacting escalations by reviewing evidence, guiding technical hypotheses, identifying risk, and coordinating the right subject-matter experts

Lead or support major incident response, including mitigation decisions, stakeholder communication, escalation management, and restoration of service

Ensure post-incident reviews identify contributing factors and result in clear, prioritized, and completed preventive actions

Review high-risk changes and operational plans for technical soundness, rollback readiness, monitoring coverage, and customer impact

Improve reliability through SRE practices:

Partner with engineering and service owners to define and use meaningful SLIs and SLOs for network services

Use error budgets, incident trends, capacity signals, and operational data to balance service reliability, delivery pace, and risk

Improve observability, alert quality,



dashboards, runbooks, and operational readiness so the team can detect and resolve issues efficiently

Track practical reliability outcomes such as availability, recurring incidents, change success, alert effectiveness, and time to detect and recover

Embed automation in daily operations:

Create a strong automation mindset across the team and identify repetitive, error-prone, or slow operational activities that should be eliminated or automated

Prioritize automation that improves change safety, validation, triage, remediation, reporting, and operational consistency

Work with engineering and automation partners to move useful tools and workflows into production with explicit ownership, documentation, monitoring, and support models

Measure whether automation reduces toil and operational risk rather than treating automation delivery alone as the outcome

Partner across the organization

Collaborate with network engineering, SRE, security, platform, data center, customer support, and other partner teams to resolve issues and improve service reliability

Represent the team’s technical assessment, customer impact, risks, dependencies, and recovery plan clearly to technical and business stakeholders

Ensure new technologies, services, and automations meet operational acceptance criteria before the team assumes production ownership

Improve incident, change, problem-management, and escalation processes based on operational evidence and team feedback

Benefits Generous family leave

Matched donations

Annual learning stipends

Flexible PTO

Competitive retirement plan

Paid volunteer time
