The role
Position Overview
The Infrastructure Systems Engineering team maintains and evolves SingleStore’s private infrastructure and data center environment, including systems that primarily support the company’s database test platform. That environment operates at a meaningful scale, running millions of tests per month and writing petabytes of storage data over time, while continuing to expand capacity and reliability requirements.
We are seeking a Sr Manager, Systems Engineering to lead a team responsible for data center operations, infrastructure reliability, and systems orchestration. This role is intended to be a mostly technical manager with hands-on involvement: someone who can guide priorities, coordinate execution, and still dive into architecture, troubleshooting, incident response, and key implementation details when needed.
The right candidate will help shape and operate core infrastructure spanning compute, storage, and networking, while improving the tooling, documentation, and operational discipline needed to scale the environment safely.
Role and Responsibilities
• Lead day-to-day engineering operations for data center and infrastructure systems, with accountability for reliability, maintainability, and execution quality.
• Manage and mentor a small systems engineering team while remaining technically engaged in architecture reviews, troubleshooting, and high-priority operational work.
• Own core infrastructure domains across compute, storage, networking, and orchestration, ensuring they work together as a coherent operating environment.
• Drive operational improvements in data center hardware reliability, installation standards, maintenance planning, and lifecycle management.
• Lead design and continuous improvement of systems and workflows related to provisioning, configuration managemen
