VP​/D DevOps Release and Site Reliability Engineering

One Main Financial is seeking a Vice President, Director for Release & Site Reliability Engineering. As One Main expands its market verticals, a multi-product strategy is evolving to penetrate markets through compelling customer engagement. Correspondingly, teams deliver products across a variety of platforms and technologies. Our products span AWS, IBM iSeries and zSeries (for our core lending systems), and Open Shift on-prem as part of our hybrid strategy.

With both disparate technology delivery and varying regulatory requirements, One Main’s environment is both complex and evolving, supporting a broadening multi-product, multi-market strategy.

The VP Director will establish a release and site engineering practice, hiring and leading a group of senior engineers to build and maintain highly available production systems, replacing all manual processes with automation to reduce redundancy of effort. They will establish SLOs and SLAs to measure production systems uptime and health using metrics to drive continuous improvement.

They will also lead One Main’s efforts to build highly reliable and repeatable pipelines for products composed across platforms and spanning hybrid environments. Software deployments will be performed through clearly defined strategies for configuration management, risk mitigation, and rollout. They will collaborate with the enterprise monitoring team to apply a standard approach to observability, self-healing, and vulnerability management driving reliability across the development lifecycle.
