Instacart is transforming the grocery industry by building technology that connects customers, shoppers, retailers, and brands through a reliable, convenient online marketplace. The Site Reliability Engineering team helps ensure that this experience remains resilient, scalable, and dependable as Instacart grows.
We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team of Site Reliability Engineers responsible for the systems, tools, and practices that support the reliability of Instacart’s technology platform. In this role, you will manage and develop a team of engineers while partnering closely with engineering teams across the company to improve availability, scalability, performance, observability, and operational excellence.
This is an opportunity to shape the future of reliability at significant scale. You will help establish sound engineering practices, guide complex technical initiatives, and create an environment where teams can build and operate dependable systems. The role is well suited for a collaborative, hands-on people leader who is energized by complex problems, thrives in a fast-changing environment, and is motivated by helping others do their best work.
This role requires comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to engage directly with challenging operational and organizational problems. You will be expected to make decisions with incomplete information, respond calmly during incidents, and help teams learn from failure without assigning blame. Success will require both strong people leadership and enough technical depth to ask the right questions, evaluate tradeoffs, and guide effective solutions.
Instacart is a remote-first organization with team members working across the United States and Canada. This role is especially well suited to candidates based on the West Coast, while applicants in other eligible locations may also be considered.
