This role is for a hands‑on leader who sets direction, owns outcomes, and leads by example while empowering engineers to execute at scale.

• Are you a self‑directed leader who can define problems, design solutions, and drive delivery without close supervision?

• Are you passionate about CI/CD, DevOps automation, and building high‑performing engineering teams?

• Do you have a low tolerance for manual work and actively lead teams to automate everything possible?

We need a people leader with a strong technical foundation, an appetite for change, and the ability to push boundaries through automation, standardization, and engineering excellence. Proven experience working across development, operations, and product teams to set priorities, influence roadmaps, and build strong partnerships is essential.



Mission

The mission of Business Operations is to be the production readiness steward for the platform. As a Manager, Site Reliability Engineering, you are accountable for ensuring this mission is delivered through both technical leadership and people leadership.

This is accomplished by partnering closely with developers, architects, and product teams to design, build, implement, and support resilient technology services. The Manager ensures operational criteria such as system availability, capacity, performance, monitoring, self‑healing, and deployment automation are designed into solutions upfront and consistently implemented throughout the delivery lifecycle.

Business Operations plays a critical role in leading the DevOps transformation at Mastercard through our tooling, operating model, and by advocating for change and standards across development, quality, release, and product organizations. As a manager, you lead this transformation by setting direction, coaching teams, and driving execution.



We accomplish this transformation by supporting daily operations with a strong focus on triage, root cause analysis, and business impact, while continuously shifting left to become more proactive in the development lifecycle. The goal is to proactively manage production health and change activities to maximize customer experience and increase the overall value of supported applications.
