We’re building an inclusive workplace that represents the real, everyday people we support around the world. From how we build our teams to who sits in the boardroom, we hope you can see yourself at PagerDuty.

PagerDuty continues to grow! 

“The world is always on. Let’s keep it that way.”  At PagerDuty, we live and breathe that mission statement.  Some of the largest companies in the world rely on us to support them on those worst days.  In order to do that, we’ve built a scalable, secure, cloud-native, modern infrastructure to support both our customers and our internal feature development teams.  

Our Infrastructure group consists of teams focused on automation & deployment tooling, observability, cloud delivery, site reliability and data stores.  They own the foundation on which our application teams build world-class software.  They are responsible for evolving our technology infrastructure and tooling to ensure that we stay ahead of the curve, continue to delight our customers and scale to handle the needs of a rapidly growing customer base.  

We're looking for a Senior Director of Engineering to lead this talented group of engineers.  You’ll own the vision for our future infrastructure, building out the team to achieve that vision, and empowering them to execute on it.  We value collaboration heavily; you’ll work closely with other group leaders in Engineering to execute on large-scale projects, and to help set the standards & processes that drive all of Engineering.  You’ll also work cross-functionally with Product Management, Legal, and even our customers to support other parts of the business on important company initiatives.  We build a product for Engineers - our input is both valued and needed in departments outside of Engineering!

This position will report directly to the VP of Engineering for PagerDuty.
