** Senior Manager - Site Reliability Engineering
** Join Ferguson as a Senior Manager, Site Reliability Engineering and help shape the reliability, performance, and availability of our digital commerce platform. In this leadership role, you'll guide a team of Site Reliability Engineers responsible for the stability, automation, and observability of the Linux-based systems and infrastructure that power Ferguson's digital commerce, while driving the modernization of our SRE and Dev Ops practices.

You'll partner closely with Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Principal Solution Architects, Infrastructure Engineers, and Networking teams to deliver resilient platform capabilities, improve engineering standards, and pull digital commerce forward into more modern standard processes.  This is an opportunity for a proven, systems-thinking SRE leader who is passionate about developing high-performing teams, driving engineering excellence, and delivering meaningful business outcomes through reliability engineering and automation.
