About this role
Why Join Omnicell? At Omnicell, we’re transforming the future of medication management through intelligent automation, cloud-native platforms, and innovative healthcare technology. Every service we build and every platform we operate ultimately contributes to improving patient safety, reducing clinician burden, and enabling better healthcare outcomes worldwide. Cloud Operations plays a critical role in this mission. As Omnicell continues its transformation toward a modern, cloud-first software organization, reliability, scalability, automation, and operational excellence have become strategic business priorities—not simply operational objectives. The Director of Site Reliability Engineering will have a unique opportunity to build and lead a world-class SRE organization responsible for ensuring our cloud platforms deliver exceptional availability, resilience, performance, and customer experience. This is a transformational leadership role for someone passionate about building engineering organizations, driving operational excellence through software engineering, and influencing technology strategy at an enterprise level. About This Opportunity This is not a traditional operations leadership position. This is an opportunity to build the engineering organization that defines how Omnicell designs, measures, automates, and continuously improves reliability across its cloud platforms. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Global Cloud Operations, the Director of Site Reliability Engineering will establish Omnicell’s enterprise reliability engineering strategy, build a globally distributed SRE organization, and partner closely with Cloud Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Operations, Cloud Security, Product Engineering, and Enterprise Architecture to ensure reliability is engineered into every service throughout its lifecycle. Working alongside the Director of Site Reliability Operations, this leader will define the engineering standards, automation, observability, production readiness, and resilience capabilities that enable world-class operational performance. While Site Reliability Operations owns the day-to-day operation of production services, the Site Reliability Engineering organization is responsible for continuously improving the architecture, automation, and engineering practices that make those services resilient, scalable, and highly available. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable discussing executive strategy with senior leadership, reviewing Kubernetes architectures with engineering teams, mentoring engineering leaders, and influencing enterprise technology direction. Purpose The Director of Site Reliability Engineering is responsible for establishing and leading Omnicell’s global Site Reliability Engineering organization. This role owns the engineering strategy, governance, architecture, and technical practices that improve service reliability through software engineering, observability, automation, resilience engineering, production engineering, and operational readiness. Rather than operating production systems on a day-to-day basis, the Site Reliability Engineering organization develops the platforms, standards, tooling, automation, and engineering capabilities that enable highly reliable cloud services across the enterprise. Success in this role is measured by how effectively reliability is designed, engineered, automated, and continuously improved across Omnicell’s cloud ecosystem. Primary Impact As Director of Site Reliability Engineering, you will define how reliability is engineered across Omnicell’s cloud platform. Your leadership will enable engineering teams to design, build, deploy, and continuously improve resilient cloud services by establishing enterprise reliability standards, automation frameworks, observability strategies, production engineering practices, and engineering governance. Working closely with Site Reliability Operations, your organization will reduce
