Hiring plan for the platform team
Two open headcount on a five-person platform team. Two senior engineers, or one senior and one SRE?
The deciding question is what wakes the team up at night. If the pages are about capacity, deploys, and recovery time, an SRE pays for itself in the first quarter and gives the other four people their focus back. If the pages are rare and the backlog is the real constraint, two senior engineers is the better trade.
One caution on the split hire: a single SRE on a team with no existing reliability practice tends to become a one-person on-call rotation rather than a force multiplier. If you go that route, budget explicitly for the practice, not just the person.
Pages are frequent but mostly noise. Does that change it?
It changes the job description more than the headcount. Frequent noisy pages are an alerting problem, and the first six months of that role is deleting and rewriting alerts rather than building infrastructure.
Hire for someone who is energised by that cleanup work and say so in the posting. The candidates who want to build a platform from scratch will self-select out, which is exactly what you want here.
