Here’s How You’ll Make an Impact:

  • Manage & Mentor a cross-functional team of DevOps, SecOps, and SysOps engineers, helping them in delivering on our goals while growing in their careers.

  • Own the teams’ backlog, creating a visible workflow to ensure that every task is tracked, estimated, and prioritized against business goals.

  • Align the team's planning with the other leaders in Engineering, Product and Project to facilitate cross-team initiatives, shielding the team from context switching while ensuring stakeholders know exactly what is being delivered and when.

  • Work with the development teams to build a "self-service platform", establishing reusable templates and standardized workflows so developers can ship code more independently.

  • Build team KPIs and system SLOs to visualize performance, identify bottlenecks and ensure proactive reliability

  • Bridge the gap between the Engineering Team and Product stakeholders, translating technical debt into business risk and explaining infrastructure investments in terms of value.

  • Establish comprehensive documentation and runbooks to cover the infrastructure, tools and processes owned by the teams 

  • Work hand-in-hand with other Leads to ensure our CI/CD pipelines and tooling align with their needs, always being an enabler and never a blocker

While you may code less than an IC, you must possess deep expertise to govern our stack:

  • Cloud & Orchestration: Advanced architecture experience with GCP/AWS and Kubernetes as you support our strategy towards stronger efficiencies,scaling,  and cost optimization.

  • IaC & Security: Enforce Infrastructure as Code best practices, ensure security is shifted left while evolving our observability stack to ensure we are measuring and tracking the right things.

CI/CD: Oversee the modernization of our delivery pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab CI) to ensure rapid, reliable, and testable releases.

What Makes You A Strong Candidate:

  • 7+ years in DevOps/Infrastructure, with at least 3+ years in a Lead or Management role.

  • Strong experience in building technical roadmaps, capacity planning and stakeholder management

  • Experience in shaping Platform engineering teams, focused on both production stability and developer efficiency

  • Ability to work on team level & strategic level with experience in working with Agile (Scrum, Kanban) methodologies

  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and guide mulit-disciplinary teams.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.

  • Solid background in programming (Go, Python, or Groovy) 

  • Exceptional English written and verbal communication skills.
