• You collaborate with senior leadership to align DevOps priorities with overall business objectives and product goals.

• You collaborate with software engineers and product teams to ensure seamless deployments and scalable infrastructure.

• You lead discussions on DevOps strategy and best practices, influencing key architectural decisions.

• You troubleshoot production issues and proactively identify opportunities for reliability improvements.

• Experience leading DevOps transformations, introducing automation, and improving infrastructure scalability.

• Deep knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, observability (logging, monitoring, tracing), and security best practices.

• Hands-on coding experience in Python, JavaScript, or Bash.

• Solid understanding of networking principles (DNS, load balancing, firewalls, etc.).

• Experience with DevSecOps and ensuring security best practices across infrastructure.

• Proven ability to mentor and coach engineers, fostering a collaborative team environment.

• Strong communication skills to work cross-functionally with engineering and product teams.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive compensation and benefits package.

• A leadership role that still allows for deep technical involvement.
