Engineering Manager, DevOps

About the role

Our DevOps function is a critical enabler of platform reliability, developer velocity, and secure delivery. We're seeking a DevOps Engineering Manager to lead a team responsible for the systems and practices that power build, deploy, observability, and operational excellence. In this role, you'll set technical direction, grow a high-performing team, and partner across Engineering, Security, and Product to deliver secure, scalable infrastructure and tooling.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a DevOps team: Hire, mentor, and grow engineers; set clear expectations and create an environment of ownership, high standards, and continuous improvement.
• Drive platform reliability: Own the health of CI/CD, deployment, and runtime infrastructure; improve availability, performance, and incident response through measurable SLOs and operational rigor.
• Create developer-facing tooling to reduce toil (golden paths, paved roads, templates, and automation for common workflows).
• Evolve CI/CD and release engineering: Improve build and deploy pipelines, change management, release safety (progressive delivery, rollbacks), and supply-chain security.
• Implement and mature logging, metrics, and alerting; build dashboards and guardrails that help teams understand and improve system behavior.
• Standardize and scale infrastructure management using modern IaC patterns and review/approval workflows.
• Work closely with Security and compliance stakeholders to deliver secure-by-default systems and audit-ready practices.
• Partner with application teams to improve deployability and operability, and translate business priorities into an executable roadmap.

What we’re looking for

• Engineering management experience: 3+ years leading and developing software engineers, including coaching, performance management, hiring, and building healthy team practices.
• Deep hands-on background: 8+ years of experience as an individual contributor in DevOps/SRE/platform/infrastructure or software engineering roles.
• Cloud and systems expertise: Strong experience operating production systems in a major cloud environment (AWS preferred) and building for reliability and scale.
• Ci/Cd and automation: Proven experience designing and operating modern build and deploy pipelines and automating operational workflows.
• Observability: Experience with logging/metrics/alerting stacks (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK/OpenSearch) and using them to drive reliability improvements.
• Infrastructure as code: Experience with Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent tools and associated engineering practices (code review, testing, drift detection).
• Containers and runtime: Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker; Kubernetes/ECS preferred).
• Strong communication: Ability to align stakeholders, explain tradeoffs, and drive execution across teams and functions.

Nice to haves

• Experience building DevSecOps practices (secret management, policy as code, artifact signing, SBOMs).
• Experience with multi-account AWS environments, network segmentation, and zero-trust patterns.
• Experience supporting regulated environments (e.g., FedRAMP, DoD/IC, export-controlled systems).
• Experience with GitHub Actions or other CI platforms at scale.
• U.S. TS Security clearance with SCI Eligibility
