ABOUT THE ROLE
We're seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Senior DevOps Lead to take ownership of our infrastructure and lead our transition from purely external DevOps services to a hybrid internal & external team model. This is a critical leadership role that requires both strategic thinking and the ability to roll up your sleeves—you'll spend 30% of your time leading and mentoring a team of 9 contractors with varying skill levels and 50% architecting and implementing solutions yourself, with 20% for high-level thinking and operational planning. Ideal candidates have a strong background in network and *nix systems operations and software engineering, and have settled into DevOps as their current passion.
You'll report directly to the VP of Engineering and have an immediate impact on infrastructure stability, security posture, and operational excellence across our AWS-based platform. Our infrastructure is mature with well-established Infrastructure as Code practices, and is actively growing to support new business needs and product capabilities.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead by example—architect and implement infrastructure solutions using Terraform and AWS best practices
- Take ownership from external DevOps team, stabilizing operations and establishing internal team processes
- Define project scope, break down complex initiatives, and guide contractors through execution
- Evolve our IaC practices and ensure consistency across the growing infrastructure
- Own AWS infrastructure security, compliance, and cost optimization
- Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
- Collaborate with engineering teams to support application needs and performance goals
- Develop infrastructure roadmap to support scaling and new product requirements
- Mentor contractors with varying skill levels, elevating team capabilities
- Evolve and refine monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes
WE'D LIKE TO SEE
- 10+ years of DevOps/SRE experience with at least 3 years in a lead or senior role
- Deep expertise in AWS services incl
