About The Position

The DevOps Manager serves as a strategic and operational leader within the Engineering/DevOps function, responsible for designing, implementing, and managing AWS-based infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and platform operations to support scalable, secure, and reliable software delivery. This role ensures DevOps practices, architecture decisions, and platform design align with business objectives, engineering priorities, and long-term operational sustainability across client and internal environments. AWS is the primary cloud platform for this role; exposure to Microsoft Azure or other cloud environments is considered a plus and is not required. This position operates in a fast-paced, complex software environment where system reliability, performance, and cost efficiency are critical. It requires deep, hands-on AWS expertise, including the ability to design and evaluate cloud architecture with a clear understanding of scalability, security, and cost implications across the full platform lifecycle. Responsibilities include infrastructure such as code, automation, monitoring, incident response, and proactive identification and mitigation of risks related to design decisions, system dependencies, and resource utilization. Sound judgment is required to balance speed, reliability, and cost while avoiding over-engineering and ensuring scalable, maintainable solutions. The DevOps Manager balances leadership with hands-on execution, collaborates with Engineering, Product, internal IT teams, and third-party offshore resources, and drives alignment across cross-functional teams. The role is accountable for system reliability, operational performance, and AWS cost management, ensuring environments are efficient, secure, and compliant. Availability outside standard business hours is required, as needed, to support critical deployments, production incidents, and time-sensitive operational events, and to ensure appropriate team coverage and response.
