Engineering Manager, DevOps
About The Position
At NinjaOne, we are passionate about building unified IT solutions that simplify how IT organizations operate at scale. We are looking for a DevOps Manager to lead our Build & Release Engineering and Developer Platform initiatives, with a strong focus on CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and scalable build systems. In this role, you will lead a high-impact team responsible for designing and evolving a self-service, highly automated developer platform that enables fast, secure, and reliable software delivery. You will play a critical role in improving developer velocity, release quality, and operational efficiency. You will partner closely with Engineering, Security, and Product teams to define and execute on the vision and OKRs that modernize our build infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and cloud provisioning frameworks.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years of engineering management experience and 10+ years in DevOps, software, or infrastructure engineering
- Strong expertise in CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI) and build systems/artifact management (Bazel, Gradle, Maven, npm)
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (CDK, Terraform, Ansible) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and progressive delivery strategies
- Proficient in programming/scripting (Python, Go, Java, or Typescript preferred)
- Strong foundation in DevOps and platform engineering practices, with a focus on automation and self-service platforms
- Data-driven mindset with experience using metrics (e.g., DORA) to drive continuous improvement
- Proven leadership skills with the ability to mentor teams, influence stakeholders, and communicate effectively
- Ability to balance execution and long-term platform strategy
Nice To Haves
- Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute on the vision and OKRs for CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and release automation frameworks
- Architect and scale cloud-native build platforms and standardized end-to-end CI/CD workflows (pre-merge → deploy → rollback)
- Lead adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (CDK, Terraform, Ansible) and build self-service infrastructure platforms
- Establish golden paths, reusable pipeline templates, and policy-as-code to ensure consistency, security, and compliance
- Implement progressive delivery strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags) with automated rollback and release orchestration
- Improve delivery performance using DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate)
- Enhance developer experience by reducing build times, eliminating flaky pipelines, and enabling ephemeral environments
- Build and scale a high-performing DevOps / Build Engineering team, driving a culture of automation and continuous improvement
- Partner with Engineering, Product, and Security to align on roadmaps, DevSecOps practices, and platform strategy
- Establish observability and operational insights across pipelines (metrics, logs, tracing) to identify bottlenecks and optimize performance
- Other duties as needed
