About The Position

Sourceability is building a new Global Engineering Organization (GEO) to strengthen internal software delivery, improve production ownership, and build long-term engineering capability inside the company. We are looking for a hands-on Platform, DevOps & Data Manager to build and lead the function responsible for CI/CD, release discipline, engineering environments, DBA / data platform ownership, monitoring / observability, and production reliability support for GEO engineering teams. This is a functional management role. The Platform, DevOps & Data Manager will manage people, capacity, hiring, performance feedback, delivery discipline, standards, escalation, and team structure for DevOps / Platform and DBA / Data Platform resources. This role will work closely with Software Engineering, Infrastructure & Security, Product / Delivery, QA, and business stakeholders to reduce production risk and improve delivery reliability. This role is not only a cloud transformation or modern platform tooling role. The right candidate must be comfortable supporting current business-critical systems, hybrid infrastructure, SQL Server-backed applications, release pipelines, production environments, monitoring gaps, and practical modernization needs. This role will work hybrid from our Austin, TX office.

3+ years of experience leading or managing technical teams, preferably in a distributed or multi-location environment.
Strong practical understanding of CI/CD, release management, deployment automation, environment management, monitoring / observability, and incident response.
Experience managing teams that support business-critical production systems.
Strong understanding of SQL Server or similar relational database platforms, including performance, backup / recovery, high availability, disaster recovery, and production support expectations.
Experience working with engineering teams that build and operate enterprise applications, internal business platforms, ERP integrations, warehouse / operations systems, or B2B transaction platforms.
Experience with Azure DevOps, Git-based workflows, build / release pipelines, work tracking, and engineering reporting.
Ability to manage both operational support and improvement work without creating unnecessary process overhead.
Ability to define practical standards and enforce them across teams while still adapting to current technical reality.
Experience coordinating across Software Engineering, QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, Security, Product / Delivery, and business stakeholders.
Strong communication skills with ability to explain production risks, delivery constraints, technical dependencies, and remediation priorities to technical and non-technical audiences.
Strong ownership mindset, good judgment, and ability to make practical decisions under pressure during production or release issues.
