This role is responsible for defining and executing a modern DevOps strategy (≈60%), while remaining hands-on (≈40%) to actively guide engineers and development teams in adopting modern practices. The DevOps organization exists to enable fast flow, reduce cognitive load for product teams, and provide a reliable, self-service platform for delivery and operations.

The Manager of DevOps Engineering will lead 3+ full-time DevOps Engineers and coordinate external DevOps service providers, partnering closely with Architecture, Development Managers, QA/Test Automation, and Product Management to ensure DevOps capabilities are scalable, discoverable, and adopted across teams.
ears and helping mitigate billions of dollars in financial and brand risk.

DevOps Mission (Team Topologies Lens):
As a Platform Team: Provide internal, self-service DevOps capabilities that product teams can use independently to build, deploy, and operate software safely and efficiently.
As an Enabling Team: Temporarily embed with product teams to help them adopt modern DevOps practices, remove bottlenecks, and upskill teams—then step back once capabilities are internalized.
This role ensures the organization does not rely on DevOps as a centralized delivery gate but instead uses DevOps to accelerate all teams.
