Technical Lead - Delivery Acceleration | Onsite - Delaware
About The Position
We are seeking a Technical Lead for Delivery Acceleration to own the CI/CD pipeline (Azure DevOps) across engineering. This role is responsible for pipeline reliability, release velocity, and defining infrastructure-as-code standards. You will drive zero-downtime deployment delivery, set the observability strategy, and own the security posture of the delivery pipeline. Additionally, you will evaluate and stand up emerging platform needs, such as LLM gateway infrastructure and vector database hosting, to support AI workloads. This role also involves managing the day-to-day delivery of an offshore senior developer team, including sprint planning, code reviews, and unblocking team members. You will report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership and own the roadmap timeline for this platform area.
Requirements
- 8+ years in DevOps/platform/delivery engineering, with 3+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery.
- Proven track record of shipping and operating production platforms on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under pressure.
- Deep, hands-on-to-expert knowledge of Azure DevOps Pipelines (design, governance at scale).
- Strong Terraform/IaC design experience (module architecture, state management, multi-environment strategy).
- Expert-level AWS (core compute, networking, IAM, security services) in a production, multi-account setting.
- Proven architecture experience with Docker & container orchestration.
- Demonstrated design of Blue/Green deployment patterns and multi-region deployment architecture.
- Strong grounding in Observability architecture (designing what/how/why to observe).
- Experience architecting Test Automation strategy across a large engineering org.
- Deep expertise in security scanning integration (SAST/DAST), container scanning, and infrastructure scanning as pipeline gates.
- Working knowledge of OWASP top risks and how to enforce them via pipeline controls.
- Experience designing Secrets Management architecture (vaults, rotation, least-privilege access) in a regulated environment.
- Financial-services or similarly regulated-industry experience (audit, compliance, change-control awareness).
- Strong communication skills — must translate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team.
Nice To Haves
- Experience architecting LLM gateway infrastructure for internal AI tooling.
- Familiarity with PII detection and scrubbing patterns in pipelines or data flows.
- Exposure to Vector DB infrastructure design and hosting considerations.
- Experience with AWS Bedrock or comparable managed LLM platforms.
- Experience setting up cost and latency monitoring for AI/LLM-backed services.
- Prior experience managing or mentoring an offshore/distributed engineering team.
- Relevant certifications (AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Terraform Associate, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert).
Responsibilities
- Own delivery of the CI/CD pipeline (Azure DevOps), including branching, environment promotion, and release-gating strategy, ensuring pipeline reliability and release velocity.
- Define infrastructure-as-code standards and multi-cloud/AWS provisioning patterns, approving module design and drift-remediation approach.
- Drive zero-downtime deployment delivery (blue/green, canary) and multi-region rollout for regulated financial workloads, including go/no-go calls.
- Set the observability strategy (metrics, logs, traces, SLOs) and define "production-ready" criteria for services.
- Own the security posture of the delivery pipeline: SAST/DAST integration, container and infrastructure scanning gates, secrets management, and OWASP-aligned controls.
- Evaluate and stand up emerging platform needs like LLM gateway infrastructure, vector database hosting, and cost/latency monitoring for AI-enabled services.
- Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore senior developer team: sprint planning, code/design review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work.
- Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership and own the roadmap timeline for the platform area.
