Ready to take the next step in your career?

Join a global company shaping the future with technology that drives lasting impact.

Hypertec is seeking a DevOps Technical Lead to join our IT-DevOps team in Montreal. If you are motivated, collaborative, and aligned with our values, we would love to hear from you.

We believe that how we work is just as important as what we build. Our values reflect the mindset we bring to everything we do:

• Trust
• Customer Focus

What You’ll Be Contributing:

Provide technical leadership and guidance to DevOps engineers, helping coordinate priorities, resolve challenges, and deliver effective engineering solutions.

Design, implement, and maintain hybrid Azure and on-premises infrastructure, including Kubernetes-based platforms.

Enhance infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and automation using Terraform and related tools.

Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, testing, packaging, and deployments using GitHub Actions, Octopus Deploy, and other technologies.

Support release management activities, including coordinating critical releases and providing backup coverage when needed.

Lead complex technical troubleshooting, support major incident resolution, conduct root-cause analysis, and improve platform reliability and observability.

Integrate security best practices into infrastructure, automation, deployment pipelines, and daily operations.

Review technical designs and code, share expertise, and mentor engineers to strengthen team capabilities.

Develop and enhance the infrastructure, automation, and operational capabilities supporting our GPU and AI software platforms, including MCP servers.

Collaborate with Development, QA, Security, Architecture, and other teams to align technical solutions with business priorities and provide recommendations to the DevOps Manager.

What Sets You Apart:

7+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Platform Engineering, or Cloud Engineering, including at least 2 years in a technical leadership or mentoring capacity.

Proven experience independently designing, implementing, and supporting complex infrastructure solutions, from initial design through production.

Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Azure (AKS), Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or Octopus Deploy.

Strong scripting skills using Bash and Python or Go, along with experience supporting production environments and resolving complex technical issues.

Solid understanding of software delivery, release automation, packaging, and production deployment practices.

Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to mentor colleagues, provide technical direction, and take ownership of results.

Experience with GPU infrastructure, AI/ML platforms, Model Context Protocol (MCP), observability, DevSecOps, or hybrid cloud environments is considered an asset.

What’s In it For You:

• Hybrid work model (3 days a week in office), supported by competitive benefits.
• Comprehensive health benefits that ensure you and your family are covered for a wide range of medical needs.
• Health Spending Account (HSA).
• Employer-matched RRSP Program.
• Paid Floater Days.
• Our head office will soon relocate to a new, state-of-the-art facility in LaSalle, near the Lachine Canal. Designed to set new standards in sustainability, it reflects our commitment to responsible growth and innovation.
