About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced DevOps Manager to lead a growing team of engineers in delivering scalable, secure, and efficient infrastructure solutions. This is a hands-on leadership role, combining deep technical knowledge with team mentorship, strategic planning, and cross-functional collaboration.

As DevOps Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping the engineering landscape — driving best practices in automation, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and security — while ensuring high availability and performance across platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of DevOps Engineers to deliver infrastructure, automation, and deployment pipelines.

• Design, implement, and manage robust CI/CD pipelines to support development and release processes.

• Collaborate with engineering, security, and project teams to deliver scalable and secure solutions.

• Oversee cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS) to ensure cost-effectiveness, performance, and reliability.

• Drive continuous improvement across deployment, monitoring, and incident response workflows.

• Provide technical direction on modern DevOps practices, tools, and frameworks.

• Ensure compliance with security standards and assist with audits and incident management.

• Evaluate and implement tools and technologies that improve efficiency and resilience.

About You

• Strong background in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.

• Proven leadership experience, ideally having managed or mentored engineering teams.

• Deep understanding of cloud platforms (AWS preferred), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar), and container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS).

• Proficient with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).

• Comfortable working in agile environments and managing priorities across multiple stakeholders.

• Experience with secure software delivery practices and knowledge of standards such as ISO27001 is a plus.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical solutions to non-technical audiences.

Why Join?

• Work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement.

• Influence strategic decisions around infrastructure and delivery.

• Be part of a company that values flexibility, professional development, and modern technology adoption.
