What you will do

• Own day-to-day leadership of the DevOps / System Engineering team, ensuring predictable delivery and operational stability.
• Plan, prioritize, and coordinate team workload in alignment with architects, product owners, and stakeholders.
• Ensure high availability, reliability, and security of cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
• Oversee infrastructure changes implemented via Terraform, Kubernetes, and automation tools, ensuring quality and consistency.
• Guide and review CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure designs, and operational practices without micromanaging implementation.
• Act as the first escalation point for delivery, operational, and environment-related issues.

• Support incident management, root-cause analysis, and post-incident improvements.
• Mentor team members, support onboarding, and help engineers grow technically and professionally.
• Drive continuous improvement of DevOps processes, tooling, and collaboration patterns.
• Communicate risks, dependencies, and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Coordinate with other teams to ensure smooth integration, handovers, and shared responsibility models.
• Maintain documentation standards where needed, while avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Ensure accurate time tracking, reporting, and alignment with agreed delivery expectations.

What you need for this

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps/Infrastructure Engineering with strong exposure to AWS-based environments.
• 2+ years of experience leading, mentoring, or managing DevOps / Platform / Infrastructure Engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes ecosystems, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD practices, and platform engineering principles.
• Technical background in Linux-based environments, networking, security, observability, and production operations.
• Comprehensive understanding of the DevOps lifecycle, including configuration management, orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and security practices.
• Proven experience leading and managing a DevOps or System Engineering team (task planning, prioritization, workload distribution).
• Experience coordinating cross-functional initiatives involving engineering teams, architects, product managers, security teams, and business stakeholders.
• Experience running day-to-day delivery: sprint planning support, task tracking, dependency management, and delivery follow-up.
• Strong ownership mindset: accountable for team outcomes, stability of environments, and operational continuity.
• Ability to mentor engineers, support onboarding, and grow less-senior team members.
• Comfortable operating in a regulated or security-restricted environment, balancing delivery speed with compliance.
• Hands-on technical background sufficient to review designs, challenge solutions, and guide discussions, without being the main technical decision-maker.
• Clear communication skills, especially for explaining risks, trade-offs, and progress to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to identify process bottlenecks and drive incremental improvements in team efficiency and collaboration.
