The DevOps Manager balances leadership with hands‑on execution, collaborates with Engineering, Product, internal IT teams, and third‑party offshore resources, and drives alignment across cross‑functional teams. The role is accountable for system reliability, operational performance, and AWS cost management, ensuring environments are efficient, secure, and compliant.
