Job description

Senior DevOps Coach - Agile Consulting Career Growth — Remote

A DevOps Coach role is a senior, high-impact position that blends deep technical expertise with organizational consulting — a rare and increasingly valuable combination. ClearlyAgile's consulting model means you'll work across multiple client environments, dramatically accelerating your exposure to diverse tech stacks and organizational challenges.

Compensation: No salary is listed, but DevOps Coaches in the US typically earn $130,000–$175,000+ annually depending on experience. ClearlyAgile's "very competitive compensation" language and employee ownership (ESOP) suggest above-average total compensation.

• Multi-cloud architecture (Azure, AWS, GCP) and IaC tooling (Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm)
• Organizational change management and DevOps transformation consulting
• Executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership
• Mentoring and building engineering cultures — highly marketable at VP/Director level

Green flags: Unlimited PTO, employee ownership, paid certifications, and a values-driven culture signal a genuinely employee-friendly environment. Fast-growing company means real advancement opportunities.

Watch for: "Occasionally on-site" is vague — clarify frequency during interviews. Consulting roles can also mean high-pressure client deadlines and context-switching. The 5+ year experience bar suggests this is a mid-to-senior level hire, not a stepping stone role.

Overall, this is a strong career move for senior DevOps engineers looking to grow into technical leadership and consulting.

We are hiring an experienced DevOps Coach to help us support existing and new customers. If you're dedicated, ambitious and have a passion for working with the latest leading edge Cloud Native and on-prem technologies, this is an excellent opportunity for you.

In this role you will be responsible for working with clients to evaluate their current DevOps culture, processes, and tools to make recommendations for improvements, lead the execution of identified improvements, and be a hands‑on engineer as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess current organizational practices and processes to identify opportunities for improvement as well as to provide direction toward those improvements.
• Analyze current technology utilized within the company and develop steps and processes to continuously improve and expand upon them.
• Establish milestones for necessary contributions from departments and develop processes to facilitate their collaboration.
• Assist developers and engineers in creating practical demonstrations of proposed solutions and demonstrating them to other members of the team.
• Provide detailed specifications for proposed solutions including products, processes, materials, manpower and time necessary.
• Provide clear organizational as well as build and release management and engineering goals for all areas of a product or program and develop steps to oversee their timely execution.
• Work closely with development and engineering professionals within the company to maintain infrastructure and software required for products to be continually delivered effectively.
• Mentor and train other developers and engineers throughout the company and seek to continually improve processes companywide.
• Work alongside product or program management team to successfully monitor and demonstrate progress and implementation of improvements and initiatives.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a DevOps focused role, including software development, system engineering and leadership.
• Experience assessing DevOps organizations and making recommendations for improvement.
• Experience leading/managing software developers and systems engineers within cultures that look to embrace DevOps philosophies.
• Experience with various cloud technologies (Azure, AWS, GCP), as well as on‑prem.
• Experience with a variety of DevOps tools and technologies, such as Terraform, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Istio, Prometheus, GitHub, etc.
• Experience developing, deploying, releasing, and supporting large‑scale systems.
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field is preferred.
• Current understanding of best practices regarding system security measures.
• Advanced education and application of business analysis techniques and strategy.
• Experience with software and systems engineering.
• Experience working together with teams from several departments to facilitate the orderly execution of a proposed strategy and direction.
• Professional experience and a high‑level understanding of working with various operating systems and their implications.
• Professional work experience in team building and software delivery team organizations.

Location and Other Requirements

• Must be able to work remotely as well as occasionally on‑site in the Tampa Bay Area as needed.
