Manager, DevOps

Key Responsibilities
Lead and Mentor: Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of CI/CD, DevOps, and Platform engineers. Own people leadership responsibilities including monetary reimbursement, performance reviews, and setting clear performance expectations. Foster professional growth, career development, and technical excellence across the team.

Secure SDLC & Software Supply Chain: Champion a culture of security and operational excellence. Set direction and hold the team accountable for maturing the platforms, pipelines, and guardrails that enable developers to deliver secure code. Ensure the team delivers and maintains automated supply chain security controls—including SCA/SAST scanning, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, artifact signing/provenance verification, and secrets detection—and that outcomes meet defined standards.

AI Security for Internal Cloud Agents: Champion secure and safe release practices for our Internal Cloud Agent infrastructure. Ensure the team defines, implements, and maintains the controls and release patterns required to meet the same rigorous security standards applied across our software delivery ecosystem.

Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Strategy: Partner with engineering and product to drive a joint vision for self-service developer portals and that reduce cognitive load for engineering squads. Prioritize and hold the team accountable for delivering secure, self-service capabilities—including repository provisioning and CI/CD templates—that meet developer and business needs.

CI/CD and GitOps Delivery Architecture: Be accountable for the team's continuous integration and GitOps-driven continuous deployment capabilities. Ensure the team designs and operates robust pipelines and declarative deployment systems that deliver safe, incremental, and highly auditable software releases at scale.

Compliance & Governance: Ensure the team implements and operates strict policy controls within the delivery space—including repository security, branch protections, push protections, and automated policy-as-code checks. Be accountable for separation of duties and compliance with frameworks such as FedRAMP and SOC 2.

Pipeline Performance & FinOps: Establish performance and cost expectations for CI/CD infrastructure. Hold the team accountable for meeting pipeline runtime targets and FinOps objectives, and ensure CI/CD infrastructure is operated with production-tier discipline.

Strategy & Roadmap: Partner with engineering leadership, product stakeholders, and security teams to define and prioritize the team's technical roadmap. Ensure alignment with business objectives and successful execution through the team.

Qualifications
Due to FedRAMP requirements, must be a US citizen residing in the US.

Required Skills & Experience:
Experience: 5+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager, DevOps/CI/CD Manager, or an equivalent technical leadership role within a cloud-native SaaS environment.

Leadership: Proven ability to lead, mentor, recruit, and empower technical engineers, driving organizational change and fostering a collaborative, highly accountable team culture.

CI/CD & GitOps Expertise: Demonstrated ability to lead teams operating modern CI/CD and GitOps environments. Sufficient technical depth to set delivery standards, evaluate architecture and tooling decisions and hold engineers accountable for safe, scalable, and auditable release practices.

Software Supply Chain Security: Proven leadership ensuring secure software delivery in regulated or high-assurance environments. Ability to define and enforce supply chain security standards and hold teams accountable for compliance with those standards. Comfortable engaging security, compliance, and audit stakeholders on control design and evidence.

Cloud Infrastructure & IaC: Working knowledge of cloud platforms and Infrastructure as Code sufficient to guide platform strategy, evaluate team designs, and be accountable for the reliability, security, and cost of CI/CD infrastructure.

Performance & Metrics: Experience tracking pipeline health and delivery metrics (such as DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, MTTR, and change failure rate) to drive continuous improvement.

Communication: Excellent interpersonal, negotiation, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across highly distributed, cross-functional engineering teams.

Programming: Solid foundational understanding of development with programming languages such as GoLang, Python, Java, or Javascript.

Preferred Skills & Experience:
Platform Engineering: Experience building, maintaining, and scaling self-service Developer Portals (e.g., Backstage) and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).

Compliance Frameworks: Familiarity with audit and compliance standards for highly regulated environments (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
