DevOps Technical Lead

Role Focus

All positions are Senior / Lead Site Reliability Engineers , focused on enabling engineering teams to build stable, scalable platforms and to perform "boring" (i.e., predictable, low-risk) product releases.

In essence: the SRE function acts as a release and reliability enabler across the organization — ensuring predictable deployments, strong operational standards, and high system resilience.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as embedded SRE within one or more product/engineering teams
• Own service reliability end-to-end: development, deployment, and production
• Build and operate cloud-native platforms based on Kubernetes
• Implement Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD automation
• Develop observability solutions (monitoring, logging, alerting)
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis
• Define and enforce operational guardrails and release frameworks
• Drive continuous improvement in performance, resilience, and cost efficiency
• Enable safe, predictable, and standardized releases across teams
• Coach engineering teams toward higher operational maturity (not just "keep the lights on")

Cloud Hyperscaler

Strong hands-on experience with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP). AWS strongly preferred.

Kubernetes

Hands-on experience: cluster setup, application deployment, stateful and stateless workloads, autoscaling

Infrastructure as Code

Skilled in at least one of: Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet

CI/CD

Experience setting up and managing pipelines with Jenkins and/or GitLab CI

Observability

Proficient implementing monitoring/logging solutions, e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack

Programming

Working familiarity with at least one of: Node.js, Golang, Java

Ideal Profile (Experience & Soft Skills)

• Deep hands-on experience in SRE / DevOps / Platform Engineering (please indicate years)
• Proven experience leading or managing engineering teams or technical squads
• Strong ownership mindset; able to operate independently with minimal supervision
• Experience in distributed systems and production-critical environments
• Strong incident management experience, including on-call rotations
• Ability to influence across teams without formal/direct authority
• Prior experience working in embedded team structures (i.e., not a siloed central ops team)
• Strong communication skills in English (spoken and written)

Additional Context

A key focus of this engagement is scaling reliability practices across multiple teams . Candidates are expected not only to operate systems, but to actively:

• Define and evangelize operational standards
• Improve release processes across teams
• Coach engineering teams toward higher operational maturity
