As we continue our growth, we are now looking for a Devops Lead who will drive our platform engineering efforts, guiding our Devops, Security and Sysops teams. This is a key role in our Engineering department, aimed at improving the overall efficiency of our technical teams (through automation, self-service tools and standardisation) as well as directly supporting our company goals by ensuring stability, scalability, observability and cost management of our infrastructure.

Here’s How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Manage & Mentor a cross-functional team of DevOps, SecOps, and SysOps engineers, helping them in delivering on our goals while growing in their careers.
• Own the teams’ backlog, creating a visible workflow to ensure that every task is tracked, estimated, and prioritized against business goals.
• Align the team's planning with the other leaders in Engineering, Product and Project to facilitate cross-team initiatives, shielding the team from context switching while ensuring stakeholders know exactly what is being delivered and when.
• Work with the development teams to build a "self-service platform", establishing reusable templates and standardized workflows so developers can ship code more independently.
• Build team KPIs and system SLOs to visualize performance, identify bottlenecks and ensure proactive reliability
• Bridge the gap between the Engineering Team and Product stakeholders, translating technical debt into business risk and explaining infrastructure investments in terms of value.
• Establish comprehensive documentation and runbooks to cover the infrastructure, tools and processes owned by the teams
• Work hand-in-hand with other Leads to ensure our CI/CD pipelines and tooling align with their needs, always being an enabler and never a blocker

While you may code less than an IC, you must possess deep expertise to govern our stack:

• Cloud & Orchestration: Advanced architecture experience with GCP/AWS and Kubernetes as you support our strategy towards stronger efficiencies,scaling, and cost optimization.
• IaC & Security: Enforce Infrastructure as Code best practices, ensure security is shifted left while evolving our observability stack to ensure we are measuring and tracking the right things.

CI/CD: Oversee the modernization of our delivery pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab CI) to ensure rapid, reliable, and testable releases.

What Makes You A Strong Candidate:

• 7+ years in DevOps/Infrastructure, with at least 3+ years in a Lead or Management role.
• Strong experience in building technical roadmaps, capacity planning and stakeholder management
• Experience in shaping Platform engineering teams, focused on both production stability and developer efficiency
• Ability to work on team level & strategic level with experience in working with Agile (Scrum, Kanban) methodologies
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and guide mulit-disciplinary teams.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
• Solid background in programming (Go, Python, or Groovy)
• Exceptional English written and verbal communication skills.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Remote-first flexibility — Work from anywhere with a setup for deep focus and work-life balance
• Learning & growth — Development budgets and dedicated days to upskill and explore new areas
• Health & wellness — Medical coverage and well-being budgets to help you feel balanced, strong, and supported
