• Ensure the secure and scalable deployment and management of applications across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). This includes defining cloud architecture, optimizing resource utilization, and implementing cost-effective cloud solutions.
• Integrate security best practices into all aspects of the DevOps lifecycle. Establish clear security policies and procedures to maintain regulatory compliance and mitigate security risks within the infrastructure and applications.
• Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and feedback within the DevOps team that leverages automation and AI for continuous improvement.
• Stay abreast of the latest trends and advancements in DevOps, AI and automation, proactively evaluating emerging frameworks and platforms to maintain a competitive, scalable, and innovative DevOps practice.

What you'll bring:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience leading and managing high-performing DevOps and/or Site Reliability Engineering teams. Recruiting, performance management, team culture and engagement, budget and cost control.
• Deep understanding of DevOps principles, methodologies, and best practices.
• Familiarity with leveraging AI-driven automation in DevOps practices (such as intelligent monitoring, predictive scaling, or automated incident response) and a strong interest in expanding expertise in this area.
• Solid understanding of major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) with experience in deploying and managing applications on those platforms.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD), configuration management (e.g., Ansible, Chef), containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Experience in defining, measuring, and optimizing DevOps KPIs to ensure continuous improvement.
