This position leads the DevOps organization and works in close partnership with the Head of Technology and Chief Security Officer to deliver stable, secure, compliant, and high-performing systems that empower engineering teams to ship faster with confidence. The role owns end-to-end cloud infrastructure operations, modern CI/CD practices, observability, and the operational execution of SOC 2 (and other relevant) compliance controls. In addition, the Cloud Engineer champions the responsible integration of AI-enabled engineering practices, governing tools and workflows that measurably improve developer productivity, code quality, documentation, and delivery velocity. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who combines deep infrastructure and security expertise with strong people leadership and a passion for enabling high-performing engineering teams. What You Will Be Doing 1. DevOps Leadership & Cloud Infrastructure Operations Lead and mature the DevOps function that serves as the operational backbone for all engineering teams. Key Deliverables: * Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes that enable reliable, low-risk, frequent releases. * Manage cloud infrastructure (development, UAT/staging, production) with a focus on cost-efficiency, scalability, and high availability. * Implement and maintain enterprise-grade monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability solutions. * Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code, configuration, and environment management standards. * Lead infrastructure scalability planning and capacity management to support business and platform growth. * Drive continuous improvement of build, release, and operational workflows in collaboration with engineering teams. 2. Security Operations & Compliance Partner closely with the Security Officer to embed security and compliance into every layer of engineering and infrastructure. Key Deliverables: * Operational ownership and execution of SOC 2 controls (infrastructure, change management, access control, monitoring, etc.). * Timely collection and organization of audit evidence and documentation. * Oversight of vulnerability management programs, including DAST, SAST, SCA, and remediation workflows. * Enforcement of secure infrastructure and deployment practices (IaC scanning, secrets management, least-privilege access, etc.). * Management of cloud and infrastructure access controls and permissions. * Coordination of security incident response and vulnerability remediation efforts. 3. Production Reliability & Incident Management Ensure exceptional uptime, performance, and resilience across all environments. Key Deliverables: * Design and maintain robust observability practices that provide actionable visibility into system health and user experience. * Lead or coordinate incident response for infrastructure and platform-related incidents. * Drive rigorous post-incident root cause analysis and implement lasting preventive improvements (blameless culture). * Continuously improve system performance, reliability, and operational maturity. 4. Engineering Enablement & Developer Experience Provide the platforms, tools, and standards that allow engineers to focus on building great products. Key Deliverables: * Manage and evolve internal developer platforms, tooling, and self-service capabilities. * Drive improvements in build pipelines, automated testing, and deployment workflows. * Standardize and simplify development environments and operational practices. * Measure and improve key developer productivity and satisfaction metrics. 5. AI-Enabled Engineering Practices Lead the responsible adoption of AI tools to accelerate engineering velocity and quality. Key Deliverables: * Establish clear policies, guardrails, and best practices for secure and ethical use of AI-assisted coding, testing, and documentation tools. * Integrate AI capabilities into existing workflows for code generation, test generation, code review assistance, and documentation automation. * Automate creation and maintenance of technical documentation (architecture, system diagrams, runbooks, etc.). * Track and report on measurable gains in productivity, quality, and documentation coverage. 6. Technical Collaboration & Institutional Knowledge Serve as a trusted technical advisor and institutional memory for the engineering organization. Key Deliverables: * Provide operational expertise and risk-informed input to the Head of Technology on major initiatives, platform architecture, and infrastructure strategy. * Contribute to platform evolution, scalability planning, and technology roadmap decisions. * Support and modernize (where appropriate) legacy systems still in active use. * Act as an escalation point and knowledge resource for complex troubleshooting and cross-team initiatives ## Related Videos - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
