As one of the first people on the team, you won't inherit a fixed playbook: you'll write it, shaping how the team works, the practices and tooling it adopts, and how operational excellence becomes part of how we build and run products. It's a hands-on, senior role where you set the technical and operational direction for a small team of two to three people, leading by expertise and example rather than as a manager. AI is transforming how we work, and you'll bring that same fluency to how the RUN team operates from day one. If defining a new discipline energises you more than maintaining an established one, this is your challenge. * Take operational ownership of internal and hosted products in production, keeping them reliable, secure, performant and cost-effective. * Own the incident lifecycle end to end (detection, response, mitigation, resolution and blameless post-mortems) using incident.io, and take part in a fair, sustainable on-call rotation. * Define and operationalise SLIs, SLOs and error budgets, and be a key figure in maintenance and SLA presales, shaping proposals, contracts and framework agreements. * Build and maintain a modern observability stack with a strong focus on OpenTelemetry. * Grow a platform engineering and inner-sourcing culture: reusable components (e.g. GitLab components, Terraform modules), self-service golden paths and production-readiness scorecards for product teams. * Work hands-on across CI/CD, infrastructure as code, cloud-native architecture and networking, and design for resilience, performance and scale. * Embed security into everything you run, secrets management, scanning (SAST/DAST), penetration tests and vulnerability remediation. * Reduce toil through automation and an AI-first approach to operations, keeping a close feedback loop with the development teams. * Play an enabling role in setting and enforcing best practices when it comes to end-to-end incident management. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [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) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
