## Description

This is a full-time, Columbus, OH-based position that requires onsite visits with the client 5 days a week. ImagineX is seeking a proactive, people-first Technology Program Leader to run our DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practice for our client. In this role, you will bridge strategic leadership, client engagement, and technical execution. You will directly manage a team of hands-on DevOps/SRE engineers while partnering closely with the Lead Technical Architect to drive operational excellence, pipeline automation, and system reliability.
This role requires a strong organizational leader who is "technically conversant." You do not need to write code daily, but you must comfortably follow technical discussions, understand cloud/infrastructure architecture, and translate complex engineering concepts into clear business outcomes., * Team Leadership & People Management: Direct management of hands-on DevOps and SRE engineers. Drive performance management, career development, team health, and resource allocation.

 * Technical & Delivery Oversight: Partner with the Tech Lead to oversee infrastructure modernization, CI/CD pipeline optimization, monitoring, and incident response frameworks. Maintain situational awareness of technical progress without needing to perform the hands-on implementation.

 * Client Engagement: Serve as a trusted advisor to client leadership, ensuring transparency, accountability, and seamless service delivery.
