## Description

A software product company that builds case-management technology for state and county government agencies is seeking a DevOps Manager. You will lead and grow a small platform engineering team while staying hands-on yourself - roughly half your time managing and coaching, the other half in architecture, automation, and production work. The team is actively modernizing from the ground up, building real security practices, observability, and release automation largely from scratch. This is a fully remote, US-based role with a collaborative, hands-on team and real room to shape how the platform is run.
