## Description

n

We are looking for a hands-on AWS DevOps Lead to own and evolve our cloud platform and lead a blended onsite and offshore team of 5-10 engineers. You will set the vision and roadmap for AWS infrastructure, DevOps, and CI/CD, while staying technical enough to design, build, and troubleshoot the platform yourself.

\n

As part of the Platforms & Engineering team, you will partner with IT stakeholders to cloud-enable their systems, keep our AWS environment secure and well governed, and make sure the team delivers reliably. This role suits a leader who is equally comfortable whiteboarding a multi-account network design, reviewing a pipeline, and running a team stand-up.
