Senior AWS-Azure Devops manager

About the role

We are looking for a DevOps Manager to lead our DevOps and cloud function on AWS. You will own the delivery pipeline, infrastructure reliability, security posture and cloud cost, and manage a small team of DevOps and cloud engineers. This is a player-coach role: you set direction and standards, and stay close enough to the work to review designs and help in incidents.

What you will do

• Lead and grow the DevOps/cloud team: hiring, onboarding, goal setting, code and design reviews, and performance feedback.
• Own the AWS architecture and roadmap for infrastructure, covering reliability, scalability, security and cost.
• Define and maintain CI/CD standards across all backend and frontend services, from build to production release.
• Drive infrastructure as code adoption and keep environments (dev, staging, production) consistent.
• Own observability, on-call, incident response and post-incident reviews. Set SLOs and track reliability metrics.
• Own disaster recovery, backup and high availability plans, and test them regularly.
• Partner with security and compliance on IAM, network security, secrets management, audits and certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR).
• Manage cloud budget: track spend, forecast, and lead cost optimization work.
• Work with engineering and product leads to plan releases, capacity and infrastructure needs.
• Evaluate and manage tooling and vendors.
• Maintain runbooks, documentation and clear ownership for every service.

What we are looking for

• 10-12 years in DevOps, cloud or infrastructure engineering, with 2+ years leading a team.
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, Route 53, CloudWatch, Lambda).
• Strong experience with Terraform or CloudFormation and CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI or similar).
• Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes or ECS.
• Solid understanding of networking, Linux, TLS, DNS and load balancing.
• Experience with monitoring and logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog or similar).
• Experience handling security reviews and compliance audits.
• Track record of improving release speed and reliability, and of managing cloud cost.
• Clear communicator who can work with engineers, product and leadership.

Nice to have

• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional).
• Experience with Java/Spring Boot services in production.
• Experience with real-time audio/video or media workloads.
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
• FinOps experience.

Why join us

• Own the infrastructure and delivery strategy of a growing product.
• Build the team and practices rather than inherit a fixed process.
• Work directly with engineering leadership and the people shipping the code.
