The company is currently executing a phased rebuild of its Member Portal, migrating from Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure, and undergoing a data transformation, going from ad-hoc reports to a modern data strategy. As multiple engineering, data, and DevOps workstreams scale, strong DevOps leadership is required to ensure the platform remains secure, scalable, and operationally mature.
This is not a ticket-driven operations role. Instead, this person will serve as the DevOps authority and architectural guide, ensuring best practices are established early and followed consistently as the system grows.
You will collaborate closely with engineering leads, architects, and delivery leadership to define and evolve the DevOps strategy, while also supporting key implementation decisions when needed. You will own the DevOps roadmap and will work with C-level leadership to define the priorities to deliver the secure, scalable, robust, and cost-effective platform necessary to run the business.
