🚀 Project Overview

You will lead the DevOps, infrastructure engineering, and operational readiness for an innovative, high-impact power management platform designed to optimize energy consumption in large-scale data centers and alleviate pressure on power grids.

In this role, you will tackle high-stakes technical challenges: consolidating a fragmented CI/CD ecosystem, standardizing multi-environment deployments across Azure cloud and edge Kubernetes clusters, embedding DevSecOps practices, and directly line-managing a high-performing nearshore team of DevOps, MLOps, and QA automation engineers.

🔍 Key Responsibilities

• Cloud & Edge Infrastructure: Own CI/CD, deployment, release, and operational readiness across Azure cloud and edge Kubernetes environments for a mission-critical energy management platform.
• CI/CD Consolidation: Consolidate a fragmented CI/CD estate (currently split across GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps) into a unified, canonical standard, driving adoption across engineering teams.
• Developer Experience: Build golden paths and reusable pipeline templates to ensure newly developed services are production-deployable on day one.
• Edge Deployment Strategy: Establish repeatable, auditable, versioned, and reversible deployment pipelines for disconnected or intermittently connected edge sites.
• Production Readiness & Incident Management: Define and enforce operational readiness criteria (observability, alerting, runbooks, on-call rotation). Own the incident management lifecycle, blameless postmortems, and remediation tracking.
• DevSecOps Integration: Embed automated security gates into CI/CD pipelines (container scanning, dependency scanning, secret detection, SBOM, signed artifacts, policy-as-code) and manage credential/secret lifecycles across cloud and edge locations.
• Engineering Leadership: Line-manage DevOps, MLOps, and QA automation engineers—handling 1-on-1s, performance goals, growth, and hiring. Set technical standards, drive nearshore engineering outcomes, and track DORA metrics for senior leadership.

💡 Must-Have Skills

• Leadership Experience: Minimum 6+ years of hands-on experience in a DevOps leadership or engineering management role.
• Kubernetes Expertise: Proven track record running Kubernetes in production across both cloud and edge infrastructure.
• Azure Mastery: Deep technical knowledge of Azure services, including AKS, Azure Identity/Active Directory, and cloud networking.
• CI/CD Ecosystems: Extensive experience consolidating and scaling enterprise pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps.
• Observability Tools: Hands-on experience establishing production telemetry using tools like Datadog and Grafana.
• DevSecOps Practices: Strong experience in automated security delivery, secret rotation (especially in low-connectivity environments), and policy-as-code.
• People Management: Direct experience mentoring, hiring, and managing technical talent (DevOps, QA, MLOps).
• Agile & Remote Work: Proven success thriving in distributed remote environments using Agile methodologies.
• Fluent English: Professional working proficiency for daily oral and written communication.

🌟 Nice-to-Have Skills

• Exposure to AI coding agents and automated code review workflows.
• Familiarity with AWS infrastructure and MLOps practices (model deployment and monitoring).
• Industry background in energy, industrial, utility, or data center domain engineering.
• Knowledge of Microsoft AI Foundry or frameworks like LangGraph.

🌐 Time Zone & Collaboration

This role requires a minimum overlap of 6 hours with US Central (CT) and Pacific (PT) business hours during a standard 8-hour workday to collaborate effectively with distributed engineering teams.

💬 Language

All interviews, technical documentation, daily team syncs, and operational communications will be conducted in English.
