Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Team Lead to join our team. You will be responsible for leading our DevOps team while maintaining hands-on technical involvement, focusing on platform engineering, infrastructure automation, observability, and supporting development teams. Your work will play a vital role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our cloud infrastructure that supports thousands of users on our digital platform. 

You’ll collaborate closely with development teams, operations, and other team leads to deliver highquality platform solutions and maintain a robust, efficient infrastructure that enables our core business solutions. You should feel comfortable diving into infrastructure code and supporting development teams at a code level when needed. 

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the DevOps team in alignment with head guidelines and OKR requirements, working side-by-side with team members rather than traditional management. 
• Facilitate daily work for development teams by removing platform blockers and improving developer experience through self-service capabilities, automation, and contributing directly to infrastructure-related code when necessary. 
• Design, implement, and maintain AWS platform infrastructure using Terraform across multiple environments (pre/prod) with proper security and access controls. 
• Investigate and debug Java applications independently without requiring development team assistance, including JVM-level issues, logs, and identifying platform-related bottlenecks. 
• Lead by example through clean infrastructure code, technical ownership, and strong platform engineering practices. 
• Implement and maintain comprehensive platform monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions (CloudWatch, SNS, Dynatrace) to ensure system reliability. 
• Manage platform automation tools (Rundeck, GitLab CI/CD) and optimize deployment processes using Atlantis for GitOps workflows. 
• Support the growth of the team by mentoring peers, guiding code reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence in platform engineering. 
• Collaborate with backend developers to align platform evolution with application needs, contributing to code reviews and shared architectural decisions. 

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, infrastructure engineering, or development team lead experience, including largescale cloud environments. 
• Expert knowledge of AWS services (ECS, RDS, VPC, CloudWatch, SNS, etc.) and multi-account AWS organizations. 
• Deep experience with Terraform and infrastructure as code, including modular architecture and multi-environment management. 
• Java coding experience and ability to work with application code for infrastructure improvements; understanding how infrastructure choices impact application behavior and developer velocity. 
• Proven track record delivering high-performance, secure, and scalable platform infrastructure. 
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration platforms, and CI/CD pipelines. 
• Comfortable navigating and improving legacy infrastructure while advocating for longterm platform quality. 
• Experience with platform monitoring and observability tools, automation scripting, and version control (Git). 
• Comfortable switching context between infrastructure automation and applicationlevel performance/debugging. 
• High proficiency in English (spoken and written).

Bonus points for

• Experience with multi-account AWS organizations and complex cloud architectures. 
• Knowledge of PostgreSQL database administration and optimization. 
• Strong understanding of Java applications and ability to investigate/debug without developer assistance. 
• Familiarity with zero-trust networking solutions. 
• Experience with GitOps workflows and Atlantis for automated deployments. 
• Understanding of platform security best practices and compliance requirements. 
• Experience with platform cost optimization and resource management strategies.
• Knowledge of performance optimization best practices and disaster recovery planning. 
• Experience with observability instrumentation and monitoring implementation. 
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, Cursor). 
• Experience acting as a technical bridge between infrastructure and application teams, including joint debugging, logging, and performance optimization. 
• Exposure to backend development (especially Java) beyond infrastructure concerns is a plus.
