We’re looking for a highly experienced DevOps professional who not only brings technical excellence and best practices to the table, but also has the ambition and mindset to take over leadership responsibilities — both operationally and strategically.

Activities

This role is a hybrid between hands-on DevOps engineering and technical leadership, with a strong development path toward full team leadership responsibilities:

Technical

• Define and execute infrastructure implementation on Azure and AWS for secure, scalable delivery.
• Optimize cloud architectures to ensure performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
• Build and maintain shared tools (Terraform / CDK components, CI/CD templates, API integrations).
• Strengthen cybersecurity and Compliance.

Operational & Leadership

• Lead and mentor the OpsHub team, fostering a collaborative DevOps culture.
• Drive KPI reporting, SLA improvement, and robust incident response processes.
• Manage OpsHub roadmap, priorities, and delivery across services.
• Enhance DevOps processes (CI/CD automation, system hardening, compliance).
• Oversee cost management to optimize infrastructure spend.
• Share best practices and act as an infrastructure partner to other teams.
• Maintain broad system knowledge to guide priorities and represent OpsHub strategically.

Our DevOps Principles

The Lary OpsHub team works based on the following core beliefs:

• Seamless Operations: Production infrastructure should be invisible — rock-solid, secure, and self-service for developers.
• Embrace Change: We don’t fear change — we engineer for it.
• Proactive Solutions: We don’t wait for problems to escalate. We solve them early and continuously.
• Risk Mastery: We assess, manage, and communicate risks with confidence.
• Collaboration First: OpsHub is a cross-cutting enabler for all product teams.
• Tech Forward: We adopt cutting-edge DevOps & AI tools early.
• Pursuit of Excellence: “It works” is not enough — we master the tools we use.

You’re a builder who:

• Wants to stay close to tech and grow as a leader.

• Enjoys empowering teams through great infrastructure.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or DevOps Engineer with a strong background in building and operating cloud-native systems.

• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Highly organized and proactive, with a bias for clarity, automation, and high impact.
• Bonus: experience with Jira Service Management, ITIL processes, or team operational planning.
