Position: Manager of Cloud & Automation About the Role We’re looking for a technical leader to guide a skilled engineering team responsible for building, automating, and running a large, complex cloud platform. You’ll combine people leadership with deep cloud expertise — designing and implementing modern infrastructure-as-code practices, coaching engineers, and ensuring high availability and compliance in a regulated environment.
This is a true “player–coach” opportunity for someone who enjoys both shaping strategy and contributing to the resolution of complex technical challenges with your team.
What You’ll Do
Direct and mentor a team of engineers managing a mission‑critical, cloud‑native infrastructure.
Architect, deploy, and maintain automated workflows for provisioning, configuration, and ongoing operations of cloud services using infrastructure‑as‑code tools.
Establish a library of reusable automation scripts, templates, and procedures to accelerate delivery and improve reliability.
Oversee DevOps activities involving containers, messaging platforms, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Jenkins).
Drive upgrades, patching, disaster recovery, and lifecycle planning for cloud resources to ensure resilience and compliance.
Forecast capacity requirements and align them with business growth.
Build roadmaps for future technology adoption, security controls, and process improvements.
Act as escalation point for complex technical issues and provide guidance across internal teams.
Communicate status, risks, and recommendations clearly to senior stakeholders.
Set priorities, manage workloads, and ensure the team delivers high‑quality outcomes on schedule.
Support on‑call and maintenance windows while promoting healthy work‑life balance for the team.
What You’ll Bring
Proven track record leading highly technical teams through implementing and maintaining 24×7, mission‑critical cloud or virtualized infrastructures.
Deep knowledge of modern infrastructure design (servers, networks, operating systems, storage) and automation frameworks.
Expertise with Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Kafka, GitHub, and configuration management tools (Chef, Puppet, Ansible, etc.).
Hands‑on experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure‑as‑code practices.
Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills — able to influence and collaborate across distributed teams.
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum approaches to managing work.
Comfort working under pressure, meeting deadlines, and ensuring compliance with controls and security requirements (CIS, NIST, or similar).
Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (or equivalent experience).
7+ years in IT operations/administration of cloud or virtualized systems.
