Your Career

This role reports to Devops Director, Cortex product

You will be expected to be versed in the technical domains and be able to engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff . We are looking for someone with strong critical thinking and analytical skills, who is a self-starter, a great communicator and has demonstrated ability to build consensus at all levels, and is passionate about driving change in a dynamic fast-paced environment.

Your Impact

• Work closely with DevOps, SRE and platform engineering teams to orchestrate end-to-end delivery of complex infrastructure and product capabilities across multiple services and environments.

• Serve as the primary integration point between DevOps and development teams, ensuring smooth alignment on architecture, deployment models, CI/CD processes, reliability targets, and production readiness.

• Partner with product management to translate high-level requirements into technical execution plans, define realistic timelines, and track cross-team commitments.

• Maintain a system-level understanding of all moving parts: production change process, infra upgrades, migrations, capacity plans and rollout constraints.

• Identify and flag technical dependencies early, particularly those affecting infrastructure, deployment flows, monitoring, and scaling requirements.

• Drive and define change-management processes: release planning, rollout strategies, maintenance windows, gating criteria, risk assessments, observability readiness, and post-launch validations.

• Coordinate sprint plans, milestones, and execution cycles across DevOps and development organizations, ensuring teams deliver aligned increments that fit into broader program roadmaps.

• Provide regular communication to senior engineering leadership on execution status, blockers, architectural risks, and operational concerns.

• Work hand-in-hand with technical leads/architects to understand deep technical topics such as Kubernetes upgrades, multi-region deployments, data-store migrations, networking changes, or infra cost optimizations.

Your Experience

• 8+ years of engineering or technical program management experience, including 4+ years managing cross-functional infra/DevOps delivery programs at scale.
  

• Deep, hands-on understanding of SaaS DevOps domains: release orchestration, multi-region deployments, environment promotion flows, maintenance windows, incident lifecycle, change-management, and production readiness standards.
  

• Strong familiarity with Agile methodologies, sprint/iteration planning, and running large cross-team delivery cycles across infra and development organizations.
  

• Demonstrated ability to work with engineering teams to translate product and architectural requirements into detailed technical execution plans, functional specifications, test/validation criteria, and deployment strategies.
  

• Comfortable presenting program status, architecture risks, and operational considerations to SVP/VP-level leaders; able to convert complex technical execution into clear, actionable communication.

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in a technical discipline (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems)

• Hands-on experience with JIRA and Confluence.

We define the industry instead of waiting for directions. We need individuals who feel comfortable in ambiguity, excited by the prospect of a challenge, and empowered by the unknown risks facing our everyday lives that are only enabled by a secure digital environment.
