About this role
Deepwatch is a leader in managed security services, focused on protecting organizations from cyber threats. The Manager of DevOps Engineering will lead the SRE team, oversee cloud infrastructure, and drive operational resilience while mentoring engineers.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and grow the SRE team , setting direction, mentoring and managing engineers, and fostering excellence
- Design and manage cloud and containerized infrastructure with IaC (Terraform)
- Implement robust CI/CD pipelines integrating security and compliance
- Build scalable observability systems, leading the definition of SLIs / SLOs and dashboards
- Manage incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems; automate recovery via playbooks/runbooks
- Drive capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost efficiency
- Collaborate with InfoSec, DevSecOps, and Compliance teams—ensuring alignment with frameworks like FedRAMP, NIST, RMF
- Support program-level initiatives, communicating effectively with stakeholders
- Promote a culture of reliability, security, and developer efficiency
- Maintain an active 'player' role, dedicating approximately 75% of your time to hands-on engineering (design, coding, and architecture) and 25% to leadership, mentorship, and management
Requirements:
- 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering; with technical leadership experience ready to step into management as a player/coach
- Proven cloud experience (AWS, GCP) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker)
- Strong coding/scripting (Python, GO) and proficiency in IaC and GitOps
- Deep knowledge of observability tools and defining reliability metrics
- Experienced in incident handling (PagerDuty, Datadog) and post-incident evaluations
- Demonstrated success in mentoring and developing junior/mid-level SRE talent, moving beyond delegation to hands-on technical coaching
- Familiarity with regulatory or cybersecurity frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST, STIGs, RMF)
- Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management
- certifications such as AWS, CKA, or cyber security credentials (e.g., OSCP)
