Oversee s the team's management of artifact repositories, container registries, and deployment automation for containerized services, Lambda functions, ECS tasks, and EKS workloads — ensuring deployment patterns are consistent, traceable, and recoverable across all environments. Hold s the team accountable for pipeline reliability — coaching E ngineers to diagnose and eliminate the root causes of flaky pipelines and intermittent infrastructure failures rather than treating them as acceptable operational noise. Track s and report s CI/CD performance metrics — including build cycle times, deployment success rates, pipeline failure rates, and deployment frequency — using data to drive continuous improvement in the team's pipeline delivery quality and engineering velocity impact. AI-Augmented DevOps Operations Drive s the adoption of AI development tools — including Claude Code and Cursor — across the DevOps team's daily workflow, establishing clear norms for AI-assisted infrastructure-as-code authoring, automation script generation, pipeline configuration, and operational documentation that maximize the team's engineering output. Champion s AI-assisted operations as a management discipline — directing the team to integrate AI-powered log analysis, intelligent anomaly detection, automated runbook generation, and LLM-augmented incident analysis into operational workflows that reduce mean time to diagnosis and improve resolution quality. Use s AI to accelerate the team's most demanding infrastructure work — including large-scale infrastructure audit and compliance analysis, automated drift detection, AI-generated capacity planning recommendations, and intelligent alerting configuration — and share effective patterns with engineering leadership. Evaluate s AI-native infrastructure intelligence tools — including AI-assisted deployment risk scoring, predictive scaling, and LLM-powered operational documentation — and make evidence-based recommendations to the Director of DevOps on where AI tooling investments will deliver the highest operational return. Hold s team members accountable for AI tool adoption and proficiency — incorporating AI fluency into performance conversations, development plans, and hiring criteria to ensure the team's capability in AI-augmented DevOps keeps pace with the organization's AI-first engineering direction. Observability, Monitoring & Incident Response Lead s the team's ownership of infrastructure and application observability — ensuring comprehensive monitoring dashboards, alerting policies, log aggregation, and anomaly detection are in place across the infrastructure stack using Datadog, CloudWatch, SumoLogic, and related tooling. Hold s the team accountable for alert quality — coaching E ngineers to build monitoring that surfaces actionable signals with appropriate urgency rather than generating noise that erodes on-call confidence and response effectiveness. Own s the team's on-call model — managing rotation schedules, escalation paths, and on-call readiness standards, and ensuring every engineer on the team is equipped with the runbooks, tooling access, and AI-assisted investigation capabilities needed to resolve incidents effectively. Lead s post-incident reviews for infrastructure-related failures — facilitating blameless retrospectives, producing structured root cause analyses, and owning follow-through on corrective actions that improve system resilience and prevent recurrence. Track s infrastructure reliability metrics — including availability, MTTR, change failure rate, and deployment frequency — reporting trends and improvement actions to the Director of DevOps with the regularity and specificity that operational management requires. Security, Compliance & Access Management Hold s the team accountable for infrastructure security controls across all AWS environments — including IAM policy governance, security group management, secrets management, encryption standards, vulnerability patching cadences, and compliance with security baselines aligned to NIST 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and SOC 2.
