DevOps Lead (with Team Lead Track)
In this position, you will lead and shape the future of our Lary OpsHub team. The Lary OpsHub empowers our product teams with a rock-solid, secure production infrastructure so they can focus 100% on user-oriented features as well as offering DevOps consulting services to our clients.
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

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.
