DevOps Manager

United States

AssetWatch serves global manufacturers by powering manufacturing uptime through the delivery of an unparalleled condition monitoring experience, with a passion to care about the assets our customers care for every day. We are a devoted and capable team that includes world-renowned engineers and distinguished business leaders united by a common goal – To build the future of predictive maintenance. As we enter the next phase of rapid growth, we are seeking people to help lead the journey. 

AssetWatch is seeking an experienced hands-on DevOps Manager to lead the evolution of our infrastructure and culture as we scale our AWS-based platform. This role blends strategic leadership, coaching, and technical execution and is critical to moving our DevOps organization from reactive support to proactive ownership. 

You’ll lead a team responsible for reliability, scalability, automation, and security across a modern, event-driven stack. Beyond technical execution, your mission is to build a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement that accelerates delivery and strengthens trust between DevOps, Engineering, and Product. 

Key Responsibilities 

Team Leadership & Culture  

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of DevOps and SRE engineers through clear expectations, accountability, and mentorship. 
  • Drive a proactive, ownership-driven mindset — transforming the team from reactive operators to strategic enablers. 
  • Build strong relationships with Engineering, QA, and Product to ensure DevOps is involved early (“shift left”) in system design. 
  • Establish and enforce best practices around IaC, CI/CD, observability, and security. 
  • Create and manage expectations of roadmap for scaling infrastructure, increasing automation, and reducing toil. 
  • Drive alignment with company priorities through data-driven metrics (uptime, deployment frequency, recovery time, etc.). 
  • Conduct 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations that balance empathy with accountability. 
  • Participate in hiring and onboarding as the team grows. 

Hands-On Technical Execution 

  • Guide infrastructure architecture and implementation across AWS (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, Timestream, S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, etc.). 
  • Contribute to Terraform and CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, CodeMagic, Flyway, AWS CodePipeline) as needed. 
  • Improve observability and incident management through tooling like Site24x7, Sentry, Splunk, Jira, and CloudTrail. 
  • Partner with Security to maintain robust IAM, secrets management, and compliance (Wiz, SOC 2, GuardDuty, Okta). 
  • Optimize cloud costs. 
  • Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems to drive continuous learning. 
  • Evaluate and implement new technologies that simplify and scale infrastructure. 

 Core Technical Focus Areas 

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform and AWS CloudFormation 
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Flyway 
  • AWS Services: Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, Timestream, S3, CloudFront, VPC, IAM 
  • Observability: AWS CloudWatch, Site24x7, Sentry, Splunk 
  • Security & Compliance: SOC 2 readiness, IAM best practices, vulnerability scanning (Wiz, AWS Security Hub) 
  • Automation: Python, Bash scripting 
  • Cost Optimization: Cloud cost management, efficiency monitoring 

 Qualifications 

  • 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles. 
  • 3+ years in leadership or team management roles with direct reports. 
  • Proven experience managing and scaling AWS infrastructure at high-growth SaaS or IoT companies. 
  • Deep understanding of CI/CD automation, IaC, and observability practices. 
  • Strong experience implementing security and compliance in cloud environments. 
  • Skilled communicator who can translate between technical depth and business context.  
  • Demonstrated ability to coach and elevate teams — not just manage tasks. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer Professional.
  • Experience with serverless and event-driven architecture.
  • Exposure to data or ML infrastructure (SageMaker, Bedrock).
  • Experience with IoT systems or integrations (CMMS, EAM, etc.)
  • Familiarity with cost optimization strategies. 

What Success Looks Like 

  • The DevOps team operates proactively — anticipating challenges and driving solutions, not reacting to tickets. 
  • CI/CD pipelines are fast, reliable, and automated. 
  • Infrastructure is observable, secure, and cost-efficient. 
  • Engineering sees DevOps as a strategic partner that accelerates delivery. 
  • The team culture is accountable, empowered, and continuously improving.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
