Job Summary
A DevOps Manager at Logicbroker owns the delivery, reliability, and overall health of the DevOps and Infrastructure team. The team manages the cloud infrastructure supporting every Logicbroker and Virtualstock service, including Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and production environments handling more than 100 million requests each month.
Managers at Logicbroker are player-coaches. You'll be accountable for what your team delivers, the reliability of our systems, and the growth of your engineers, while remaining technically engaged. Your hands-on contributions will focus on investigation, runbooks, automation, and removing obstacles, empowering your team to own critical-path project execution.
At Logicbroker, AI-driven development isn't a future initiative. Our engineering teams have been early adopters, building their own AI implementations and integrating emerging technologies into everyday workflows. We're looking for a leader who embraces AI-assisted engineering, identifies opportunities to reduce manual effort through intelligent automation, and drives greater efficiency, reliability, and scalability across our infrastructure.
Work Authorization: Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Logicbroker is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship for this position, now or in the future.
What You'll Do:
People and delivery
- Own delivery for the team. Turn roadmap priorities into a sequenced plan. Answer for what ships and when.
- Run hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, performance management, and career growth for every engineer on the team, including contractors.
- Shield the team's focus time. Absorb or redirect interrupt-driven requests instead of passing them to engineers.
- Report capacity honestly in planning. Push back on unrealistic asks instead of absorbing them silently.
- Act as first escalation point for delivery risk, interpersonal issues, and technical disagreements the team cannot resolve.
Reliability and operations
- Own production reliability. Define SLOs and SLIs for tier-1 services, report error-budget burn each month, and plan capacity ahead of demand.
- Contribute to the on-call rotation under the company incident and problem management policy. Set rotation size, handoffs, and escalation paths so that no engineer carries sustained out-of-hours load.
- Lead post-incident reviews for infrastructure causes. Track every corrective action to closure.
- Keep Datadog coverage and alert quality at a level where on-call engineers trust the pages they receive. Track and cut alert noise.
- Report cloud spend by service across AWS, Azure, and IBM Cloud, and act on the largest drivers.
