Learn more at betsol.com About the role You will lead a technical pod of full-stack DevOps/DevSecOps engineers while staying hands-on in the code, the architecture, and the pipelines. This is a player-coach role: you set technical direction across the stack, run design and code reviews, unblock the team, and double as the project manager for the engagement. You are the single point of accountability for what the pod ships and how it ships. Responsibilities Technical Leadership Own end-to-end architecture across infrastructure, CI/CD, and application layers for cloud portal workloads on Azure and GCP. Drive systems-level design: trade-off analysis, reference architectures, reusable Terraform/Ansible/Helm patterns, and platform conventions the team builds against. Run code reviews and design reviews. Set the quality bar and the definition of done. Stay hands-on: contribute IaC modules, pipeline logic, and application code as needed. Expect to spend roughly 80% of your time on technical contributions and 20% on team management. Champion AI-first development practices across the pod: model-assisted coding, prompt and context discipline, agentic workflows in IDEs and CI, and review of AI-generated output for security and correctness. Delivery & Project Management Run the pod as project manager: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, status reporting to BETSOL and client stakeholders. Maintain the backlog, sequence work against client priorities, and surface risks early. Lead release management, change control, and post-incident reviews. Forecast capacity as the pod scales from 2-3 to 5-6 engineers and partner with BETSOL on hiring loops for added seats. People & Mentorship Onboard new engineers, set growth paths, and provide regular one-on-one technical coaching. Build a culture of ownership, transparent communication, and continuous learning. DevSecOps Governance Embed security, compliance (FedRAMP, FIPS, CIS, ISO, PCI), and observability standards into every delivery the pod produces. Partner with client security teams on threat modeling and audit response.
