Lead DevOps Engineer

Some of the worlds most innovative global software and technology companies struggle to find engineering partners capable of stepping into complex environments and immediately driving meaningful outcomes. These teams need more than additional hands—they need senior engineers who can quickly understand an environment, identify the path forward, and execute without constant direction.

Enter Ever Ops – the premier Embedded Service Provider. We partner directly with customer engineering teams to assess and address mission-critical infrastructure, cloud, security, and delivery challenges.

Ever Ops is looking for a Lead Dev Ops Engineer with deep AWS infrastructure experience, exceptional cloud networking expertise, and a proven ability to establish and scale mature infrastructure engineering practices.

This role will be responsible for helping build and lead the engineering capability supporting customer deployments across new and existing AWS environments. You'll establish the infrastructure foundations, security standards, deployment patterns, and operational practices necessary to deliver reliable, repeatable, and scalable customer infrastructure.

You'll operate within a business-critical environment where ensuring operational stability, strengthening security practices, reducing technical debt, and establishing scalable engineering standards are essential. The infrastructure spans AWS, networking, application platforms, databases, and production operations, requiring someone who can evaluate the broader technical landscape and identify practical opportunities for improvement.

Success requires more than hands-on technical expertise. You'll need to evaluate existing engineering practices, establish standards, mentor engineers, and build processes that enable a growing team to operate effectively while maintaining high standards for security, reliability, and operational excellence.

This role requires someone who can quickly assess unfamiliar environments, work through ambiguity, and independently translate business and technical objectives into actionable engineering deliverables.

Your responsibilities will include multi-account AWS architecture, cloud networking, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, security hardening, disaster recovery, and production readiness
. You'll also support ongoing infrastructure migrations and modernization efforts, ensuring changes are implemented safely and aligned with established engineering standards.

As the engineering function grows, you'll help establish team responsibilities, technical standards, delivery processes, and operational expectations while mentoring engineers and driving continuous improvement.

This is a highly autonomous, hands-on technical leadership role. You'll be expected to identify what needs improvement, prioritize work based on operational risk and business impact, define actionable technical deliverables, and drive…
