DevOps Manager, Infrastructure

Overview

A great infrastructure team is defined not by how fast it responds to incidents, but by how rarely incidents occur, because the team built the systems, automation, and AI-augmented operations that prevent them. The Dev Ops Manager, Infrastructure is the people leader and hands-on technical operator who makes that true at Origami Risk.

This manager leads the team that builds, runs, and continuously improves the cloud infrastructure that Engineering teams and clients depend on every day that spans AWS, self-hosted Windows and Active Directory, network and web-tier appliances, identity and secrets, and the automation platform that ties it all together. This is a hands-on technical leader who coaches Engineers on infrastructure engineering craft, sets a high bar for reliability and operational discipline, drives AI adoption into daily Dev Ops workflows, and partners with Engineering, Security, and Product so that infrastructure is a source of competitive advantage and not a constraint on what Engineering can deliver.

On this team, manual work is a problem to be solved, automation is the default, and every Engineer is expected to use AI to work faster and diagnose more accurately.

Starting base pay for this role is between $145,000 and $185,000. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs, training, location, and market demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. This role will be eligible for a bonus as well as competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, wellness reimbursement, life insurance, and a 401(k) with company match.

We offer vacation and sick leave benefits (under a flexible time off policy in most states).

What this team runs:

This is a broad estate spanning cloud-native and traditional infrastructure, operated to one modern standard. The successful candidate is energized by that breadth, not surprised by it. The team owns:

• Cloud (AWS): the core AWS estate - compute, container platforms, networking, and the supporting services Engineering and clients depend on, provisioned as code.

• Windows & Active Directory: the self-hosted Active Directory environment and Windows Server fleet, including the application servers that host the platform.

• Network & Web Tier: the firewall estate and web-tier proxy and load-balancing layer that route, secure, and front application traffic.

• Automation Platform: the automation and configuration-management platform that drives consistent, repeatable change across the estate.

• Identity & Secrets: the shared secrets-management platform, consumed self-service by teams across Engineering.

• DNS, Domains & Certificates: the DNS, domain, and certificate lifecycle that keeps services reachable and trusted.

• Storage, File & Access Services: the storage, file, backup, and remote-access services that support the business.

Key responsibilities:

People Leadership & Team Development

• Leads, develops, and retains a team of Cloud Infrastructure Engineers building a high-performance culture defined by technical excellence, an automation mindset, and operational ownership.

• Sets clear goals, role expectations, and success criteria for each engineer; conducts regular 1:1s and gives direct, constructive feedback with a visible path for growth.

• Conducts structured performance reviews that recognize strong operational contributions, address delivery or quality gaps specifically, and grow both AI fluency and foundational infrastructure depth.

• Identifies capability gaps across the team encompassing IaC, Windows/AD administration, networking, container orchestration, security controls, and AI-assisted operations, while building targeted hiring, upskilling, and cross-training plans.

• Fosters a culture where every manual process is a temporary state, automation is the permanent solution, and AI tooling is an expected part of how each engineer works.

• Supports Engineering hiring across the organization by participating in technical interviews and helping calibrate the infrastructure engineering bar.

Cloud Infrastructure Operations

• Owns the operational health of the organization's AWS infrastructure setting team standards for provisioning, configuration management, environment consistency, patching cadences, capacity planning, and cost optimization across all environments.

• Leads the team's infrastructure-as-code practice ensuring resources are defined, versioned, peer-reviewed, and deployed through…
