Full Job Description
Position Overview The Director, DevOps is a hands-on technology leader accountable for the strategy and the day-to-day execution of CI/CD, release engineering, and site reliability across our mobility business. The DevOps function operates in a hybrid environment that includes Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and on-premises data centers, in close partnership with the Cloud Engineering organization. This is a working leadership role, not a layered management role. The Director leads a team of senior DevOps and SRE engineers directly — setting direction, designing the hardest pieces, writing and reviewing code, owning incidents, and shipping alongside the team. The right leader is energized by being close to the work, comfortable in a terminal and in front of executives in the same day, and uses that proximity to make better decisions faster. You will own the build, release, and runtime reliability layers supporting a multitude of microservices and applications across the Verra Mobility portfolio. You will partner with peers in Cloud Engineering, Software Engineering, Architecture, Product, and Information Security, and you will be accountable for the reliability, security posture, and delivery velocity of the software your teams ship. Key Responsibilities Hands-On Technical Leadership Lead from the front: design and contribute directly to pipelines, release automation, deployment tooling, and observability instrumentation. Pick up the hard problems alongside the team. Own the technical direction for CI/CD, release engineering, and SRE practices across AWS, Azure, and on-prem workloads. Make architectural decisions for the delivery pipeline that span environments and product lines. Personally review designs, pull requests, and significant pipeline or automation changes; raise the technical bar through high-signal feedback and pairing. Set engineering standards — pipeline-as-code patterns, branching strategies, deployment patterns (blue/green, canary, featu
