Job description
Coda Search is proud to partner with an established, growing financial software company to hire a Director of DevOps Engineering. Candidates must live within a reasonable commute of the northeast Atlanta suburbs for two onsite days per week.
Base Salary: ~$175K, commensurate with experience
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, PTO, and tuition reimbursement
What's in it for you?
Build the function: You'll own DevOps and release management for the whole engineering organization and set the tooling, standards, and release strategy.
Real investment behind you: The company is in the middle of a funded technology modernization, and this seat sits at the center of it.
Measurable impact: You'll set and move DORA metrics, so the results of your work show up in hard numbers.
Leadership with your hands on the keyboard: You'll lead a team of 6 to 7 DevOps engineers and still work directly in the pipelines and infrastructure code.
Stable, established business: The product is mature with a loyal customer base, so your focus is modernization instead of survival.
What will your day look like?
Own release management: Define release cadence, versioning, release coordination, and production change controls across engineering.
Architect CI/CD: Design and continuously improve pipeline architecture and standardize tooling across teams.
Lead Infrastructure as Code: Drive IaC and policy-as-code practices on Azure, with Terraform or similar tooling.
Modernize deployments: Put in progressive delivery, including Blue/Green and Canary releases, automated rollback, and epoxy per-branch environments.
Embed DevSecOps: Build automated security scanning and policy enforcement into the pipeline in partnership with Security.
Run Kubernetes workloads: Support containerized deployment and routing on Kubernetes.
Partner across the org: Work with Engineering, Security, and QA on release readiness, deployment safety, and incident learning.
Develop the team: Hire, coach, and manage the performance of a team of 6 to 7 DevOps engineers.
Who are you?
Experienced: You have 8+ years in DevOps, release engineering, or software engineering.
A proven people leader: You've directly managed a DevOps or engineering team for 3+ years, including hiring and performance management.
Hands‑on in Azure: You've run production workloads in Microsoft Azure. This is required.
An IaC and pipeline builder: You've designed CI/CD architecture and release processes at scale, using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, with Terraform or similar IaC.
Fluent in containers and modern delivery: You've worked with Docker and Kubernetes in production and have shipped with progressive delivery patterns.
A change agent: You'd rather build and modernize a function than maintain one, and you bring structure and automation to environments that are still maturing.
