2012 DevOps Manager (Azure)

📌 Position: DevOps Manager Location: Remote from LATAM Contract Type: Full-time vendor (Contract directly with In All Media) Time Zone Alignment: US Central Time (CT) / Pacific Time (PT) overlap 🧭 About In All Media In All Media is a global technology and design firm focused on building impactful digital solutions through remote, distributed teams across LATAM. We partner with international clients across industries, providing long-term technical expertise, product innovation, and team augmentation. Contract Details: This is a 100% remote contractor position open to talent anywhere in LATAM. Your contract and engagement will be directly managed with In All Media. 🚀 Project Overview You will lead the DevOps, infrastructure engineering, and operational readiness for an innovative, high-impact power management platform designed to optimize energy consumption in large-scale data centers and alleviate pressure on power grids. In this role, you will tackle high-stakes technical challenges: consolidating a fragmented CI/CD ecosystem, standardizing multi-environment deployments across Azure cloud and edge Kubernetes clusters, embedding DevSecOps practices, and directly line-managing a high-performing nearshore team of DevOps, MLOps, and QA automation engineers. 🔍 Key Responsibilities Cloud & Edge Infrastructure: Own CI/CD, deployment, release, and operational readiness across Azure cloud and edge Kubernetes environments for a mission-critical energy management platform. CI/CD Consolidation: Consolidate a fragmented CI/CD estate (currently split across GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps) into a unified, canonical standard, driving adoption across engineering teams. Developer Experience: Build golden paths and reusable pipeline templates to ensure newly developed services are production-deployable on day one. Edge Deployment Strategy: Establish repeatable, auditable, versioned, and reversible deployment pipelines for disconnected or intermittently connected edge sites. Production Readiness & Incident Management: Define and enforce operational readiness criteria (observability, alerting, runbooks, on-call rotation). Own the incident management lifecycle, blameless postmortems, and remediation tracking. DevSecOps Integration: Embed automated security gates into CI/CD pipelines (container scanning, dependency scanning, secret detection, SBOM, signed artifacts, policy-as-code) and manage credential/secret lifecycles across cloud and edge locations. Engineering Leadership: Line-manage DevOps, MLOps, and QA automation engineers—handling 1-on-1s, performance goals, growth, and hiring. Set technical standards, drive nearshore engineering outcomes, and track DORA metrics for senior leadership. 💡 Must-Have Skills Leadership Experience: Minimum 6+ years of hands-on experience in a DevOps leadership or engineering management role. Kubernetes Expertise: Proven track record running Kubernetes in production across both cloud and edge infrastructure. Azure Mastery: Deep technical knowledge of Azure services, including AKS, Azure Identity/Active Directory, and cloud networking. CI/CD Ecosystems: Extensive experience consolidating and scaling enterprise pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. Observability Tools: Hands-on experience establishing production telemetry using tools like Datadog and Grafana. DevSecOps Practices: Strong experience in automated security delivery, secret rotation (especially in low-connectivity environments), and policy-as-code. People Management: Direct experience mentoring, hiring, and managing technical talent (DevOps, QA, MLOps). Agile & Remote Work: Proven success thriving in distributed remote environments using Agile methodologies. Fluent English: Professional working proficiency for daily oral and written communication. 🌟 Nice-to-Have Skills Exposure to AI coding agents and automated code review workflows. Familiarity with AWS infrastructure and MLOps practices (model deployment and monitoring). Industry background in energy, industrial, utility, or data center domain engineering. Knowledge of Microsoft AI Foundry or frameworks like LangGraph. 🌐 Time Zone & Collaboration This role requires a minimum overlap of 6 hours with US Central (CT) and Pacific (PT) business hours during a standard 8-hour workday to collaborate effectively with distributed engineering teams. 💬 Language All interviews, technical documentation, daily team syncs, and operational communications will be conducted in English. #LI
