LEAD DEVOPS ENGINEER (REMOTE)
ABOUT EVEROPS
EverOps is the partner engineering teams wish they had but didn't know existed. We embed elite operators directly in our customers' teams to help them ship faster, reduce risk, and optimize cloud spend. We call them TechPods: forward-deployed, outcome-driven, backed by proven playbooks and AI-native workflows.
We sit in the sweet spot between strategy-only firms and staff-aug vendors. Not Big 4. Not bodies for hire. Operators who think big and deliver fast. Since 2012, companies like Coinbase, Snowflake, and Peloton have trusted us to scale platforms, cut waste, and modernize delivery.
We are an AWS Advanced Tier co-sell partner, and our go-to-market is increasingly AWS-led. Our thesis is sharp: make AI actually run in production on AWS, not in a slide deck. That is the work this role delivers.
EverOps has always been 100% remote. Our culture was built for a distributed team to thrive, and this role can be based anywhere in the United States.
THE CHALLENGE
EverOps is looking for a Lead DevOps 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.
THE MISSION
As a Lead DevOps Engineer, you will join our U.S.-Based Virtual Operating Center and embed directly with a customer engineering team.
Your primary focus will be building and maturing the infrastructure engineering capability responsible for supporting customer deployments across AWS environments. You'll provide hands-on technical leadership in designing, provisioning, securing, and operating cloud infrastructure while establishing the processes, standards, and engineering practices needed to scale delivery.
You'll work closely with application engineers, security teams, networking teams, and customer stakeholders to ensure infrastructure is deployment-ready, operationally supportable, and aligned with AWS architectural and security best practices.
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…
