Manager Devops Relocation Jobs (NOW HIRING)

***This position requires a US Department of Defense or Intelligence TS/SCI clearance.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of DevOps and DevSecOps engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers.
• Establish DevOps standards, operational processes, and team priorities.
• Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, technical excellence, and customer focus.
• Coordinate work across customer deployments, platform operations, and internal infrastructure requirements.
• Drive operational rigor while maintaining a bias toward execution and delivery.

• In addition to DevOps will lead the Deployment Engineering team's execution of customer deployments, upgrades, sustainment activities, and operational support.
• Oversee operational readiness, deployment health, and reliability across Legion customer environments.
• Coordinate cross-functional activities required to support deployments, upgrades, incident response, and customer operations.
• Serve as a senior escalation point for complex deployment and operational issues.
• Drive continuous improvement in deployment efficiency, operational reliability, and customer experience.
• Coordinate deployment and operational dependencies across engineering, security, product, mission engineering, and customer stakeholders.
• Lead technical readiness reviews and establish operational standards that ensure deployed systems meet Legion's requirements for velocity, resiliency, and control.

• Guide the development of deployment standards, operational processes, and reference architectures across Legion environments.
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure new capabilities are deployable, supportable, and maintainable.
• Drive standardization and automation efforts that improve scalability and reduce operational burden.

• Lead the team responsible for deployment infrastructure, operational tooling, CI/CD systems, and platform support capabilities.
• Partner with Product and Platform Engineering teams to support product roadmap execution and operational requirements.

• Engage directly with customer technical teams during deployment planning, onboarding, and escalation activities.
• Support mission-critical deployments and operational troubleshooting when required.
• Build trusted relationships with customer technical stakeholders.
• Represent Legion during technical discussions involving deployment architecture, operational readiness, and platform sustainment.

• The Deployment Engineering team is responsible for operationalizing Legion's software across customer environments ranging from enterprise cloud deployments to disconnected and air-gapped tactical systems.
• The Deployment Engineering Manager leads this function, partnering closely with Product Engineering, Platform Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, and Customer Success teams to ensure Legion systems remain operationally effective throughout their lifecycle.
• The team's mission is to ensure Legion capabilities can be deployed, upgraded, sustained, and scaled reliably across cloud, on-premises, classified, air-gapped, and edge environments. Deployment Engineering serves as the bridge between product development and operational reality, translating platform capabilities into repeatable deployment patterns and operational processes in support of customer outcomes.
• Success means delivering resilient customer deployments, maintaining operational readiness across the deployment fleet, accelerating upgrade velocity, reducing deployment and sustainment burden through automation, and enabling product teams to deliver capabilities that can be operated reliably in real-world environments.

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps engineering, site reliability engineering, deployment engineering, or related disciplines.
• 2+ years of experience leading technical teams.
• Experience supporting U.S. Government defense or intelligence environments.
• Familiarity with RMF, STIGs, accreditation processes, and security hardening requirements.
• Strong experience operating and troubleshooting Kubernetes-based production environments.
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Experience operating customer-facing production systems.
• Strong Linux systems administration and networking experience.
• Experience managing operational incidents and production outages.
• Ability to lead technical execution while remaining hands-on.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with customer technical stakeholders.

• Experience supporting AI, machine learning, or data-intensive software platforms.
• Experience delivering software to disconnected tactical edge environments.

• Legion deployments are resilient, predictable, and operationally ready.
• Customer environments remain healthy across cloud, classified, air-gapped, and edge deployments.
• Software upgrades are delivered rapidly and consistently across the deployment fleet.
• Deployment timelines and support burden decrease through automation and standardization.
• Customer outages are minimized and resolved quickly when they occur.
• Product teams move faster because deployment infrastructure is dependable and scalable.
• New platform capabilities can be operationalized rapidly without creating long-term sustainment burden.
• Legion scales operational deployments without proportional growth in deployment engineering headcount.
• Customers trust Legion to operate in environments where connectivity is unavailable, degraded, intermittent, or operationally risky.
