We are looking for a Director of DevOps & Security to lead the evolution of a scalable, secure, and developer-focused platform in American Fork, Utah. This role is ideal for a hands-on technology leader who thrives in SaaS environments, balances speed with stability, and helps teams deliver software efficiently without unnecessary complexity. You will shape cloud and platform strategy, strengthen operational reliability, and foster close collaboration across engineering, quality, and operations. Responsibilities: • Lead the design and continuous improvement of an internal platform that gives development teams reliable self-service tools and streamlined workflows. • Guide deployment practices and environment management to shorten release cycles and remove obstacles that slow delivery. • Define infrastructure and cloud direction with a focus on scalability, resilience, and responsible cost management. • Establish practical CI/CD automation that supports frequent, low-risk releases across a growing SaaS ecosystem. • Build observability practices through monitoring, alerting, and operational insights that improve system performance and incident response. • Partner across development, QA, and operations to create aligned processes and shared accountability for product delivery. • Embed security into engineering workflows through pragmatic DevSecOps practices that reduce risk without disrupting momentum. • Mentor teams and influence technical decisions by staying close to implementation details and helping unblock execution when needed.

• 10+ years of experience across engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, or related technical leadership roles. • Proven success working within SaaS environments, including support for scalable and highly available platforms. • Strong background with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or comparable cloud infrastructure technologies. • Hands-on experience with modern DevOps tooling such as containers, orchestration platforms, CI/CD systems, and infrastructure as code solutions. • Demonstrated knowledge of cybersecurity principles and the ability to integrate security into platform and delivery practices. • Experience in startup or high-growth organizations where speed, adaptability, and practical decision-making are essential. • Ability to evaluate technical tradeoffs, avoid overengineering, and implement solutions that match business and product needs. • Strong leadership and collaboration skills, with the ability to coach teams and drive alignment across technical functions.
