Heads-up
Requirements and responsibilities
DevOps Tech Lead (LATAM, Remote).
OpsLogic is a cloud infrastructure and DevOps consulting firm. We embed senior engineers directly into client engineering teams on a retainer basis. Our clients are US-based startups and mid-market companies. We manage their cloud platforms so their product teams can focus on building.
We are looking for a senior DevOps engineer who can also lead. Not a manager who drifted out of the technical work — someone who still writes Terraform and reviews pipelines, but who can also run a standup, track delivery across multiple engineers, and keep a client informed.
This is a subcontractor role. Remote, full-time hours, long-term engagement.
What you will be doing:
On any given week, you will be doing both of these things:
Hands-on technical work:
- Building and maintaining infrastructure on AWS (ECS, EKS, RDS, VPC, WAF, ECR).
- Writing Terraform for infrastructure changes.
- Managing Kubernetes deployments with Helm.
- Maintaining and improving CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
- Debugging production issues alongside the team.
Coordination and delivery:
- Joining client meetings and async check-ins across a team of 3-5 engineers.
- Tracking what is in flight, what is blocked, and what needs attention.
- Communicating status to the client directly in Slack — concise, forward-moving updates.
- Surfacing risks and blockers before they become problems.
- Keeping delivery on track without needing to escalate everything.
The engineers you will be coordinating with are senior. They know their work. Your job is not to manage them — it is to hold the thread and make sure things do not fall through the cracks.
What we need:
Hard requirements:
- Eastern Time hours. You need to be available during US East Coast business hours. This is a firm requirement.
- Fluent English. Written and verbal. You will be communicating directly with US clients in Slack and on video calls. This is a hard filter.
- Senior DevOps depth. At least 6-8 years of hands-on infrastructure work. You can operate independently on complex problems. You do not need someone to walk you through it.
- AWS proficiency. Core services in active use: ECS, EKS, EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, WAF. You know your way around all of them.
- Terraform. Infrastructure as code is how we work. Comfort writing and reviewing Terraform is required.
- Kubernetes. Cluster operations, Helm chart deployments, day-two operations.
- CI/CD. Jenkins is in active use. GitHub Actions experience is a strong plus.
Coordination requirements:
- Experience managing or leading a small engineering team, even informally as a tech lead.
- Async-first communication style. We run on written communication, not meetings.
- Comfortable as the point of contact between engineers and a client — you can translate technical status into something a non-engineer understands without dumbing it down.
Nice to have:
- Platform engineering exposure: ephemeral dev environments, developer tooling, internal platforms.
- OpenSearch, PgBouncer, or JumpCloud experience.
- WAF configuration and security hardening.
- Experience in a consulting or agency model (you have worked across more than one client account).
What this engagement looks like:
- Type: Subcontractor. No employment. Monthly retainer.
- Hours: Full-time equivalent (40 hrs/week) during ET business hours.
- Location: Fully remote. LATAM strongly preferred.
- Communication: Slack-first, async by default. Standups are short and to the point.
- Team: You will be embedded with a team of senior DevOps engineers. Small, experienced group. No juniors to babysit.
- Duration: Long-term. We do not do short projects. If it is a good fit, this runs for years.
