Bagira is a leader in the field of training and simulation systems with a track record of delivering high-end, customized, cost-effective solutions for mission readiness. Bagira’s simulators are being used by hundreds of thousands of soldiers at more than 80 sites worldwide.

Bagira is looking for a DevOps Lead to join our engineering team at Bagira.

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced technical leader with strong leadership qualities, a can-do attitude, and a passion for building secure, scalable cloud architectures. In this role, you will own the cloud architecture vision and execution, work closely with development teams to enable high-velocity delivery, and lead the DevOps team through mentoring, best practices, and hands-on technical leadership.

• Lead the end-to-end cloud architecture, design and implementation, with a strong focus on security, scalability, and reliability.
• Own and evolve the DevOps roadmap, tooling, and operating model across R&D.
• Partner with software architects and developers to design deployment patterns, service architecture, and production-grade infrastructure.
• Lead, mentor, and grow the DevOps team, set technical standards, conduct design reviews, and drive professional development.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and automation to improve quality and delivery speed.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management, ensuring environments are reproducible and auditable.
• Establish cloud security best practices, including IAM, secrets management, network segmentation, secure baselines, and continuous compliance.
• Design observability practices (monitoring, logging, alerting, tracing), define SLOs/SLAs, and improve incident response readiness.
• Optimize cloud cost and performance, including capacity planning, scaling strategies, and continuous efficiency improvements.
• Take part in hands-on execution when needed, especially in early-stage architecture and key infrastructure components.

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles, including at least 2 years leading a team or technical leadership of a DevOps function.
• Strong experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including networking, compute, storage, and managed services.
• Proven experience building secure and scalable architectures, including IAM, security controls, encryption, secrets management, and secure networking patterns.
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD (for example GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) and modern release practices.
• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and automation scripting (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm), including production operations and scaling.
• Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Datadog, Splunk, or similar) and incident management processes.
• Solid understanding of Linux, networking fundamentals, and troubleshooting complex production issues.
• Excellent communication skills, ability to collaborate across teams, and a practical leadership approach.
