At Camplight, we support multiple partner platforms and internal initiatives across different FIT leads, including R&D and long-running production systems. As Director, DevOps, you’ll operate at a platform-wide level, helping define how infrastructure, CI/CD, and operational excellence are delivered across teams and technologies.

Your Role

Your role will focus on technical leadership and direction.

• Provide technical leadership across DevOps and platform engineering

• Lead incident response at a strategic level and guide post-incident improvements
• Act as a trusted advisor to engineers, managers, and partners
• Help scale DevOps practices as platforms and teams grow

Directors may focus on specific platform areas (e.g. cloud infrastructure, developer experience, reliability), while contributing to the overall DevOps strategy.
