Role Description We’re looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who wants to shape how a serious EdTech platform is built and run. EP serves over 1.4 million students and 2,500+ schools across AU, NZ, and Canada with a scalable, distributed platform on AWS, deploying continuously to production. You’ll own reliability, security, and operability of the platform, set technical standards across the engineering org, and embed AI throughout the DevOps and security workflow. No direct reports, your leverage comes from the systems you build, the standards you set, and the engineers you coach. On the technical side, you’ll operate EP’s AWS cloud infrastructure, run and improve GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, build observability and incident response capability, and develop self-service tooling and reusable infrastructure patterns. You’ll design and enforce security controls to support compliance with ISO 27001 and GDPR, and embed AI across the DevOps and security workflow, from automated code analysis to policy enforcement and observability. At EP, you’ll work on projects that have a real impact on students’ lives, with the freedom, support, and resources to develop your skills and grow your career.
