Director, DevOps Enablement

At Veracode, we make it our mission to secure the world’s software and keep our customers out of the headlines – at least for security issues. Our cloud-based SaaS platform is core to our success. We are at a pivotal point in the growth of our business and technology. For the first time we will deploy multiple instances of the platform, complementing the commercial SaaS instance with an instance for Federal customers and (later) instances in geographies that require data sovereignty.

 

We are hiring a Director of DevOps Enablement to enable this transition. In this role, you will manage Site Reliability and CD Pipelines, driving an evolution of our deployment and monitoring architecture. You will also manage software engineering for Platform as a Service components, used across all Veracode software products.

 

In addition, you will own deployment and operational management for the Federal SaaS instance. Where the Federal Instance differs from the mainline, you will manage code changes and certification.

 

This is a strategic role with responsibility for establishing and implementing technology direction while ensuring deployment effectiveness and operational quality. You will report to the VP of Engineering and work collaboratively with Architecture, Product Managers, User Experience and Engineering leaders. This is an exceptionally smart, fun, and energetic team, who love working for Veracode, as well as working with each other.
