Job Description
Lead the global DevOps function and strategy for JD Power as Sr. Director, DevOps & AppSec. Managing a high-performance team for cloud infrastructure and developer experience.
Responsibilities:
- Set and execute the DevOps and platform engineering strategy across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, secrets, and developer self-service.
- Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing team of DevOps engineers — including hiring, leveling, performance management, and succession planning.
- Operate as a player-coach: stay close to the technical work, contribute to architecture and code reviews, and step into incidents when needed.
- Partner with Security, Data, Product Engineering, and Architecture to embed security and compliance into the SDLC (DevSecOps).
- Own the cloud cost (FinOps) posture for the platforms under your scope and drive continuous, measurable improvement.
- Make and defend build-vs-buy decisions across the DevOps tooling stack; manage key vendor relationships.
- Be a thoughtful integrator of AI into engineering workflows where it produces real leverage.
Requirements:
- 12+ years in software engineering, infrastructure, or DevOps, with 8+ years in management and time leading distributed or global teams.
- Track record of building and operating modern cloud platforms at scale — AWS strongly preferred; multi-cloud or hybrid experience a plus.
- Deep, current technical fluency in CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent), container orchestration (Kubernetes or equivalent), observability, and secrets management.
- Strong DevSecOps instincts — you’ve shipped real security improvements without grinding engineering velocity to a halt.
- Experience owning compliance work end-to-end (SOC 2, PCI, GDPR, HIPAA, or similar) in partnership with Security and Audit.
- Demonstrated ability to design for leverage: lean teams, self-service platforms, and clear demand management with the orgs you support.
- Nice to Have: Experience in a data, analytics, or insights business. Prior experience scaling a DevOps team from single digits into the 15–30 range.
Benefits:
- JD Power is committed to employing a diverse workforce. Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, or disability.
