About the Role:

We're looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of experience, who takes full technical ownership of our cloud infrastructure and developer platform. You'll be hands-on — writing code, designing systems, and solving hard infrastructure problems directly.

You'll own Novo's cloud infrastructure end-to-end, drive architecture decisions, and use AI tooling to reduce toil and speed up delivery.
