DevOps Lead

Region: LATAM and/or EMEA

Country: Poland, Croatia, Costa Rica, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Portugal

Type: Fully remote

What's the Project?

Newfire Global Partners is a leading technology firm that specializes in building transformative software solutions for some of the world’s most innovative companies. With a presence across four continents, Newfire Global brings deep expertise in digital healthcare, AI-driven analytics, and enterprise technology. The firm’s track record of delivering scalable, high-impact solutions has made it a trusted partner for organizations seeking to drive meaningful change through technology.

We are passionate about the purpose-driven mission to help improve the quality of care for patients and are building a collaborative, innovative, and inclusive culture. We are a fully funded company founded by serial entrepreneurs with a stable client base.

Opportunity for impact

Our client is a healthcare data analytics company that uses rigorous comparative effectiveness research to help employers and plan sponsors improve the value of their pharmacy benefits. By analyzing pharmacy claims and clinical evidence, they identify which medications deliver the best clinical outcomes at the lowest cost and translate those insights into actionable coverage and formulary strategies.

The company is currently executing a phased rebuild of its Member Portal, migrating from Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure, and undergoing a data transformation, going from ad-hoc reports to a modern data strategy. As multiple engineering, data, and DevOps workstreams scale, strong DevOps leadership is required to ensure the platform remains secure, scalable, and operationally mature.

The Role

We are seeking a Fractional DevOps Technical Lead to provide part-time technical leadership and hands-on guidance across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, security, and platform reliability.

This is not a ticket-driven operations role. Instead, this person will serve as the DevOps authority and architectural guide, ensuring best practices are established early and followed consistently as the system grows.

You will collaborate closely with engineering leads, architects, and delivery leadership to define and evolve the DevOps strategy, while also supporting key implementation decisions when needed. You will own the DevOps roadmap and will work with C-level leadership to define the priorities to deliver the secure, scalable, robust, and cost-effective platform necessary to run the business.

You’re a perfect match if you have:

8+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering
2+ years leading a DevOps team and owning the roadmap and priorities
Strong communication skills and the ability to provide technical leadership without direct authority
Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, including core services such as App Services, networking, identity, and monitoring
Experience supporting .NET and React-based applications in cloud environments
Experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines for modern application stacks
Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or similar)
Experience building and operating systems that use automated testing and feature-flag-driven releases
Solid understanding of cloud security best practices, including secrets management, identity, and access controls
Able to explain the 'why' behind technical decisions, not just the 'how'
Experience with containerization (Docker) and modern deployment strategies
Ability to define environment strategies (dev/test/stage/prod) and release workflows
Experience working in cross-functional Agile teams and guiding engineers on DevOps best practices
Experience mentoring engineers and establishing DevOps standards across teams

Nice to Have
Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, DataDog, etc.)
Experience implementing scalability and reliability strategies for customer-facing platforms
Experience in healthcare or HIPAA-compliant environments
Background in site reliability engineering (SRE) practices

Please note that employment will be contingent upon providing documentation verifying your legal work authorization in the country of residence, in accordance with applicable law.

Your day-to-day activities:

Define and evolve the DevOps architecture and cloud strategy for the TDRx platform
Provide technical leadership on CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and deployment strategies
Establish and guide best practices for security, access control, and secrets management
Support engineering teams in improving build, release, and environment reliability
Ensure infrastructure is scalable, observable, and maintainable
Advise on and review infrastructure-as-code implementations
Help teams troubleshoot complex environment or deployment issues
Participate in key technical discussions and architecture decisions
Engagement Expectations
Part-time role (approximately 50% allocation)
Participation in recurring engineering coordination and planning meetings
Availability to support architecture discussions and critical delivery milestones
