We are seeking a Manager of Platform Operations to lead the reliability, operations, and infrastructure strategy for the Evoke platform. This role is responsible for overseeing platform stability, release management processes, and operational excellence across our SaaS environment.

This individual will lead a small but high-impact team responsible for platform reliability, DevOps practices, infrastructure optimization (performance and cost management), security compliance (SOC 2, GovRAMP, etc.), and large-scale data operations.

The role requires a balance of leadership and hands-on technical understanding, with a focus on building scalable systems, improving operational processes, and enabling engineering teams to deliver efficiently and reliably.

You will work closely with Engineering, Product, QA, and Delivery teams to ensure that the platform operates with high availability, strong performance, and alignment with compliance and customer expectations.

What You’ll Do

Team Leadership and Cross-Functional Coordination

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers and analysts across operations, DevOps, and data functions
• Collaborate with Product Engineering, QA, and Delivery teams to align priorities and execution
• Act as an escalation point for complex technical and operational issues
• Balance competing priorities across reliability, compliance, and delivery needs

Security and Compliance Management

• Partner with security resources to ensure compliance (SOC 2, GovRAMP, NIST 800-53, etc.), monitoring, and reporting obligations are met
• Ensure operational processes align with security and compliance standards
• Own security audits for the Evoke platform, including audit readiness and remediation efforts

Data Operations Oversight

• Oversee large-scale data migration and data operation efforts
• Ensure data integrity, performance, and validation processes are in place
• Partner with project teams to support customer implementations and data needs

We will consider qualified candidates for fully remote work (must reside in the U.S. only).
