What this job asks for AI summary
A senior, hands-on DevOps/infrastructure engineering role responsible for building, operating, and optimizing systems that support engineering teams across the organization. The work centers on containerized deployments, cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS with some Azure and OVH), CI/CD pipelines, and automation tooling. The role carries an explicit path toward becoming a working manager of the DevOps team, so mentorship and leadership interest are part of the expectation.

Why we read it this way (4)
No work location or metro area is stated in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The posting appears to be staffed through Insight Global (a staffing firm), so the actual employer and location are not disclosed.
The role is described as 'primarily AWS (80%) and Azure (20%) and OVH (20%)' — the percentages sum to 140%, which is likely a formatting error in the original posting. All three cloud platforms are listed together in the same requirements bullet, so AWS and Azure are marked required; OVH is marked preferred given its lower implied weight and the arithmetic inconsistency.
The posting explicitly frames this as a path to a working manager role and requires some prior mentorship/leadership experience, but the day-to-day work described is still hands-on engineering, so the role is classified as an individual-contributor Senior rather than a management role.
SOC classification carries medium confidence: the role involves both building automation/IaC (pointing to Software Developers 15-1252) and operating/maintaining infrastructure (pointing to Network and Systems Admins 15-1244). The emphasis on CI/CD, Terraform, and Ansible automation tips the balance toward 15-1252.
