DevOps Lead

The Impact You'll Make

You will shape the future of software development at Danfoss Drives by defining the technical direction for a platform used by more than 500 developers. Your work will directly improve how embedded software is built, tested, and released-at scale.

In this role, you will connect DevOps, data, and AI to create an intelligent development ecosystem. You will enable faster delivery, better quality, and smarter automation through a modern data platform and AI-ready semantic layer.

This is a hands-on senior technical role, where you influence through expertise, mentorship, and strong engineering standards-playing a key role in transforming a large-scale development platform for the future.

Based in a hybrid setup in Graasten, Vaasa, Kolding, or Tampere, you will collaborate closely with distributed engineering teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Set technical direction and standards for DevOps services to improve engineering quality and platform consistency
• Build and evolve a data platform and semantic layer to make engineering data accessible and usable for AI-driven insights and automation
• Optimize cloud-based development infrastructure to ensure scalability, reliability, security, and cost efficiency
• Design and improve CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code to increase speed, stability, and developer productivity
• Mentor engineers and collaborate across teams to strengthen technical capabilities and drive platform adoption

What We're Looking For

• Educational background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, combined with proven experience leading DevOps or platform engineering initiatives in large-scale, complex environments
• Strong coding and scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell, plus one general-purpose language such as Go, Rust, or C#)
• Hands-on experience with private and public and cloud platforms (HPE-GLPC, Azure, GCP), CI/CD platforms (ADO,Gitlab, Github) and containerized workloads, Agentic AI harnesses (Github Copilot SDK et. al.) and Lakehouse platforms (Databricks, Spark,,)
• Ability to design and evolve scalable architectures and work with distributed systems and multiple integrated platforms
• Strong communication and technical guidance skills, with the ability to mentor and influence without formal people management responsibilities

What You'll Get from Us

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
• We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
• You’ll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about-we think they’re pretty great.
