With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.\nWe are looking for a Cloud Team Lead to lead the cloud and DevOps team that builds and operates the infrastructure behind TEGNA's content management and streaming platforms across Azure and AWS. Content management runs on Azure (C#/.NET Function Apps, Service Bus), streaming runs on AWS media services, and cloud-agnostic services run on Kubernetes - all Terraform-managed. Reporting to the Platform Engineering Manager, this is a hands-on technical leadership role: you lead a team of onshore and offshore cloud engineers, own the team's delivery and the reliability of the platform's infrastructure, and stay hands-on in the work. You partner closely with the Cloud Architect - who sets reference architectures and standards and holds production approval - to deliver well-architected infrastructure, and with the microservices pods on their infrastructure needs.\nResponsibilities:\nLead a distributed team of cloud/DevOps engineers (onshore and offshore), owning planning, delivery, quality, and day-to-day technical direction.\nRemain hands-on: contribute to Terraform/infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes workloads across Azure and AWS.\nOwn the reliability, performance, and operational excellence of the platform's infrastructure, including incident response and the on-call rotation.\nBreak infrastructure initiatives and epics into actionable, well-sequenced work, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health.\nPartner with the Cloud Architect to apply the standards, reference architectures, and guardrails they define, and with the dev pods to support their delivery.\nDrive engineering practices across the team: IaC standards, pipeline safety, observability, and security.\nMentor and grow engineers, and manage the throughput and quality of offshore contributors.\nRun an Agile/Scrum delivery cadence with disciplined source control.\nRequirements:\n7+ years in cloud, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, including 2+ years leading or mentoring a team.\nStrong hands-on experience with Terraform/infrastructure-as-code across Azure and/or AWS; multi-cloud experience is a strong plus.\nSolid experience with CI/CD, containers and Kubernetes, cloud networking, IAM/identity, observability, and security best practices.\nExperience operating production infrastructure and leading incident response.\nProven ability to lead distributed and offshore teams, keeping quality and velocity high across time zones.\nStrong communication skills across front-end, architecture, and microservice development teams.\nMedia, streaming, or high-traffic platform experience is a plus.\nWhy Join TEGNA?\nYou'll lead the team that keeps modern digital products running at real scale, in a genuinely multi-cloud Azure/AWS environment with a rich media and streaming footprint. This is an opportunity to shape both the reliability of the platform and the engineering culture of the team that powers content management and streaming delivery across all of TEGNA's media properties. We are investing heavily in AI-assisted development, modern cloud-native services, and flexible architecture patterns that let our teams innovate quickly while delivering high-quality, high-impact products.\nBenefits: \nTEGNA offers comprehensive benefits designed to safeguard the physical, mental and financial health of our employees and their families.
