Pie Insurance is an insurtech company tackling meaningful problems. At Pie, we work with small businesses using technology and innovation to improve how they access insurance. Like our small business clients, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs. So, at the heart of every decision we make is the idea that if it doesn’t serve our clients, it doesn’t serve us. You will be responsible for maintaining, designing, and automating our DevOps processes. This position works on deliverables directly, while also managing a team of DevOps Engineers. The DevOps Engineering Manager provides knowledge, guidance and resources to ensure on time delivery of products. Today, all Pie-oneers are working remotely and will continue to do so until it is safe to return to the office. As a remote team member, you will be expected to be available for meetings with team members in other time zones and have access to reliable, high-speed internet. In this role, you will report to the Director, Platform Engineering within our Engineering team based in Denver or Washington, DC. This role will work in our Denver or DC office once our office re-opens. However, we will consider this role for continued remote work once our offices reopen with up to 15% travel to Denver or Washington, DC.
