DevOps Team Leader

Who We Are:

The 4M story is likely one you haven’t heard before: We are on a mission to unlock access to the world below us, to do for the world below ground what Google Maps did for the world above. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we are mapping the subsurface infrastructure to make reliable, real-time utility data accessible to the construction industry - completely transforming a traditional industry. We’re a growing startup with 100 employees currently based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and Austin, Texas.

The Opportunity 

We're looking for an experienced DevOps Team Lead to join our R&D leadership team. You’ll lead and grow a team of DevOps engineers and own key parts of our stack - including Cloud Infrastructure, CI/CD, Observability, FinOps, and DevSecOps.

This is a leadership and hands-on role reporting to the VP of R&D. You’ll lead by example, actively contributing to your team’s deliverables, and work closely with other R&D leaders to shape our systems and standards as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Lead and support a skilled DevOps team.
• Take ownership of our AWS-based infrastructure: uptime, resilience, performance.
• Improve and maintain our CI/CD pipelines for smooth, safe, and fast delivery.
• Oversee our monitoring, alerting, and logging systems to keep production healthy.
• Own our FinOps efforts - make sure we scale cost-effectively and with visibility.
• Lead DevSecOps practices including security infra, identity, access, pipelines, and more.
• Be a partner to the various R&D teams (Data, Application, Algorithms), helping them build and scale with confidence.
• Shape and scale the function, team, tools, and practices as the company grows.

• 5+ years in DevOps roles, with at least 1–2 years in a leading capacity.
• Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure and IaC tools.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines.
• Deep understanding of observability (monitoring, logging, incident response).
• Familiarity with cloud security fundamentals.
• Familiarity with cloud cost visibility and resource optimization.
• Excellent communication skills.

Startup-ready: pusher, self-directed, adaptable, gets things done.
