This role is critical to 3E's mission of delivering trusted, compliant solutions globally.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by reviewing your team's progress on infrastructure projects, then lead a stand-up to prioritize security and deployment tasks.

You'll end the day by mentoring a junior engineer on CI/CD best practices.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing only on technical skills without connecting them to business impact or mission alignment.
  • Underestimating the importance of compliance and security in the EHS context—avoid treating it as generic DevOps.
  • Neglecting to mention leadership experience or team management, as this is a team lead role.
