Hire DevOps Engineer for Manufacturing
Senior, direct, no layers

A manufacturer does not lose customers in a strategy meeting. It loses them when the ERP goes down at peak, a release breaks something that worked, or nobody knows who is on call. Downtime is the costliest line on the sheet: a stopped line, a quality escape or a supplier delay ripples through every order behind it.

The work is pipelines first, observability second, and discipline always. Production runs, planned shutdowns and supplier lead times set the calendar, with quality audits arriving on their own schedule. Reliability is built in quiet weeks so it holds in loud ones.

You get a single owner for operations: pipelines, uptime and releases for the ERP and the MES, with incidents handled by runbook rather than improvisation. Book a free discovery call to talk through the system that worries you most.

Tooling is rarely the whole answer — ERP, manufacturing execution systems, quality management and product lifecycle tools. already cover the pieces. What is missing is the operating discipline joining them: one pipeline, one source of truth for infrastructure, one alerting standard.

No rip-and-replace. Pipelines and monitoring are built around the existing estate, changes go through review, and the team gains dashboards they can read without an operations background.

Start with one system, not the whole estate. The mes works well as a first test: a pipeline, monitoring that pages correctly, and a restore actually practised.

Lines running to plan, quality escapes caught before shipping, and orders promised against capacity that actually exists. On the systems side, that shows up as quieter peaks: releases during busy periods instead of freezes, incidents measured in minutes, and a team that trusts its own deploys.

What lasts is the operating habit: every change through the pipeline, every environment from code, every incident written up and fed back into monitoring. Browse all hire engagements or discuss your systems directly.
