About Devin Leibert

I build things that don’t break — and teams that know what to do when they do.Over the past 15 years, I’ve led SRE, platform engineering, and cloud infrastructure teams at enterprise scale across healthcare, financial services, and e-commerce. My work sits at the intersection of technical depth and business impact: I’m as comfortable in a Terraform module or a Kubernetes cluster as I am in a budget review or a boardroom conversation.A few things I’ve done that I’m proud of: Built SRE practices from scratch — twice. At Centene and FedEx, I came in when there was no practice, no process, and no playbook. I built the team, the tooling, the on-call culture, and the SLO frameworks from the ground up. Led major cloud migrations. Moved 300+ microservices from on-prem Kubernetes to AWS EKS at Centene. Led a full cloud-to-cloud migration from AWS to Azure at FedEx. Both on time, both with measurable reliability improvements on the other side. Drove real operational outcomes. Reduced deployment pipeline incidents by 90%+. Cut MTTR by 75% within 30 days at FedEx. Reduced Sev3 incidents by 25% through structured RCA programs. These aren’t vanity metrics — they represent systems that stopped waking people up at 2am. Built and scaled high-performing teams. Hired 12 FTEs and 25+ contractors at Centene, three months ahead of schedule. Managed globally distributed teams across time zones. Scored 100% on anonymous People Leader Effectiveness surveys. I take the human side of engineering leadership as seriously as the technical side. Managed complexity at scale.$1.5M+ resource budgets. Cross-functional stakeholder alignment. Change management across enterprise organizations. I know how to get things done in large, matrixed environments without losing momentum.My technical toolkit: AWS EKS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab Actions, Dynatrace, PagerDuty, Splunk, ServiceNow, and a deep appreciation for observability done right.I hold an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh, a PMP, and certifications including AWS Cloud Practitioner, CISA, and Six Sigma Green Belt.Currently open to remote Senior Manager or Director roles in SRE, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure — particularly in healthcare, fintech, or regulated industries where reliability isn’t optional.If you’re building something that needs to be reliable at scale, let’s talk. d••••••••@gmail.com
