Job Description

Team overview

Payment processing has recently become one of the key areas of focus for the financial services and fintech industry. It is at the centre of innovation for automating and streamlining flows to meet the needs of a variety of clients across the globe.

Our Payments Engineering team builds and supports systems that provide a comprehensive payment solution for the firm across institutional, consumer and internal clients. These systems manage the entire payment lifecycle, from initiation to execution, covering all inbound and outbound cash flows across multiple currencies, spanning multiple electronic payment networks and platforms globally.

Governing these critical flows is not a responsibility we take lightly. To meet changing business needs and to keep our stack updated with the latest technologies and trends, we are in the process of modernising our stack, rebuilding features on the Cloud and making them API-based. We are therefore looking for a DevOps Engineer to serve as a technical anchor for the Payments Engineering team.

The DevOps Engineer will be responsible for bridging the gap between software development and systems operations, ensuring high availability, security and scalability. The engineer will be hands-on, working in a pod (a specialised cross-functional team) and helping developers. The role extends into technical consulting and architectural oversight, capacity management, liaising between support teams and the internal cloud engineering team, and ensuring we adhere to the standards set by them. You will be the go-to expert for complex troubleshooting and operational decisions.

• Manage production-grade containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes on Amazon ECS/EKS
• Set up monitoring dashboards, automated alerts, and logging for system health, latency, and error tracking
• Automate operational tasks using Python, Go, or Bash to reduce manual effort
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure reliable software delivery and mentor junior engineers
• Stay current with emerging DevOps trends, tools and best practices

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of DevOps experience with focus on AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS, IAM, CloudWatch)
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or AWS Code Pipeline)
• Knowledge of IaC tools (Terraform or CloudFormation) and scripting (Python, Bash)
• Basic understanding of Java, Maven, and Gradle build systems for supporting JVM-based application pipelines
• Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes and monitoring/logging tools (CloudWatch, ELK Stack)
• General knowledge of networking, security and cloud system administration
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and deliver results within defined timelines
• AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional is highly preferred
• Experience with zero-downtime deployment strategies (Blue/Green, Canary)
• Security scanning integration (SAST/DAST) in CI/CD pipelines
• Production Kubernetes operations on ECS or EKS
• Understanding of microservices architecture and serverless computing
• Experience supporting multi-module Gradle or Maven projects in CI/CD pipelines
• Additional AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Associate, Cloud Practitioner)
• Basic experience with performance tuning and cost optimization in AWS.
• Strong communication, documentation, and mentoring skills
