We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Senior DevOps Engineer 

Location: Remote 
Employment Type: Full-time 

The Role

• This is a hands-on senior role. You will design and operate cloud infrastructure, build and improve deployment pipelines, drive observability and reliability, and help shape engineering culture around infrastructure best practices.
• You will work closely with software engineers, product and security teams — and mentor more junior members of the team.

What You Will Do

• Design, build and maintain scalable, highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines — enabling fast, safe and automated deployments across all environments
• Lead the adoption and maintenance of Infrastructure-as-Code across the engineering organisation
• Drive observability — metrics, logging, alerting and dashboards — so the team has full visibility into system health
• Define and enforce cloud security best practices: identity and access management, network segmentation, secrets management and encryption
• Own incident response for infrastructure issues — lead diagnosis, resolution and post-mortems
• Manage capacity planning and cost optimisation across cloud resources
• Collaborate with software engineers to improve deployment architecture, containerisation and service reliability
• Champion and maintain disaster recovery and backup strategies; ensure restore capability is regularly tested
• Contribute to security and compliance requirements — the team operates in a regulated fintech environment
• Write clear documentation, runbooks and operational procedures
• Mentor junior engineers and raise the infrastructure engineering bar across the team

What We Are Looking For
Essential:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE or cloud infrastructure engineering
• Strong, hands-on AWS experience — EC2, ECS or EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch
• Solid Infrastructure-as-Code experience — Terraform strongly preferred
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or equivalent)
• Strong container experience: Docker and either ECS or Kubernetes in production
• Good understanding of cloud security: IAM least-privilege, network controls, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit
• Experience with observability tooling — metrics, logging, tracing and alerting at scale
• Scripting ability in Python, Bash or similar
• Strong communication skills — comfortable in cross-functional discussions and able to document decisions clearly

Desirable:

• Experience working in fintech, payments or other regulated industries
• Familiarity with security or compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2)
• AWS certifications — Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Professional or Security Specialty
• Experience with database operations at scale — RDS/Aurora tuning, replication, failover
• Exposure to cost optimisation and FinOps practices on AWS.
