About the role

Keep Fraud Fighters Fast, Safe and Always On

Our platform helps stop financial crime for leading banks and financial services businesses around the world. Behind it sits infrastructure that has to be secure, scalable and dependable. As our DevOps Engineer, you'll own it.

Using your deep AWS and CI/CD expertise, you'll automate what can be automated, strengthen what needs strengthening, and make sure we scale securely as our customer base grows.

What you'll be doing

• Run the platform: Design, build and manage a secure, highly available SaaS platform on AWS, owning the infrastructure lifecycle end to end.

• Ship with confidence: Build and refine Azure DevOps pipelines that take code from commit to production reliably.

• Code your infrastructure: Use CloudFormation or Terraform to create consistent, repeatable environments.

• Lead with security: Champion a security-first mindset using tools like Security Hub, Inspector and Patch Manager, in line with standards such as CIS and OWASP.

• See problems early: Build monitoring, alerting and logging (CloudWatch, OpenSearch) that catches issues before customers do.

• Scale smartly: Find bottlenecks, tune performance and keep costs in check as we grow.

• Plan for the unexpected: Develop and test backup and disaster recovery strategies that keep us resilient.

What you'll bring to the role

• 5+ years in a DevOps or similar role

• Experience running a commercial SaaS platform in a secure, scalable, multi-tenant AWS environment (essential)

• Deep, hands-on AWS knowledge, including VPC, IAM and CloudFormation

• Strong experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines, ideally in Azure DevOps

• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as CloudFormation or Terraform

• Solid scripting and automation skills (e.g. Bash)

• Experience with monitoring and logging tools such as OpenSearch

• Strong grounding in networking, system administration and security principles, including frameworks like CIS Benchmarks or OWASP

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience

• Sharp problem-solving skills, an ownership mindset, and the ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, agile team

Nice to have

• AWS Certified DevOps Engineer (or similar certifications)

• Experience with containers and orchestration (e.g. Docker)
