Job description

We are seeking an authoritative DevOps Architect to define the strategic blueprint, governance, and automation frameworks within a highly regulated financial ecosystem. In this principal role, you will act as the ultimate Subject Matter Expert (SME) for modern DevOps methodologies, CI/CD pipeline design, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). You will bridge the gap between development and infrastructure, championing continuous integration and delivery practices to drastically accelerate enterprise-scale software deployments and operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain the enterprise DevOps blueprint. Establish rigorous architectural standards and implement robust governance processes for all continuous integration and continuous deployment initiatives.
• Architect highly scalable continuous build environments utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). Transform traditional software and infrastructure deployment processes into fully automated, seamless continuous pipelines.
• Serve as the domain SME for enterprise DevOps tooling (explicitly including GitHub Enterprise, HashiCorp Vault, Terraform, and Ansible). Evaluate, design, and integrate advanced process automation solutions to resolve operational bottlenecks.
• Champion DevOps adoption across the organization. Partner collaboratively with cross-functional technical teams and business stakeholders to streamline workflows and integrate industry-best DevOps practices into the broader IT operating model.
• Continuously evaluate the technology landscape (including Cloud, Distributed Ledger Technology/DLT, and emerging FinTech innovations) and provide expert strategic recommendations on integrating next-generation DevOps tools.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• A minimum of 10 years of robust IT infrastructure and engineering experience, with at least 5 years acting in a dedicated Architectural capacity. Background in a tier-1 financial institution is highly preferred.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in designing complex CI/CD pipelines and executing automation via tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Git, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Sonatype, Chef, and Puppet.
• Strong command of Linux/Unix system administration and advanced scripting capabilities utilizing Python, Golang, NodeJS, Ruby, or shell scripting.
• Solid understanding of modern cloud computing architectures; familiarity with FinTech initiatives and DLT is a distinct advantage.
• Fluency in written and spoken English and Cantonese is required; proficiency in Mandarin is a strong plus.
