Requirements

  • 3 - 5 + years managing cloud infrastructure in production AWS environments

  • Strong, hands-on Terraform - you can read, write, and debug it in real time

  • Solid Kubernetes experience; EKS is a significant plus

  • Experience connecting full systems end-to-end: load balancers, networking, databases, frontend/backend services

  • DevOps-leaning builder mindset - you build platforms, not just maintain them

  • High ownership orientation and comfort operating in evolving, fast-moving environments

  • Fintech or financial services background helpful but not required

  • If no Fintech or financial services, MUST come from a highly regulated industry (healthcare etc.)

Benefits & conditions

Our client is heavily regulated, so healthcare or trading infrastructure experience is mandatory. Infrastructure is high-stakes, real-time trading operations - reliability and security are non-negotiable.
