Lead DevOps Engineer London

Lead DevEx Engineer - Cloud Platform Team

We are a growth-stage fintech building an embedded finance platform that enables partners worldwide to offer innovative funding products to small-business customers. Our teams operate across London, Nottingham, Atlanta, Stockholm, Munich and Mumbai, focusing on autonomy, ownership and impact.

About the Role

As a Lead DevEx Engineer you will improve how our engineers build, ship and operate services. This brand-new role bridges application development and platform engineering, creating a consistent, scalable developer experience as we evolve our platform strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the service template library for .NET, Node.js and Python - covering project scaffolding, dependency management, containerisation, local development setup and production configuration.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates in GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps, ensuring consistency across stacks and reusability across teams.
• Define and ship observability standards: structured logging, distributed tracing and alerting integrated into service templates so every new service is production-ready from day one.
• Build the platform-level observability layer using Datadog, incident.io, and/or GCP/Azure native logging and monitoring tooling.
• Contribute to an Azure-to-GCP migration strategy - assessing changes to developer tooling and service templates and building proof-of-concept work.
• Partner with product engineers to diagnose developer experience pain points and implement lasting solutions.
• Lead technical decisions on platform tooling: evaluate new tools, write ADRs and drive adoption across engineering teams.
• Mentor and support Cloud Platform team engineers and serve as a go-to resource for product engineers working with platform tooling.

Interview Process

• Screening call with Internal Recruiter (30 minutes)
• Video interview with Hiring Manager (45 minutes)
• In-person code-pairing interview with an Engineering team member (1 hour)
• Video interview with the wider Liberis team (1 hour)

Required Qualifications

• Proficient in at least one of .NET (C#), Node.js, or Python - able to build, configure, and template production-grade services.
• Strong GCP experience (Azure experience is desirable).
• Hands-on experience designing reusable CI/CD pipeline templates in GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Comfortable with containerisation (Docker) and deployment on Kubernetes or Cloud Run.
• Observability experience with Datadog, incident.io, or cloud-native logging and monitoring (GCP Cloud Operations or Azure Monitor).
• Infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform.
• Track record of driving adoption - building tools that engineers use, writing documentation that is read.

Team members are required to be in the office at least three days a week, but we also value flexibility and encourage collaboration and efficient workflow.
