If you thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy settings and want your fingerprints on the foundation of a fast-moving fintech, this is the opportunity., * Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS, using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles throughout

 * Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines to support rapid, reliable software delivery across multiple teams
 * Lead container orchestration using Kubernetes, ensuring deployment strategies are resilient and operationally sound
 * Drive security and compliance best practices across the infrastructure, supporting the company's obligations in a regulated financial environment
 * Build and maintain observability, monitoring, and alerting stacks so the team has clear visibility into platform health at all times
 * Identify and eliminate manual processes through automation, reducing toil and freeing up engineering capacity
 * Collaborate closely with software engineers to embed DevOps culture, providing tooling, guidance, and support across squads
 * Contribute to incident response and post-incident reviews, helping the team learn and improve continuously
