These systems manage the entire payment lifecycle, from initiation to execution, covering all inbound and outbound cash flows across multiple currencies, spanning multiple electronic payment networks and platforms globally. Governing these critical flows is not a responsibility we take lightly. To meet changing business needs and to keep our stack updated with the latest technologies and trends, we are in the process of modernising our stack, rebuilding features on the Cloud and making them API-based. We are therefore looking for a DevOps Engineer to serve as a technical anchor for the Payments Engineering team. The DevOps Engineer will be responsible for bridging the gap between software development and systems operations, ensuring high availability, security and scalability. The engineer will be hands-on, working in a pod (a specialised cross-functional team) and helping developers. The role extends into technical consulting and architectural oversight, capacity management, liaising between support teams and the internal cloud engineering team, and ensuring we adhere to the standards set by them. You will be the go-to expert for complex troubleshooting and operational decisions. Responsibilities: * Build and manage AWS platform infrastructure and manage application deployments across environments * Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform or CloudFormation for VPCs, EC2, RDS, Lambda, and ECS/EKS * Design and manage CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security scanning (SAST/DAST) and zero-downtime deployments * Manage production-grade containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes on Amazon ECS/EKS * Set up monitoring dashboards, automated alerts, and logging for system health, latency, and error tracking * Automate operational tasks using Python, Go, or Bash to reduce manual effort * Collaborate with development teams to ensure reliable software delivery and mentor junior engineers * Stay current with emerging DevOps trends, tools and best practices ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Modular Secrets to Lightning-Fast Android Builds](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1428-modular-secrets-to-lightning-fast-android-builds) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
