Senior DevOps Engineer

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you'll play a key role in shaping our infrastructure and deployment. We need a proactive, automation-first engineer who treats infrastructure as a product, prioritising its scalability and maintainability while ensuring a great experience for our developers.

You'll have a unique opportunity to design and implement scalable CI/CD pipelines, automate our cloud infrastructure, and ensure the reliable delivery of our applications and system components. You'll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, and other teams to embed automation, observability, and operational excellence into every stage of our development lifecycle. From managing Kubernetes environments and infrastructure as code to improving monitoring and deployment efficiency, you will help build a platform that is robust, scalable, and easy to operate.

This is your chance to lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact in a rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.

• Automate provisioning, scaling, and configuring infrastructure.

• Maintain Kubernetes clusters to orchestrate workloads efficiently.

• Manage secrets, access control, and network policies across all environments.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable deployments.

• Standardise and automate build, test, and deployment workflows.

• Work with developers to improve deployment speed and rollback strategies.

• Ensure consistent delivery practices between staging and production environments.

• Set up and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to improve system visibility through metrics and tracing.

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or FluxCD.

• Solid understanding of monitoring, alerting, and logging systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar).

• Familiarity with Linux systems, scripting (e.g., Bash, Python), and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Helm).

Skills

• Solid experience with Amazon Web Services, including managing cloud infrastructure and services.

• Proficiency in deploying, managing, and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters.

•  Experience with GitOps practices using tools like FluxCD; strong knowledge of Helm charts and Kustomize for Kubernetes resource management.

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and Terragrunt for scalable and repeatable infrastructure.

• Good understanding and practical experience with Istio service mesh for traffic management, security, and observability.
