DevOps Engineer

Job Description

Our client (still in stealth) is building the infrastructure powering the future of post‑trading in Europe. Their mission is to simplify and optimize clearing, settlement, and custody across fragmented European markets with a unified, API‑first, ledger‑based platform delivering low‑cost, high‑efficiency post‑trade services to retail and institutional clients.

Location

London (preferred) or remote — within EMEA time zones

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud‑native infrastructure (primarily AWS) supporting distributed systems and APIs
• Manage and optimize CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable delivery across environments
• Partner with engineers supporting microservices architecture (high availability + low latency focus)
• Monitor performance, run root‑cause analysis, and implement observability best practices (metrics, logging, tracing)
• Harden infra and deployments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation)
• Lead incident response, reliability efforts, and scalability initiatives
• Manage messaging queues and event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ) with a focus on throughput and low‑latency handling
• Improve security controls (secrets management, access controls, audit logging)

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years experience in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure roles
• Strong proficiency with AWS, Linux, and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Deep understanding of CI/CD best practices (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
• Experience with messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Kafka) and event‑driven architectures
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills (Terraform preferred)
• Familiarity with monitoring/observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and system tuning
• Security‑conscious mindset; experience in regulated/financial environments is a plus
• Strong problem‑solving ability, proactive attitude, and excellent communication/teamwork

Nice to have

• Fintech / post‑trade / exchange infrastructure experience
• Exposure to ledger‑based systems or distributed data models
• Experience with ISO 27001 and/or FCA‑regulated environments

Why This Role

• Competitive salary and equity
• Join a small, fast‑moving, VC‑backed team with deep industry expertise
• Flexible hours and remote options
• Visible impact from day one
• Collaborative and inclusive culture
