Platform Engineers with strong knowledge around Azure and Kubernetes are wanted to become a big part of the systems team within a well known FinTech company.

You’ll be involved in re-writing a complex and successful SaaS system from scratch, to ensure reliability and ability to scale. This system is used by 98% of the top 200 financial services companies, working together with product teams and delivering highly scalable infrastructure and pipelines.

This company likes to give responsibility out, so you will be involved in decision making on tech / projects and having a real influence on the SaaS product range.

• Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Writing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or OpenTofu.
• Automating deployment and operations tasks with PowerShell.
• Working closely with dev teams to keep things running smoothly and reliably.
• Keeping a close eye on things using tools like Datadog, Azure Monitor, and App Insights.

Technical Summary:

• Experience in a Platform, Infra, or DevOps role
• Strong Azure experience – ideally running 24x7 production systems
• Solid Kubernetes skills – you’ve deployed and managed clusters in the wild
• Confident with Terraform/OpenTofu for IaC
• Good grasp of CI/CD workflows (Azure DevOps is a plus)
• Comfortable scripting in PowerShell
• You know your way around observability tools
• Great communicator who enjoys collaborating across teams
