DevOps Engineer

Project description

Our client is a comprehensive-stack digital banking solutions provider empowering banks and financial institutions to scale and modernise at speed. The Cloud Platform team owns and operates Audax's development, test, and UAT environments, supporting build (Jenkins), deployment (Helm), and monitoring (ELK) for the wider engineering organization. As a Senior Software Engineer I, Platforms, you will deliver defined platform engineering work packages independently — implementing secure data access, container-based deployments, and automation that keep environments reliable and DevOps practices consistent. You'll work closely with business analysts, project managers, and technical specialists across a global, distributed team, contributing to a dynamic environment where good DevOps practice is actively built and improved.

Responsibilities

• Deliver defined build, deployment, and environment-provisioning work packages independently, keeping milestones on track within owned scope.
• Set up and maintain structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data stores to support platform and application needs.
• Implement secure access mechanisms for connecting to multiple data sources.
• Build and operate containerized microservices and database deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of replication approaches for active/active data centre layouts, under guidance from senior/staff engineers where architecture-level trade-offs are involved.
• Contribute to backup and recovery procedures for platform environments, following established standards and escalating design gaps early.
• Automate deployment and administration tasks across Dev, Test, and UAT environments using Helm and related tooling.
• Apply GitOps practices to manage deployment of microservices, jobs, tools, and workflows.
• Communicate progress, risks, and readiness clearly with business analysts, project managers, and technical stakeholders across locations.
• Support the adoption of DevOps good practices across the project, sharing knowledge with the wider engineering team.
