Why this role exists

You own availability and cloud strategy for a financial platform. The goal: infrastructure that heals itself, stands up to regulators and scales with the user base.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture and upkeep of the cloud platform, and keep financial services highly available

• Lead production incident response across product and engineering, and own response time and MTTR

• Set and enforce security policies for financial data, in line with industry and cyber regulations

• Hire, coach and lead a team of 7 to 10 DevOps and SRE engineers

What we're looking for

• 10+ years of professional experience, with 5+ in formal leadership in financial services or banking, including managing at least one manager

• Strong DevOps and SRE practice: CI/CD, automated incident response, reliability engineering

• Large-scale GCP or AWS, microservices, load balancing and networking

• Hands-on Docker and Kubernetes, plus Kafka, Redis and MySQL

• Clear communication across development, operations and security

Good to know

• Remote from Egypt, Jordan, Poland or Kazakhstan, with 1 to 3 weeks in Jakarta every quarter, fully sponsored.

• The team works on Jakarta time (GMT+7), so early starts are part of the job.

• One-year renewable contract with international medical insurance.

• Ajaib's products include crypto, forex, margin trading and interest-based lending. You'd work on them directly.

How we hire

A 30 minute intro call with Techy Recruiter, then HR, two technical interviews, a leadership interview and a final in Jakarta (sponsored).
