Senior DevOps Engineer (Cloud Platform)

The Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to strengthen our Cloud Platform team. This is a hands-on technical role critical to ensuring our operational excellence, security, and resilience.

You will help build a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud infrastructure that serves as the foundation for all our product teams. This role requires deep hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code.

Crucially, you will be responsible for navigating the strict regulatory landscape of a financial institution. You must have successfully navigated environments requiring ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and DORA compliance. You will work closely with the Cloud Platform Manager and security teams to implement the controls and processes necessary to keep our platform secure and compliant.

While this is a remote-first role, you should be based in a CET-adjacent timezone to collaborate effectively with colleagues.

What You'll Do

• Build Cloud Infrastructure: Design, implement, and maintain our AWS-based infrastructure (EKS, EC2, RDS, IAM, VPC, KMS, networking).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and manage our infrastructure using Terraform/Terragrunt, Helm, and Kubernetes manifests.
• CI/CD & GitOps: Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) and operate GitOps workflows using ArgoCD or Flux.
• Compliance Implementation: Implement and maintain the specific technical controls and processes required for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and DORA.
• Security Operations: Apply best practices for cloud security, encryption, access control (IAM, RBAC, Zero Trust), and support incident response.
• Observability: Configure and maintain our observability stack using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alloy, and OpenTelemetry.
• Documentation: Create clear technical documentation, standards, and security policies to support audits and internal knowledge sharing.

• Disaster Recovery: Support Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity planning and testing.

   

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years of professional DevOps experience, with a proven track record of building secure cloud environments.
• Compliance Expert: Mandatory hands-on experience implementing and passing audits for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and DORA. You must understand the technical reality of these frameworks.
• AWS Mastery: Deep experience with AWS services, particularly EKS, networking, and security.
• Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (Mandatory).
• Container Orchestration: Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS), including autoscaling, IRSA, network policies, and cluster security.
• IaC Expertise: Strong proficiency with Terraform / Terragrunt and GitOps methodologies.
• Observability: Experience with monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).
• Security Mindset: Solid understanding of networking (TLS, VPN, WAF) and identity management (IAM, RBAC).

• Soft Skills: Strong ownership mentality, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to communicate effectively with auditors and stakeholders.

   

Bonus Points

• Certifications: AWS Security Specialty, AWS DevOps Engineer (Professional), or CKA/CKAD (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations.
• Experience with Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or SSM Parameter Store.
• Experience building AWS Landing Zone / Control Tower architectures.

• Background in FinTech, RegTech, or enterprise banking environments.

   

What We Offer

• Foundational Role: A key role in building the compliant infrastructure backbone for a major European crypto platform.
• High Standards: The opportunity to work in a high-compliance, high-security environment that values technical excellence.
• Clear Ambition: The chance to join a company with a clear goal of becoming the #1 crypto platform in the EU.
• Greenfield Culture, Brownfield Code: A rare chance to join a new company culture with no baggage, while solving the interesting technical challenges of a mature product.
