Senior DevOps Engineer

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and reliability practices. This is a hands-on engineering role guided by Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, focused on automation, operational excellence, and proactive risk reduction — within the governance and compliance expectations of the industry.


Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure and Reliability

• Design, operate, and improve AWS-based infrastructure across multiple regions and environments
• Manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi with TypeScript)
• Apply SRE principles to reduce operational toil and enhance observability and alerting
• Improve system resilience and failure isolation per partner environment
• Support a rapidly increasing number of isolated deployments as each partner integration results in multiple independently deployed backend services

CI/CD and Deployment Engineering

• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
• Build scalable, multi-tenant deployment workflows that support automated promotion, failover, and rollbacks
• Maintain blue-green deployments and improve rollback automation
• Support high-availability deployments for internal and partner-facing tools and dashboards
• Work within a peer-reviewed change process and long-term production approval requirements

Observability and Incident Management

• Maintain and improve monitoring, logging, and alerting systems
• Ensure alerts are actionable and aligned with real player impact
• Design and formalise incident response processes
• Lead and participate in blameless postmortems with shared ownership of follow-ups

Security, Compliance and Cost

• Support secure system design, secrets management, and access control
• Enable and integrate security scanning and secure SDLC practices into CI/CD
• Prepare systems for external security audits and compliance requirements
• Own cloud cost awareness and optimisation — FinOps is part of this role

Collaboration

• Help establish shared responsibility for operational quality across the engineering team
• Collaborate with technical leadership on prioritisation and long-term platform improvements
• Contribute to long-term plans for scalability and operational robustness of core platform components

Must Have

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, Platform, or SRE-adjacent roles
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments
• Practical, hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools — this is non-negotiable
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines from scratch
• Solid understanding and application of SRE concepts: alerting strategy, incident response, reliability vs velocity trade-offs, automation to reduce operational toil
• Background supporting consumer-facing, revenue-generating platforms at real scale — you understand what reliability truly means when money is on the line
• Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript
• Some experience with distributed systems or message brokers (NATS, Kafka, etc.)
  
  You Are
• Action-oriented — you get things done through effective collaboration, not endless planning
• An owner — you take responsibility for complex systems with minimal oversight and engage the team proactively
• A clear communicator — you speak up, flag issues early, and translate technical problems for non-technical stakeholders without being asked
• Decisive — you exercise good judgment on when to refactor vs when to ship
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment where the roadmap evolves and autonomy is expected
