Senior DevOps Engineer with AWS and Go, Banking Infrastructure Platform
About the Position
We are undertaking a landmark project: migrating our entire Fintech infrastructure from self-hosted Jenkins to a SaaS-based GitHub Actions platform and establishing a unified, “golden path” CI/CD platform that is fast, reliable, and easy to adopt. Beyond migration, we are reimagining the internal developer platform as a product for our engineering teams: reducing toil, standardising workflows, and enabling self-service delivery at scale. This includes progressively embedding AI across the SDLC, from pipeline optimisation and test intelligence to incident insight and developer guidance, moving toward a data-driven, AI-assisted delivery ecosystem that enables teams to ship quickly, safely, and with confidence. The working schedule is aligned with the UK time zone (9am to 5:30pm UK time) and involves participating in on-call shifts if required. This position includes a sign-in bonus.
