Offer description

Join a High-Growth Global Fintech as a Senior or Principal DevOps Engineer


Location: Remote | Type: Full-time | Level: Senior / Principal


Are you ready to shape the DevOps culture at a company where your voice matters, your skills are valued, and your work has visible impact?


We are working with a high-growth global fintech, renowned for delivering world-class payments-related software and technology. As they expand their merchant-first ecosystem, they're looking for experienced, curious, and accountable engineers to scale DevOps with clarity, precision, and purpose.


We're hiring Senior and Principal DevOps Engineers to lead from the front-designing, building, and owning the next generation of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and deployment tooling that power complex hybrid infrastructure across both on-prem and multi-cloud platforms.


Why Join?


Autonomy with purpose - This fintech is outcome-driven, not process-bound. You'll have real ownership and the freedom to innovate within small, empowered teams.


Grow your craft - Explore new tools and techniques, learn from seasoned engineers, and mentor others along the way.


Solve real-world problems - You won't be buried in buzzwords. You'll be building critical systems and tools to deliver value in a demanding enterprise-grade environment.

What You'll Do:



1. Architect and implement scalable CI/CD pipelines with IaC at their core

2. Standardize and evolve a DevOps toolchain (Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, GitLab, Artifactory, Docker, etc.)

3. Drive automation, eliminate manual steps, and embed security and quality into every deployment

4. Provide hands-on technical leadership (especially at the Principal level)-mentoring, whiteboarding, and influencing cross-functional delivery

5. Shape DevOps practices in a hybrid environment (on-prem + cloud) with real-world constraints and enterprise complexity

6. Troubleshoot systems across application and platform layers and ensure secure, reliable release pipelines



What We're Looking For:


This team isn't hiring job titles-they're looking for real-world, deep DevOps experience:

6+ years (Senior) / 8+ years (Principal) in DevOps, with a strong grasp of the full delivery lifecycle


Proven use of Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and CI/CD tooling in production-beyond tutorials and basic scripts


Experience in hybrid environments (not just cloud-native)-you've automated for both on-prem and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)


Track record of owning delivery, not just executing tickets-especially critical at the Principal level


Strong communication skills-you can diagram systems, explain decisions, and collaborate across technical and non-technical teams


You think like a systems engineer-structured, thoughtful, and always pushing for better ways to build and ship software

Bonus Points If You Have:



7. Experience with configuration and orchestration tools (Packer, Chef, Puppet, Rundeck)

8. Hands-on knowledge of monitoring stacks (Elastic, Splunk)

9. Familiarity with networking, security, and release governance in enterprise environments



This is your chance to bring your depth, curiosity, and leadership to a company building at scale-with real systems, real problems, and real influence.
