About the Client
Our client is a financial technology company that provides secure payment and prepaid card solutions for public sector organizations. Their platform powers critical payment workflows for government agencies replacing cash and paper-based processes with reliable digital systems.
Operating in a highly sensitive and regulated domain their infrastructure must prioritize reliability recoverability and transparency ensuring that financial operations remain stable and traceable at all times.
About the Role
Were looking for a DevOps Engineer to design and build a new deployment platform from the ground up. Today deployments rely on a functional but outdated homegrown PHP-based system. While it offers strong recoverability it lacks the flexibility needed to support modern workloads particularly the introduction of Rust-based services.
Your mission will be to design and implement a containerized deployment system that enables reliable observable and maintainable releases across the platform. This is a high-impact role where you will define the tooling architecture and best practices working closely with engineers who are not DevOps specialists.
This is ideal for someone who enjoys building simple durable systems rather than over-engineered pipelines and who values clarity recoverability and long-term maintainability.
What You Need to Succeed in This Role
Strong experience designing and implementing containerized deployment systems.
Solid experience working with Linux-based environments (Debian Ubuntu Amazon Linux etc.).
Experience with container technologies (Docker Podman or similar).
Understanding of CI/CD principles and deployment pipeline design.
Experience building systems with observability logging and recoverability in mind.
Experience working with backend engineers and guiding infrastructure decisions.
Pragmatic mindset: preference for simple maintainable solutions over complex architectures.
If You Get the Job You Will Have To
Design and implement a new containerized deployment platform to replace a legacy system.
Enable deployment of Rust-based services and support future architecture evolution.
Potentially unify deployment workflows across different technologies (PHP and Rust).
Ensure systems are recoverable observable and easy to debug when failures occur.
Define deployment standards tooling and best practices for the engineering team.
Provide guidance and support as the system is adopted and stabilized.
Background in fintech or other reliability-critical systems.
