Job Summary
OVERALL PURPOSE
We are building a small focused innovation pod inside a fintech scale-up and we need someone who can make sure the systems we build actually reach production safely.
This is not a maintenance role. You will be shaping the deployment and data infrastructure for a team that moves fast and builds things that matter. You will own everything from CI/CD pipelines to database migrations observability and environment promotion.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for rapid safe deployment
- Own the infrastructure layer on Azure: environments configuration secrets networking
- Plan and execute database schema migrations safely including rollback strategies
- Set up and maintain observability: logging metrics alerting
- Manage containerized workloads using Docker and Azure managed services
- Promote builds from development through staging to production with confidence
- Collaborate directly with the backend and frontend engineers in the pod
- Document infrastructure decisions so production teams can inherit what we build
THE EXPERIENCE WERE LOOKING FOR
- Demonstrated experience owning CI/CD pipelines end-to-end
- Production experience with database migrations in a regulated or financial environment
- Hands-on with Docker and Azure managed services
- Strong understanding of observability tooling and incident response
- Comfortable operating as the sole platform function within a small team
- Systematic approach to deployment risk and rollback planning
- IaC experience is a strong advantage but not a blocker for the right candidate (Terraform or equivalent)
Advantageous:
- Familiarity with agentic development workflows or AI-assisted tooling
- Prior experience preparing systems for handoff to a larger ops or platform team
