Why This Role Matters
We are looking for a DevOps Lead who will take end-to-end ownership of our Infrastructure and Platform Engineering function.
This is not a traditional support DevOps role - this is a
build, scale, and lead mandate
.
You will be responsible for designing resilient, scalable, and secure infrastructure that powers mission-critical fintech systems. Along with being deeply hands-on, you will build and mentor the infra/platform team, establish engineering best practices, and create a future-ready DevOps culture.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering velocity, platform reliability, security, and cost efficiency, working closely with Engineering, Security, Product, and Leadership teams to ensure infrastructure becomes a strategic enabler for scale.
The Hats You Will Wear
Own the complete cloud infrastructure strategy, architecture, and execution
Design highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems
Build infrastructure that supports high-throughput, low-latency workloads
Drive infrastructure reliability, uptime, and disaster recovery readiness
Lead adoption and maturity of Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Build self-serve internal platforms for engineering teams
Drive CI/CD maturity to enable faster and safer releases
Improve deployment frequency while reducing failure rates
Establish observability across systems (logging, monitoring, tracing)
Define and enforce SLOs, SLIs, and uptime standards
Lead incident response frameworks and post-mortem culture
Ensure infrastructure aligns with security and compliance expectations
Partner with Security teams on cloud posture, access governance, and secrets management
Own cloud cost visibility and optimization
Build cost-aware engineering practices
Build and scale the DevOps / Platform team
Hire, mentor, and grow high-performing engineers
Establish infrastructure roadmaps aligned with business growth
Drive DevOps culture across engineering teams

Experience with monitoring & observability stacks
Proven experience designing scalable production systems
Strong understanding of system reliability & availability principles
Experience driving automation-first infrastructure
Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on
Experience working in high-growth startup environments
Your Edge Over the Rest
