About the role

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 WE'RE 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

OUR TECH STACK • Azure • Snowflake • DBT • Python • SQL • Hex • GitHub
