Senior DevOps Engineer

Overview

A leading international financial institution is undertaking a large-scale transformation across Markets Technology, driven by a combination of infrastructure modernisation, application migration and a broader push to improve engineering efficiency.

As part of this initiative, a centralised DevOps capability is being established to support the migration and standardisation of a complex estate of applications, while introducing more efficient and scalable ways of working across teams.

This role will sit within a newly formed central team, working across multiple Markets Technology groups to accelerate delivery, reduce duplication and improve the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle.

• Migration of approximately 90+ applications across Markets Technology

• Transition to new data centre environments as part of the GDC West programme

• Adoption of a standardised internal Kubernetes platform

• Migration to new object storage solutions and infrastructure models

• Replacement of existing workflow and scheduling tools (including Control-M) with modern alternatives such as Airflow

• Consolidation of DevOps practices across teams to avoid duplication and inconsistency

Technical Requirements

• Strong DevOps or platform engineering experience within a large, complex environment

• Solid exposure to Java-based application ecosystems

• Experience deploying and managing applications on Linux (preferably Red Hat)

• Experience working with Kubernetes in an enterprise setting

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps preferred)

• Experience supporting multiple applications or working across teams rather than within a single isolated product

• Experience with workflow tools such as Control-M or Airflow

• Experience automating DevOps processes and workflows using AI
