Overview

Come aboard as our
DevOps Tech Lead
and spearhead the modernization of Moneyboat's technology stack. You'll design and own a
secure, lightning-fast CI/CD platform

  (Kafka / Pub/Sub, BigQuery) to power analytics and upcoming AI/ML workloads.
• Champion observability
  by deploying end-to-end logging, metrics, and tracing.
• Mentor & collaborate
  with cross-functional teams, instilling DevSecOps best practices and a "shift-left" mindset.
• Drive cost-efficient scalability

• Evaluate & integrate
  emerging tools (SBOM, SCA, policy as code) to maintain compliance with FCA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards.
• Continuously improve
  deployment frequency, MTTR, and platform reliability through data-driven retros and experimentation.

Your skills & experience

  DevSecOps
  tooling (Snyk, GitGuardian, or equivalent) and
  shift-left security
  practices.

• Excellent collaboration & communication skills; comfortable aligning engineers, product, compliance, and executives.

Desired

• Background in
  fintech, lending, or other regulated industries
  .
• Experience preparing platforms for
  AI/ML workloads
