Our technology powers mission-critical solutions across Lending, Payments and Universal Banking, supporting over 7,000 customers, including 80% of the world’s top 50 banks, in more than 110 countries. \n# Platform Engineer\n## About Finastra\nFinastra is a global leader in financial technology, providing innovative solutions that help financial institutions around the world transform their operations and deliver exceptional customer experiences.\nAbout the Role\nYou will build and run the platform that engineering teams deploy onto - a multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS environment supporting the modernisation of a large-scale financial system from on-premises to Kubernetes-based microservices. This is a senior software engineering role first, and a DevOps/platform role second: you write production-grade code for the tooling and automation you own, not just scripts and YAML, and you understand the Spring Boot services running on top of the platform well enough to debug deployment issues at the application layer, not just the infrastructure layer.\nCore Technical Requirements\nSoftware Engineering Foundation\n7+ years professional software engineering experience - strong general-purpose programming (Java and/or Go or Python), not solely scripting\n\nWrites and reviews production-grade code for internal platform tooling - CLIs, operators, controllers, automation services - with the same rigour as application code: tests, code review, versioning\n\nComfortable extending or contributing to shared Spring Boot libraries and starter packs consumed by other engineering teams\n\nUnderstands software design fundamentals - API design, concurrency, error handling, backward compatibility - well enough to be a credible reviewer on both infra and application pull requests\n\nCan debug across the full stack - from a Kubernetes scheduling failure down to a Spring Boot stack trace or a Hibernate query plan\n\nGitHub & Source Control Engineering\nDeep GitHub Actions expertise - authoring reusable/composite workflows, matrix builds, self-hosted runners, caching strategies, and secure secret handling in CI\n\nRepository governance at scale - branch protection rules, required status checks, CODEOWNERS, merge queue strategy across many repos or a monorepo\n\nGitHub Advanced Security - secret scanning and push protection, code scanning (CodeQL), Dependabot policy and triage\n\nGitHub Apps and fine-grained access tokens for internal automation - building bots/integrations against the GitHub API rather than relying on personal access tokens\n\nGitHub Environments - deployment protection rules, required reviewers, and environment-scoped secrets as a promotion gate into staging/production\n\nOrganisation and team permission design - least-privilege access across engineering teams, audit logging, SSO/SAML integration\n\nGitOps & DevOps\nProduction experience with GitOps tooling - ArgoCD or Flux - managing declarative, Git-driven deployments across multiple environments and clusters\n\nInfrastructure as Code - Terraform for cloud provisioning; Helm charts / Kustomize for Kubernetes manifests\n\nProgressive delivery - canary and blue-green rollout mechanics, automated rollback triggers tied to health signals\n\nSecrets management integrated into pipelines - Vault, Sealed Secrets, or cloud-native secret stores\n\nKubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure\nKubernetes at depth - deployments, StatefulSets, ConfigMaps, Secrets, resource quotas, autoscaling (HPA/VPA), network policies\n\nMulti-tenant cluster design - namespace isolation, per-tenant resource boundaries, workload scheduling\n\nCloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - networking, IAM, managed Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), managed databases\n\nContainer image strategy - multi-stage Docker builds, base image hardening, registry and vulnerability scanning\n\nObservability & Reliability\nBuilds and maintains observability stack - structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics (Prometheus/Grafana or equivalent)\n\nDefines SLIs/SLOs and alerting thresholds in partnership with engineering teams\n\nIncident response - on-call practices, runbooks, postmortems that lead to platform-level fixes, not just fire-fighting\n\nNice to Have\nExperience migrating workloads from on-premises / JBoss-style deployments into Kubernetes\n\nKafka or RabbitMQ operations - cluster management, topic/queue scaling, consumer lag monitoring\n\nPolicy-as-code experience - OPA/Gatekeeper, admission controllers, compliance-as-code for regulated environments\n\nExposure to the financial services domain - awareness of the audit, resiliency, and change-control expectations that come with banking customers\n\nWhat We Look For at This Level\nYou treat the platform as a product - self-service, documented, and reliable enough that application teams rarely need to escalate to you\n\nYou write platform tooling as real software - tested, versioned, code-reviewed - not one-off scripts that only you can maintain\n\nYou can move fluidly between a Terraform module, a GitHub Actions workflow, a Kubernetes manifest, and a Spring Boot stack trace without losing context\n\nYou design deployment and rollback paths that reduce customer-facing risk by default, not as an afterthought\n\nYou partner with engineering teams during design, flagging operability, security, and scaling concerns before code is written\n\nYou mentor other engineers on CI/CD and platform practices, and you're a credible voice in architecture discussions beyond just infrastructure\n\nWe are proud to offer a range of incentives to our employees worldwide. These benefits are available to everyone, regardless of grade, and reflect the values we stand for:\nFlexibility: Enjoy unlimited vacation, subject to local regulations and business priorities. Benefit from hybrid working arrangements and inclusive policies such as paid time off for voting, bereavement, and sick leave.\nWell-being: Access confidential one-to-one support through our Employee Assistance Program, connect with our network of Wellbeing Champions and Gather Groups, and take part in monthly events and initiatives designed to help you thrive-inside and outside of work.\nHealth & Financial Security: Medical, life and disability insurance, retirement plans, lifestyle, and other benefits.*\nSustainability: Paid time off for volunteering and donation-matching opportunities to support causes that matter to you.\nInclusion: Get involved in our inclusion communities, such as Count Me In, Culture@Finastra, Proud@Finastra, Disabilities@Finastra, and Women@Finastra-open to everyone who wants to participate and contribute.\nCareer Development: Access online learning and accredited courses through our Skills & Career Navigator tool.\nRecognition: Take part in our global recognition program, Finastra Celebrates, and share your voice through regular employee surveys that help shape our culture and ways of working.\n*Specific benefits may vary by location.\nAt Finastra, each individual is unique-bringing their own ideas, perspectives, cultural backgrounds, and experiences. We learn from one another, value what makes us different, and create an environment where everyone feels included, supported, and able to be their authentic selves.\nBe unique. Be exceptional.
