As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will architect and maintain scalable, secure infrastructures for fintech and payment platforms, ensuring compliance with PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 standards. You will collaborate closely with DevSecOps and compliance teams to embed security natively into the CI/CD pipelines while driving automation, reliability, and performance across AWS and Kubernetes environments. Your role will involve mentoring junior engineers, reviewing best practices, and continuously iterating on monitoring, alerting, and incident-response frameworks to sustain high-availability services. You will also engage in capacity planning, cost optimization, and governance to support the organization’s growth in a regulated payment ecosystem.

Requirements

• Design, implement, and manage highly available Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS or self-hosted clusters with consistent CI/CD pipelines
• Develop and maintain Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm configurations for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management
• Build and automate secure, compliant CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Jenkins, incorporating code scanning, vulnerability assessment, and compliance checks
• Enforce PCI-DSS controls across the infra stack, including network segmentation, encryption, baselining, and logging for audit readiness
• Implement and tune centralized monitoring, logging, and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and CloudWatch for proactive incident detection
• Lead capacity planning, cost-optimization initiatives, and service-level engineering for high-traffic payment workloads
• Mentor and guide cross-functional teams on DevOps best practices, container security, and application resiliency
• Automate deployment of microservices, serverless functions, and batch jobs across multiple regions and accounts with multi-cloud awareness
• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to perform regular penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and remediation workflows
• Drive continuous improvement in incident-response playbooks, blameless post-mortems, and root-cause analysis to reduce MTTR
• 5+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production-grade Kubernetes and AWS ecosystems in fintech or payment environments
• Deep knowledge of PCI-DSS regulations, end-to-end payment flow security, and experience conducting audit readiness and remediation activities
• Proficient in Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, and scripting (Python, Bash, Go) for infrastructure automation and deployments
• Strong background in CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Terraform Cloud), including security gate integration and artifact management
• Expertise in container runtime security, image scanning, RBAC governance, and secrets management with Vault or aws-secretsmanager
• Proven track record in monitoring, observability, and log-based alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Elastic stack
• Leadership experience mentoring junior DevOps engineers and fostering a culture of collaboration, automation, and security awareness
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems and multi-cloud environments
• Familiarity with serverless frameworks (AWS Lambda, Step Functions), event-driven architecture, and API gateway policies for payment services
• A passion for continuous learning, staying current with industry trends, emerging tools, and compliance frameworks in the fintech space.
