Role Summary

Take ownership of a leading bank's software delivery performance via their Internal Developer Platform; Driving automation, AI integration, and software delivery excellence. You'll enable scalable, reliable engineering processes, champion best practices, and modernize workflows across multiple teams.

Key Responsibilities

Develop an Internal Developer Platform with standardized CI/CD pipelines, self-service tools, and "golden paths" for engineers.

Automate the SDLC, targeting minimal manual involvement and reducing operational burdens.

Lead and mentor DevOps/SRE engineers, fostering a culture focused on automation, ownership, and accountability.

Promote platform adoption and best practices through enablement and advocacy, not central control.

Embed AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) in engineering processes for code generation, incident analysis, and testing optimization.

Continuously improve SDLC efficiency—cutting lead times, failure rates, and overhead.

Design, maintain, and scale robust CI/CD systems with rapid feedback loops.

Enforce quality gates (testing, security, and container scanning) with automation.

Standardize use of Infrastructure as Code and Configuration as Code.

Ensure consistent, reproducible, and auditable environments across the entire lifecycle.

Evolve the observability stack for metrics, logs, and traces; drive SLO/SLI-based reliability.

Implement proactive monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation where feasible.

Lead reliability engineering: incident response, postmortems, and error budget management.

Solve complex distributed systems challenges and remove performance bottlenecks.

Embed security features—RBAC, secrets, network policies, and automated compliance—by design.

Optimize cloud and infrastructure costs, maximizing resource efficiency.

Collaborate with engineering, QA, and product to advance developer experience.

Train and support teams on platform features and AI-enhanced development.

Requirements

5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering, including leadership.

Hands-on background with scalable platforms and distributed systems.

Evidence of building developer platforms or self-service ecosystems.

Deep knowledge of CI/CD, automation, and large-scale infrastructure.

Practical AI tool integration experience (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot).

Track record improving SDLC KPIs: lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR.

Expertise with Kubernetes and containers.

Proficient in AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Strong in IaC (Terraform) and config management (Ansible).

Solid scripting or coding ability (Python, Go, comparable languages).

Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

Understanding of reliability engineering concepts—SLOs, SLIs, error budgets.

Knowledge of modern DevSecOps and security practices.

Familiarity with both SQL and NoSQL databases.

Who Should Apply?

We're seeking a senior DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering leader with hands-on platform-building experience, team leadership, and a strong drive for automation, developer experience, and innovation. Technical depth and effective collaboration are crucial.
