Job Description:
Emerging technologies such as cloud-native platforms, distributed systems, and automated delivery pipelines are transforming how modern financial infrastructures are built and operated.
The Innovation Tribe is driving this transformation by delivering scalable, secure, and resilient digital platforms, including the Digital Asset Platform.
To support this ambition, we are looking for an Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer who will play a key role in building, operating, and integrating platform infrastructure in close collaboration with GTS (Group Technology Services).
You will ensure that our solutions are deployed on robust, compliant, and production-ready environments, while enabling engineering teams to deliver efficiently through automation, DevOps practices, and platform capabilities.
This is a hands-on role at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and enterprise platform services, with strong exposure to GTS processes and standards.
Summary
As an Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer, you will focus on enabling and operationalizing the platform infrastructure, ensuring alignment with GTS services, standards, and governance.
You will collaborate with engineering teams, platform architects, and GTS stakeholders to design, automate, and maintain environments across the full lifecycle-from development to production.
Your mission is to ensure that infrastructure and deployment processes are secure, scalable, automated, and aligned with enterprise requirements, while reducing friction for delivery teams.
Key Responsibilities
