- Guide architecture and design decisions to ensure resilience and regulatory compliance
- Drive automation, reliability tooling, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure maturity
- Champion a reliability‑first culture across engineering, security, and product teams
- Lead major incident management and shape a blameless, data‑driven post‑mortem culture
What You Bring
- Proven leadership experience in FinTech SaaS, digital payments, trading technology, or financial systems
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud‑native architecture, containerisation, and zero‑downtime patterns
- Expertise with AWS/GCP/Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, service mesh, and modern observability stacks
- Strong understanding of security, compliance, and risk considerations in financial technology
- Outstanding communication, stakeholder management, and calm decision‑making
Why This Role Matters
