The Role Our client is a highly innovative, deeply technical, and lean fintech platform that operates with a flat hierarchy and a culture of "radical ownership." They are seeking a hands-on DevOps Team Lead who thrives in an autonomous environment and wants to take true ownership of modern infrastructure. If you are an AI-forward engineer who leverages modern AI tools to monitor infrastructure, manage security, and optimize workflows, this is the ideal environment for you to build and lead.

Responsibilities

1. Lead Infrastructure & Security: Oversee the core cloud infrastructure while directly managing the Cybersecurity team (a Cybersecurity Engineer will report directly to you).
2. AI-Driven Operations: Utilize AI tools (including Claude CODE and OpenAI) extensively to monitor infrastructure, automate repetitive tasks, and design secure systems.
3. Manage Deployments: Oversee production releases and infrastructure migrations. Ensure smooth operations with occasional after-hours coverage by rotation (weekend production support is compensated with paid OT).
4. Drive Radical Ownership: Act as an independent problem-solver. You will own the overarching architecture and ensure the team deeply understands the systems they build from end to end.

Requirements

1. Experience: Minimum 4–5+ years of hands-on DevOps and infrastructure experience, with a proven track record of architectural leadership. (Financial or fintech industry experience is a plus, but not required).
2. Technical Depth: Deep understanding of modern cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code. You must be able to clearly articulate architectural choices and past project ownership.
3. Modern Mindset & AI Fluency : Mandatory exposure to AI. You must have an adaptable mindset and a genuine passion for technology—we are looking for builders who view tech as more than "just a job."
4. Self-Starter Mentality: Ability to thrive in a "no spoon-feeding" culture.
5. Assessment Readiness: Must be able to pass a deep-dive technical interview with the CTO and complete a 90-minute live on-the-spot technical test.

Benefits

1. Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP).
2. Comprehensive Health Insurance (Personal Accident, Hospital & Surgical, Term Life).
3. Generous annual leave and leave entitlements.
4. Paid Claude Code Plan subscription.
5. Extra benefits including various medical/wellness allowances, education opportunities, and long-service awards.
