Cloud SRE / DevOps Engineer | London | AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Python | Highly competitive [...]

Some infrastructure roles are about maintaining platforms. This one is about engineering the foundations on which investment decisions, trading systems and business-critical workloads depend.

A world-class global investment firm is building out its London Cloud SRE & DevOps Engineering capability and is looking for an exceptional mid-to-senior engineer to help shape the next generation of its technology platform.

This is not a ticket-driven support position. You will design platforms, automate infrastructure, solve difficult production problems and directly influence how engineering teams build and deploy software across the firm.

Why this opportunity stands out

• Ownership of business-critical infrastructure supporting sophisticated investment and trading systems
• The opportunity to engineer at scale across AWS, Kubernetes and distributed production environments
• Genuine influence over cloud architecture, reliability standards and platform strategy
• Close collaboration with outstanding software engineers, data specialists and cybersecurity teams
• Exposure to modern AI, machine learning and data-intensive workloads
• A high-calibre engineering culture where thoughtful automation and operational excellence are taken seriously
• Highly competitive compensation, including a substantial discretionary year-end bonus

• Improve the performance, resilience, security and scalability of the wider cloud platform

SRE and production engineering

• Take end-to-end ownership of systems running in production
• Solve complex problems across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking and distributed systems
• Improve availability, observability, incident response and operational maturity

CI/CD and developer enablement

• Design and evolve modern CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and comparable tooling
• Advance GitOps practices using technologies such as Argo CD
• Create automated, standardised and self-service capabilities for engineering teams

Data and emerging workloads

• Support cloud-based database platforms including Snowflake, Aurora and Microsoft SQL Server
• Automate Snowflake configuration and delivery through CI/CD pipelines
• Help engineer scalable infrastructure for AI, machine learning and data-intensive applications
• Evaluate emerging technologies, including LLM services, vector databases and GPU-based environments, where they can create genuine value

What we are looking for

• Deep, production-level experience with AWS
• Strong Kubernetes experience, ideally including EKS, Docker and Helm
