DevOps Engineer – Trading Technology | Hong Kong
We’re partnering with a global, technology-led investment firm to hire an experienced DevOps Engineer into a high-performance engineering environment.
This is not a traditional “keep the lights on” DevOps position. You’ll work closely with software engineering teams to build the platforms, pipelines, automation and developer tooling that underpin business-critical systems.
What you’ll be doing- Building and improving CI/CD pipelines, release processes and deployment tooling
- Designing self-service platforms and developer tooling that improve engineering productivity
- Automating infrastructure, deployments, upgrades and migrations
- Working across hybrid infrastructure – on-premise and cloud
- Building internal tools, APIs and integrations
- Improving monitoring, alerting, observability and operational readiness
- Partnering closely with software engineers to improve how applications move from development into production
- Helping establish engineering standards and best practices across teams
- Strong Python and scripting skills
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes
- Strong cloud infrastructure experience, ideally AWS
- Terraform / OpenTofu / Infrastructure as Code
- Strong understanding of Linux, with Windows exposure beneficial
- Experience building or operating mature CI/CD environments
- Git and modern software development workflows
- Monitoring/observability experience with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch or Splunk
- An engineering mindset focused on automation, reliability and eliminating repetitive operational work
Exposure to C/C++, Make or CMake would be beneficial but isn't essential.
Why consider it?The role sits close to core engineering and business-critical technology rather than being separated into a traditional infrastructure function.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence how engineering teams build, deploy and operate software, while developing tooling used across a sophisticated global technology environment.
