DevOps Engineer

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

What we’re looking for

  • 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.
