• Design resilient systems to ensure our fintech stack is always on, always secure, and always fast.
• Drive observability by implementing real-time monitoring, alerting, and logging (think Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, etc. ).
• Work closely with backend and platform teams to roll out containerised workloads, microservices, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Own cloud security, infrastructure compliance, and audits as we scale towards millions of users.

• Strong working knowledge of AWS - EC2 VPC, IAM, ALB/NLB, RDS, S3 CloudWatch, Route53 etc.
• Experience working with Docker, Kubernetes (preferably EKS), and containerised workloads.
• Solid skills in Terraform or similar IaC tools; you don't click, you code.
• Hands-on with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, etc.
• Comfortable with scripting (Bash, Python, Go, whatever gets the job done).
• Prior experience working in high-availability, distributed systems is a big plus.
• A keen eye for cost optimisation, security best practices, and performance tuning.
