Senior DevOps Engineer
Summary
Design and implement AWS-based cloud infrastructure for a global fintech platform, migrating from on-prem to cloud-native while ensuring scalability, security, and cost efficiency using Terraform, Python, and Kubernetes.
Rapyd is a global fintech platform with offices in Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Singapore, Iceland, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, and the U.S.
Senior DevOps Engineer, with deep AWS expertise and experience across other public cloud platforms. This role will drive the design of our global cloud infrastructure, support the migration from on‑premises to cloud‑native services, and ensure our platforms are scalable, secure, and cost‑effective. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with hands‑on technical depth and a track record of participating in cloud transformation projects at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- This is a hands‑on position. You need to love writing Python, working with APIs, and codifying infrastructure.
- Lead the architectural design and implementation of solutions for Rapyd's cloud infrastructure, network, and applications.
- Design and execute cloud migration strategies from on‑premises infrastructure.
- Define and implement multi‑account AWS architecture, VPC designs, security controls, and shared services.
- Establish cloud infrastructure standards, reusable patterns, and governance models.
- Collaborate with DevOps, Application, and Security teams to implement IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and automated operations.
- Drive cloud cost optimization, monitoring, and operational efficiency.
- Ensure all designs meet internal and external compliance/security requirements (e.g., SOC 2, PCI).
- Act as technical advisor to leadership, providing cloud architectural guidance for new initiatives.
- Drive constant improvement and technological excellence.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in DevOps / Software, with a strong focus on architecture for both infrastructure and applications.
- 5+ years of experience in designing, implementing and leading infra lifecycles in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
- Solid coding skills: Terraform / Python a must. Ability to identify IaC areas that should become a module and take this module all the way to production.
- A strong and advanced expert in Terraform - a MUST.
- Expertise in low‑level networking - a MUST.
- Experience with container orchestration platforms (EKS, ECS, or Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with monitoring/observability tools (CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK, etc.).
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences from different cultures, across the globe.
- Curiosity and hunger to learn new technologies and better ways to operate. (If we're not improving, we're becoming legacy)
