Who are we?

At Finastra, we’re a global leader in financial services software, dedicated to expanding access to financial services and shaping what’s next for the industry. Our technology powers mission‑critical solutions across Lending, Payments and Universal Banking, supporting over 7,000 customers, including 80% of the world’s top 50 banks, in more than 110 countries.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Champion a platform product mindset, treating internal engineering teams as customers, and continuously improving developer experience

Centralized DevOps Organization & Self-Service CI/CD

  • Build, lead, and scale a centralized shared DevOps team responsible for delivering self-service CI/CD frameworks to all product engineering teams
  • Define and enforce standardized CI/CD pipelines, toolchains, and governance practices across all Corporate Lending products
  • Develop reusable pipeline templates, infrastructure modules, and deployment blueprints that enable product teams to operate with speed and consistency
  • Reduce outer-loop friction and drive automation across build, test, release, and deployment workflows

SRE & Operational Excellence

  • Build and mature Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices from the ground up across the product portfolio
  • Establish Service Level Objectives (SLOs), error budgets, observability standards, and incident response frameworks
  • Drive a culture of operational excellence, proactive monitoring, and continuous reliability improvement
  • Balance delivery velocity with system stability and client uptime commitments

Client Deployment Standards

  • Design and publish standardized deployment patterns for clients, ensuring consistent, repeatable, and well-documented onboarding and release processes
  • Reduce client-facing delivery risk and variability through structured deployment frameworks and validated reference architectures
  • Collaborate with client-facing and product teams to align deployment standards with client expectations and contractual obligations

Team Leadership & Organizational Development

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing centralized DevOps engineering team
  • Serve as a hands-on technical authority and trusted advisor for product teams navigating the cloud-native modernization journey
  • Establish communities of practice and engineering guilds to drive knowledge sharing and standards adoption across product lines
  • Own the roadmap for extending DevOps standards and platform practices into Retail Lending

Required Qualifications

  • 15–20 years of overall software engineering and technical leadership experience, with a strong and consistent focus on DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure modernization, and cloud-native delivery
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud-native platform engineering
  • Deep expertise with at least one enterprise Kubernetes platform: Red Hat OpenShift, AWS EKS, or Azure AKS, with working knowledge of at least one additional platform strongly preferred
  • Proven track record of building, leading, and scaling centralized DevOps or platform engineering teams that deliver shared, self-service CI/CD capabilities to multiple product teams
  • Strong platform product mindset demonstrated ability to treat internal engineering teams as customers and drive developer experience as a first-class outcome
  • Proven strategic thinking and roadmap ownership — ability to define a multi-year DevOps and platform vision, secure organizational buy-in, and execute incrementally
  • Hands-on experience building and institutionalizing SRE practices, including SLOs, observability pipelines, error budgets, and incident management frameworks
  • Experience defining and scaling standardized client deployment patterns in complex, multi-product or multi-client enterprise environments
  • Deep expertise with modern CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Tekton, ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and GitOps workflows
  • Strong command of cloud-agnostic infrastructure principles, IaC tooling (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize), and secure software supply chain practices
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and align senior stakeholders, architecture teams, and product engineering organizations in a large, matrixed enterprise

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Financial Services or a regulated industry environment
  • Familiarity with enterprise lending platforms such as LoanIQ or comparable financial systems
  • Background in Internal Developer Portal (IDP) tooling (e.g., Backstage) and platform engineering capability maturity models
  • Knowledge of FinOps principles and cloud cost governance strategies
  • Experience driving DevOps and platform standardization across multiple business lines

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
