DevOps/SRE Engineer

Peratera is a UK-based fintech company, founded in 2022 and authorised by the FCA as an Electronic Money Institution.

We are building a modern, all-in-one payment platform that enables businesses to manage global payments and financial operations seamlessly.

Our solution allows companies to open multi-currency accounts, send and receive payments worldwide, and manage cross-border transactions from a single platform.

Our mission is to simplify global finance and remove friction from international business operations.

You will work in a modern, cloud-native stack with clear ownership and a defined direction:

• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM), Kubernetes, Docker

• CI/CD & IaC: GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Terraform (or similar)

• Observability: Prometheus + Grafana, CloudWatch → OpenSearch / ELK (target), OpenTelemetry (roadmap)

• Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, event-driven message brokers (AMQP / Kafka patterns)

• Platform: Java / Spring Boot microservices, high-load financial transaction processing, external bank and payment integrations

• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS - EKS, EC2, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM

• Manage and optimise Kubernetes (EKS) clusters for reliability and performance

• Implement and evolve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

• Build observability systems - centralised logging, metrics dashboards, alerting, and distributed tracing

• Define and track SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across platform services

• Lead incident management and response processes; drive post-incident reviews

• Collaborate with engineers to reduce failure points and enable self-healing systems

• Contribute to security and compliance posture - FCA, PCI DSS requirements

• Drive infrastructure cost optimisation and efficiency initiative

• 5–7+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS preferred)

• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines - GitLab CI preferred

• Infrastructure as Code experience - Terraform or equivalent

• Solid understanding of distributed systems, high availability, and fault tolerance

• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and logging systems in production environments

• Ability to configure and setup, Db management close to DBA

• Familiarity with networking fundamentals and cloud security practices

• Strong ownership mindset - comfortable working autonomously and taking end-to-end responsibility

• Experience in fintech, payments, or other regulated environments

• Knowledge of PCI DSS compliance requirements

• Hands-on experience with OpenSearch / ELK, Prometheus / Grafana, or OpenTelemetry

• Interest or experience in AIOps or ML-based monitoring and anomaly detection

• Exposure to event-driven architectures and Kafka / AMQP

• Competitive, market-aligned compensation - discussed openly at first interview

• Full ownership of platform reliability on a live fintech product - not a sandbox

• Opportunity to build SRE practices and observability tooling from the ground up

• Exposure to modern cloud-native and  observability stack

• Genuine growth path toward Senior SRE / Platform Lead or Cloud Architect

• Fully remote setup with flexible hours and an international, highly skilled team
