Skills
Must have
- Extensive, hands-on experience in infrastructure; you can design, troubleshoot and reason about network architecture at depth, not just consume managed services.
- Real experience developing, deploying and supporting complex infrastructures made up of many moving parts, not just designing them on a whiteboard. The kind of knowledge and judgement that only comes
- Strong, production-grade experience with Infrastructure as Code, including design, state management and multi-environment workflows, as well as scripting languages such as Python.
- Deep working knowledge of AWS across compute, networking, storage, IAM, and managed services in a multi-account setup.
- In-depth understanding of access controls, encryption, and networking concepts and protocols.
- Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD delivery pipelines in a production environment.
- Experience with containerisation and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes or equivalent).
- Experience implementing security and guardrail controls in Infrastructure as Code and Kubernetes environments to enforce policy at deploy time rather than relying solely on after-the-fact review.
- Solid experience with monitoring and observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) and using it to drive real reliability improvements, not just dashboards.
- SRE experience or equivalent; comfortable owning production reliability, leading or contributing to incident response, and working from SLIs/SLOs where appropriate.
- Recent, hands-on experience developing and supporting modern, multi-tenant systems, using AI-assisted tooling and workflows in day-to-day engineering, current DevOps practices, and close, ongoing coll
Nice to have
- Experience working in a small or mid-sized organisation where DevOps and Engineering are separate but tightly coupled teams.
- Experience with configuration/decision-recording practices such as ADRs and RFCs.
- Hands-on development experience in Kotlin/Java and/or React, beyond simply reading code.
- Experience administering Microsoft 365 (identity, device management, security configuration) and/or ZTNA network solutions.
- Direct experience supporting SOC 2 and/or Cyber Essentials Plus certification or renewal, including evidence gathering and control remediation.

Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer
This is a remote position within the UK. We currently don’t provide visa sponsorship.
You must be currently residing in the UK to apply.
We are a B2B Fintech focusing on disrupting the small business lending market. SMEs make up 99% of all UK businesses yet are traditionally underserved by big banks and financial institutions. Built from nearly a decade of experience powering a digital credit broking marketplace, our SaaS solutions serve banks, lenders, and the wider SME finance ecosystem. Leveraging live, validated transactional data from the UK’s advanced data environment, FXE Technologies’ products drive accurate decisioning and proactive engagement. Our products are used by over 80 leading high street and challenger banks and specialist lenders
Role Description
Behind those products is a platform that has to earn the trust of the institutions that depend on it. FXE is a lean, fast-moving organisation with strong ambitions, and the DevOps team sits at the centre of it. We build and operate multi-tenant platforms used by customers including Tier 1 banks, so everything we build must meet the security, reliability and scale expectations of regulated financial institutions.
It's an exciting time to join. We're delivering several projects that will shape where FXE goes next, and the DevOps team is critical to making them happen.
We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take real ownership of DevOps at FXE. You'll bring deep, hands-on infrastructure and networking expertise, a strong command of Terraform, AWS, identity and access management, delivery pipelines and observability, and recent, extensive experience running infrastructure through automation.
Your decisions on infrastructure, delivery pipelines, operations, FinOps, maintainability and reliability, together with the product and application architecture decisions you help shape, will directly determine how fast the business ships, how confidently it scales and how well it holds up under pressure.
This isn't a role where you quietly maintain someone else's designs. You'll create and help define them. You'll lead infrastructure and delivery initiatives end to end, hold your own in design and planning discussions with the most experienced engineers in the company, and bring modern DevOps, SRE and security thinking to how we build, deploy and run systems.
You'll also be a bridge between DevOps and Engineering. You'll understand infrastructure deeply, but you'll also be able to read, reason about and ideally contribute to application code, so that platform and application decisions are made together rather than handed over a wall.
Beyond product infrastructure and delivery pipelines, the DevOps team is responsible for FXE's security systems, supports our corporate IT infrastructure (including Microsoft 365 and our zero-trust network access), and assists with compliance activity such as SOC 2 and Cyber Essentials Plus. This role shares in all of that, not just product-facing infrastructure.
