About Us
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.
Your Mission
As a DevOps / SRE Engineer at Peratera, you will own the reliability and scalability of a live fintech platform processing real financial transactions. You will build and evolve our cloud infrastructure, implement end-to-end observability, and drive automation across deployment and operations — working closely with engineering teams to make systems more resilient, observable, and easy to operate.
Your Tech Environment
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
What You’ll Do
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
Drive infrastructure cost optimisation and efficiency initiatives
Contribute to security and compliance posture — FCA, PCI DSS requirements
What We’re Looking For
4–6+ 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
Strong ownership mindset — comfortable working autonomously and taking end-to-end responsibility
Familiarity with networking fundamentals and cloud security practices
Nice to Have
Experience in fintech, payments, or other regulated environments
Knowledge of PCI DSS compliance requirements
Hands-on experience with OpenSearch / ELK, Prometheus / Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
Exposure to event-driven architectures and Kafka / AMQP
Interest or experience in AIOps or ML-based monitoring and anomaly detection
What You’ll Get
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
