Mid-Level / Senior DevOps Engineer

Location: Hybrid (Ireland)
Salary: €70,000 - €75,000 + Benefits

I'm working with one of Ireland's leading fintech scale-ups as they continue to invest in their engineering function with the hire of a Mid-Level to Senior DevOps Engineer.

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain infrastructure or respond to tickets.

You'll join a small, highly collaborative DevOps team where you'll have genuine ownership over cloud infrastructure, automation and platform reliability, helping shape how DevOps evolves across the business' two core SaaS products.

The business is looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving systems and taking the initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting and improving AWS cloud infrastructure across multiple production environments
• Building and enhancing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Bitbucket Pipelines
• Managing infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
• Helping automate release processes and reduce manual deployment activities
• Supporting an ongoing platform migration across two products
• Monitoring, troubleshooting and improving platform reliability
• Working closely with Software Engineers to improve deployment and operational processes
• Contributing to observability, monitoring and incident response
• Mentoring less experienced engineers and helping raise technical standards across the team
• Identifying opportunities to improve infrastructure, security and automation

What they're looking for

You'll ideally have experience with a number of the following:

• 3+ years' experience in a DevOps, Platform or Cloud Engineering role
• Strong AWS experience across production environments
• Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
• CI/CD experience using Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines or similar tooling
• Container technologies including ECS and Fargate
• Monitoring and observability tools such as CloudWatch or Datadog
• Experience supporting Linux-based production environments
• Strong troubleshooting and incident investigation skills
• Experience working within Agile engineering teams
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to make decisions and take ownership
• Someone who enjoys improving processes rather than simply maintaining them

Experience working within fintech, SaaS or other regulated environments would be beneficial but isn't essential.

Tech you'll work around

• AWS
• Terraform
• Jenkins
• Bitbucket Pipelines
• ECS & Fargate
• Lambda
• EventBridge
• SQS
• CloudWatch
• Datadog
• RDS
• DynamoDB
• OpenSearch
• IAM
• WAF
• Route 53
• Docker

Why join?

• Small engineering team with genuine ownership from day one
• Opportunity to influence how the DevOps function evolves
• Modern AWS cloud environment
• Work across two growing SaaS products
• High levels of autonomy and trust
• Engineering team actively embracing AI tooling, including Cursor, ChatGPT and Codex
• Opportunity to mentor others and broaden your technical exposure
• Hybrid working
• Annual salary reviews
• Wellness allowance
• Educational support
• Work abroad for up to two weeks each year
• Quarterly company events and regular socials

If you're a DevOps or Platform Engineer looking for a role where you'll have genuine influence, solve interesting technical challenges and work within a collaborative engineering culture, I'd be happy to tell you more.
