Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs

This Senior DevOps Engineer role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the platform layer of a product company serving regulated capital markets, where reliability and repeatability are not optional. The listing signals a cloud-first delivery model with strong emphasis on infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and production-grade Kubernetes, all of which map closely to how modern SaaS platforms are built and operated.

From a career perspective, the work builds durable SaaS infrastructure expertise: designing delivery paths that remove manual intervention, shaping environment promotion practices, and treating observability and resilience as engineered capabilities rather than add-ons. Experience gained here transfers well across SaaS organisations that run multi-environment deployments, need auditable change management, and rely on standardised cloud patterns to scale engineering throughput.

The role is best suited to an engineer who prefers end-to-end ownership and can make architectural decisions that other cloud engineers immediately recognise. It will appeal to someone who values disciplined automation, is comfortable being accountable for outcomes, and enjoys collaborating closely with senior technical leadership while still remaining hands-on in delivery.

Job Description

WHO WE ARE

We build software exclusively for capital markets based on an advanced AI-ready architecture. If you're a self-starter excited about redefining how software is delivered in the financial markets, you'll find a home at Genesis.

We're charting a new path, delivering tailored solutions at scale on a standardized software architecture that accelerates AI integration with financial markets guardrails. Across the life cycle of software, we provide purpose-built solutions for the business, AI tools for builders and agentic-by-design framework for firms on the leading edge of real-world AI adoption.

To help us achieve our vision of reinventing the way financial markets organizations build software, we are looking for people who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo - people who are passionate about change.

If you are a self-starter and innovative thinker with a client-first mindset, Genesis is for you.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are growing our DevOps presence in London and looking for an experienced engineer to build our cloud automation capability.

You will work hands-on alongside the Global Head of DevOps, owning technical delivery across the full stack; from infrastructure provisioning to production pipelines, and monolithic applications to containerisation. AWS is the primary platform; GCP experience is an advantage.

The role suits someone who understands CI/CD deeply enough to both design and implement it, and who is comfortable being accountable for the outcome.

All infrastructure defined and managed via Terraform and automation. No exceptions, no click-ops.

You Will Architect and Deliver

Cloud networking (VPC, subnets, security groups / firewall rules, NAT, load balancing) on AWS and/or GCP IAM, service accounts, secrets management, security posture CI/CD pipelines — 100% automated build, test, deploy. Zero manual intervention in the delivery path. Observability stack: centralised logging, metrics, alerting, SLO/SLI definition High availability proven via load testing and failure injection, not assumed Environment promotion strategy (dev → staging → production)

You Will Have / Be:

Deep, hands-on experience with AWS (with GCP experience being a bonus) covering networking, compute, IAM, managed Kubernetes (EKS or GKE), and CI/CD tooling (CodePipeline, Cloud Build, or equivalent)
Strong Terraform skills - modules, state management, workspaces, CI-driven plan/apply
Demonstrable experience delivering production Kubernetes platforms on at least one major cloud provider
Understanding of cloud-native conventions — the delivered system must be immediately recognisable and unsurprising to any competent cloud engineer. No bespoke patterns where standard ones exist.
Proven ability to own delivery end-to-end, not just execute tickets
Based in the UK, eligible to work without sponsorship
Clear written communication and the ability to explain architectural decisions to a technical audience

What You Won't Need:

Application development. You are building the platform and pipelines, not the application. Prior experience with this specific application. Domain context will be provided. Team management. You will be expected to mentor on a one-to-one basis, but you will not carry people management responsibility.

What We Offer

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer:

Annual bonus plan

25 days annual leave

Aviva healthcare

Equity options

Training and well-being allowances

Hybrid working, working 2 days a week from our London office

95000 - 110000 GBP a year
