Senior DevOps Engineer
Project description
The project is a strategic initiative to deliver a new FX Swaps clearing capability, enabling atomic processing of swap packages within a highly regulated, low\-latency clearing environment.
The platform operates under strict resilience, latency ( 10 seconds SLA), and regulatory (EMIR) constraints. The DevOps function will play a critical role in ensuring high availability, automation, continuous delivery, and operational resilience, while supporting a transition towards cloud\-enabled infrastructure.
This is a mission\-critical system requiring Cat 5 resilience, robust CI/CD pipelines, strong monitoring, and disaster recovery capabilities.
The solution will initially be deployed on\-prem, with future migration to AWS (multi\-AZ, multi\-region).
