Senior DevOps Engineer
Scope of Role:
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will improve the technical infrastructure of Bamboo’s platforms that facilitate money movement and exchange of value while also fueling growth for our business. You will use your deep understanding of cloud architecture and deployment tools to analyze current systems, formulate more efficient processes, solve complex infrastructure problems, and create a highly reliable experience for users. You will bring senior-level infrastructure and security expertise to the team, lead technical specifications, participate in weekly team syncs, and ensure safe, efficient scaling. As a senior Individual Contributor, your role is central to anchoring the engineering execution of critical infrastructure projects. You will act as a technical multiplier, taking on high-impact implementations and ensuring that technical delivery aligns with our security and strict uptime goals.
What you will be doing:
Work with product managers and engineers across Bamboo on project definition, technical specification, delivery, monitoring, and maintenance as we scale Bamboo’s products.
Architect, build, and deploy highly resilient infrastructure, taking lead ownership of our Cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and clusters.
Drive proactive monitoring, capacity planning, and infrastructure management to ensure a 99.9% system uptime across all core services, ensuring our systems never break because of scale.
Safely leverage AI tools within your daily infrastructure and automation workflows to model faster delivery practices for the broader DevOps team, ensuring all AI-assisted configurations adhere strictly to Bamboo's data sovereignty and security standards.
Maintain, optimize, and oversee self-hosted tooling and automation workflows.
Write exemplary, secure, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) that can be easily understood and used by others.
Actively mentor junior and mid-level DevOps engineers through pair sessions, knowledge sharing, and authoring RFCs, increasing the team's capabilities without taking on formal managerial tracking.
Help establish engineering processes, tools, and systems (like rigorous post-mortems and disaster recovery drills) that will allow Bamboo to scale securely.
Carry out security hardening activities (such as routine secrets rotation and network isolation) to reduce vulnerabilities and minimize attack surfaces.
Monitor system performance and optimize cloud spend through right-sizing and architectural improvements.
Stay continuously up to date with industry trends, global reports on breaches, and emerging attack vectors, thoroughly analyzing these trends to architect preemptive mitigation and system-hardening strategies.
Who You Are
You have 4+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure roles in the fintech industry or on a scaling consumer product.
Demonstrated mastery of modern infrastructure stack like AWS, GCP, Kubernetes orchestration, and Docker containers.
Deep understanding of CI/CD frameworks (e.g., GitLab CI), self-hosted observability tools, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible).
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to partner closely with other cross functional teams.
A passion for clean, testable infrastructure code and a relentless drive to optimize system performance and reliability.
You are proficient with using git and GitHub/GitLab to manage configurations securely and find existing software to solve problems.
You are a rockstar with project management/software tools: Jira, Notion, Gsuite.
You are known for being a highly self-directed problem solver. You do not focus on just fixing bugs, but you mitigate entire classes of problems.
You are a skilled communicator to both technical and non-technical audiences, and are known to articulate complex technical trade-offs clearly.
You appreciate direct communication. You are both an active communicator and an eager listener.
You appreciate candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
You have a “can do” attitude. Owning a problem does not scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving the Bamboo mission.
You are never tired of learning.
