* Design, build, and continuously enhance CI/CD pipelines for backend services and terminal software using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent.
* Embed security controls into delivery pipelines, including SAST (Fortify), SCA, and DAST, enabling strong shift-left security practices.
* Implement secure secrets and key management, covering key lifecycle controls, HSM integration, and cryptographic interface handling.
* Ensure platform deployments meet regulatory, audit, and PCI governance requirements.
* Build and operate Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, and manage containerised platforms with Kubernetes and Helm.
* Provision and maintain development, test, and production environments, ensuring stability and consistency across all stages.
* Govern configuration management and secure handling of environment-specific settings.
* Design and execute release strategies for terminal ecosystems, including blue/green, canary, and phased deployments.
* Manage artefact repositories such as Nexus or Artifactory, supporting controlled, auditable releases.
* Establish observability through monitoring, logging, and tracing using tools including Splunk, Dynatrace, Prometheus, and Grafana.
* Define SLIs and SLOs, lead incident response, and drive post-incident reviews and continuous improvement.
* Lead performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimisation initiatives across cloud or cloud-native environments.
* Embed automated testing (unit, integration, contract, end-to-end) into CI/CD pipelines and support device-farm or emulator-based testing for terminal images.
* Collaborate closely with platform, security, product, QA, Android/terminal engineering, and operations teams to ensure release readiness and environment stability.
* Provide clear technical updates, risk assessments, and delivery status to programme and senior stakeholders.
Experience
* Proven hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles within large-scale enterprise environments, ideally in payments, fintech, or POS domains.
* Strong background in designing and operating modern CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks.
* Practical experience integrating security tooling such as Fortify, SCA, and DAST into regulated delivery environments.
* Advanced expertise with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and container-based deployment architectures.
* Experience designing and supporting backend systems common to payment ecosystems, including:
* Java, Kotlin, Spring, and microservices-based architectures
* RESTful APIs
* Kafka or other message bus technologies
* Relational and NoSQL data stores
* Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash, Groovy, or comparable languages.
