Devops Engineer

We're partnering with a leading investment manager and trading firm to find a DevOps Engineer to join their Security Engineering team. This is a great opportunity to work in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment where secure, reliable systems are critical to supporting trading activities and managing financial assets. In this role, you'll help build and run the infrastructure and tooling that keeps systems secure, scalable, and high-performing. You'll work closely with engineering, platform, and security teams to embed security into development and deployment processes without slowing down delivery in a time-sensitive trading environment. If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, automating processes, and improving developer experience while maintaining strong security standards, this role offers plenty of scope to make an impact.
