About the role
I’m partnering with several established and high-growth organisations across the payments and FinTech sector that are investing in their cloud and platform engineering capabilities.

- Improving platform reliability, security and developer experience
- Supporting cloud migrations and wider infrastructure-modernisation programmes
- Working closely with engineering, architecture and information-security teams
Your experience
- Strong contract experience across DevOps, Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering or SRE
- Hands-on cloud expertise across AWS, Azure or GCP
- Kubernetes and containerisation
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
- CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
- Scripting or programming with Python, Bash, Go or similar
- Strong understanding of production reliability, security and observability
- Payments, FinTech, banking or broader financial-services experience is highly desirable
These opportunities will initially be offered as six-month contracts, with extensions possible depending on the project.
