Senior DevOps Engineer (GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform)
A fast-growing fintech in Milan is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of a cloud-native platform running on Google Cloud Platform, built on Kubernetes, Terraform and Flux CD.
The challenge
This is the first full-time DevOps hire. The infrastructure exists and works, but the practices around it are still being defined. You will assess the current IaC implementation, close the gap between test and production, and set the standard for how the platform is deployed, observed and recovered. The product handles financial operations for thousands of SMEs, so reliability and compliance are not optional extras.
️ Responsibilities
- Own the cloud infrastructure end to end: reliability, scalability and security posture.
- Assess the existing Terraform implementation and replicate best practices from test to production.
- Optimize and automate CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Flux CD.
- Strengthen the observability framework (Prometheus, Grafana, Google-native tooling, OpenTelemetry).
- Draft and implement disaster recovery plans for core infrastructure components.
- Partner with the Payments, Onboarding and Billing teams to build resilience and recovery into their applications.
- Drive cost optimization and performance tuning across GCP services.
- Document infrastructure, operational procedures and architectural decisions.
- Act as the internal reference for DevOps practices and mentor the wider tech team.
- Keep the platform aligned with regulatory and security compliance requirements, including external audit readiness.
✅ Requirements
- 4+ years in DevOps, SRE or Software Engineering roles with strong operational exposure.
- Extensive hands-on GCP experience: GKE, Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Monitoring.
- Terraform at production scale.
- Docker and Kubernetes.
- CI/CD design and implementation, ideally with GitHub Actions.
- Monitoring and logging with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.
- Experience with distributed systems.
- Strong troubleshooting across application, network (TCP/IP) and system layers.
- Fluent English.
Nice to have
- Event-driven architectures with Pub/Sub or Kafka.
- Performance and cost optimization in high-traffic environments.
- MLOps.
- Background in regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, crypto).
- Node.js or TypeScript for automation and tooling.
Why this project
You are not joining an established DevOps function, you are building it. Full ownership of the platform, direct access to the engineering leadership, and a long-term collaboration on a modern GCP stack in a regulated fintech environment.
