Description For Senior DevOps Engineer

Abound is an innovative fintech company revolutionizing the lending industry through Open Banking technology. With over £800 million in loans provided, they're making affordable credit accessible to those often overlooked by traditional lenders. The company operates both a consumer-facing platform (Abound) and a B2B solution (Render), their award-winning SaaS platform.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Abound, you'll be instrumental in scaling and maintaining their cloud infrastructure using cutting-edge technologies like AWS, Docker, and Python. The role requires a seasoned professional with 7+ years of experience who can balance technical expertise with business objectives. You'll be responsible for everything from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipeline optimization to security implementation and cost optimization.

The ideal candidate will bring deep AWS expertise, strong infrastructure-as-code experience, and excellent problem-solving abilities. You'll work with a modern tech stack including AWS services (ECS, RDS, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch), CloudFormation, CDK, Docker, GitLab, and Python. Being based in Shenzhen, fluency in both Chinese and English is essential for effective collaboration.

This is an excellent opportunity for a DevOps professional who wants to make a real impact in the fintech space, working with a company that's already proven its success in the market and is now expanding globally. You'll be part of a mission to democratize access to affordable credit while working with modern technologies and solving interesting technical challenges.
