  • Lead production incident response across product and engineering, and own response time and MTTR
  • Set and enforce security policies for financial data, in line with industry and cyber regulations
  • Hire, coach and lead a team of 7 to 10 DevOps and SRE engineers

  • 10+ years of professional experience, with 5+ in formal leadership in financial services or banking, including managing at least one manager
  • Strong DevOps and SRE practice: CI/CD, automated incident response, reliability engineering
  • Large-scale GCP or AWS, microservices, load balancing and networking
  • Hands-on Docker and Kubernetes, plus Kafka, Redis and MySQL
  • Clear communication across development, operations and security

Good to know

  • Remote from Egypt, Jordan, Poland or Kazakhstan, with 1 to 3 weeks in Jakarta every quarter, fully sponsored.
  • The team works on Jakarta time (GMT+7), so early starts are part of the job.
  • One-year renewable contract with international medical insurance.
  • Ajaib's products include crypto, forex, margin trading and interest-based lending. You'd work on them directly.
