Craft and maintain the technology backbone that powers Ophelos.
You'll build the platform that empowers financial health for consumers and businesses. DevOps at its core — Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, AWS, security. Your work directly determines how reliably and fast our engineers ship, and how stable our systems are for our customers. Aligned with our vision of a financially educated and equal world.
See the roleNo one is the finished article — but some experience matters for this role. Here's what we're really looking for.
Strong understanding of Kubernetes and containerisation (Docker). Comfortable with GitOps practices and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi). You've built and run production K8s estates, not just touched them.
Proficient with deployment pipelines — CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Argo. Familiar with AWS-based infrastructure (EKS, RDS, ElastiCache, Kinesis) and grounded in networking/DNS fundamentals (OSI layers).
Experience with security operations and best practices — vulnerability management, incident response, security monitoring. You think about platform stability, uptime, and error rates as primary success metrics, not afterthoughts.
You'll craft and maintain the technology backbone that powers Ophelos. Your DevOps expertise is what enables our engineers to ship reliably, our infra to scale, and our systems to stay secure and fast. Success is measured concretely: reduced deployment times, systems stability (uptime, error rates), and positive feedback from the teams you serve.
A typical day mixes building, supporting, and shipping. You might be improving a CI/CD pipeline, debugging an EKS rollout, responding to a Datadog alert, or pairing with a product engineer on a deployment problem. Regular time goes into IaC (Terraform/Pulumi), GitOps workflows, and security tooling. Three days a week you're in the Liverpool Street office with Simon, Wayne, and Dhyan — the platform crew. LLM tooling (Claude Code, Codex, OpenSpec) is part of how the wider org works; you'll use it day-to-day and help shape how it shows up in platform work.
Every company says they use AI. The real question: if you removed it, would the product still work? At Ophelos, the answer is no — the core of what we do (deciding who to contact, how, and when) leverages AI systems and machine learning. It's not a rules engine with a chatbot bolted on.
The stack is Claude-native end to end. Engineers use Claude Code and VS Code as their primary environment, with AI embedded at every stage — writing, reviewing, debugging, refactoring. The product itself runs on the same stack: a purpose-built AgentOS powered by Agno, routing to Claude and OpenAI through an internal LLM gateway. Specs and designs are drafted with AI before code; engineers use a structured workflow where AI helps write proposals, technical designs, and task lists — it's a partner on architecture, not just a code completer.
Four stages, designed to be a real conversation rather than a series of hoops. We aim to come back within 48 hours after each round.
