Talent Booster (via Hiire) is helping a global financial technology firm, which recently opened its office in Lisbon, hire a Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Distributed Systems.
The company:
We are a global financial technology firm that solves complex data-driven challenges faced by some of the world's most sophisticated financial institutions. We continually innovate our platform and capabilities to meet tomorrow's challenges, anticipate the risks our clients encounter, and design advanced solutions to help them achieve transformational business outcomes.
Financial technology is a high-growth industry as change and innovation continue to disrupt the status quo and prompt major transformation. We are at a particularly interesting time in our own growth as we look to leverage our successfully established market position and expand operations in pursuit of strategic new business opportunities.
We value intellectual curiosity, proactive ownership, and collaboration with colleagues, and we empower you to meaningfully contribute from day one and accelerate your professional development.
Role Overview:
We seek an accomplished Lead Infrastructure Engineer to join our Infrastructure team.
All Infrastructure Engineers are coders and technology generalists who bring their unique combination of breadth and depth of experience and knowledge to the team.
As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you're passionate about providing the foundation and capabilities to our application developers to build upon, and love to solve problems with creative multi-disciplinary, polyglot, and/or open-source solutions. You can work independently, demonstrating "high agency" in your work, but you'll balance your independence with leveraging the team and working with outside stakeholders as needed.
What You'll Do:
Own the distributed systems ecosystem that powers our SaaS API-driven business, relied upon by our customers around the world;
Construct innovative infrastructure systems, applications, and tools that streamline and enhance how our applications interoperate;
Take ownership of our critical technology infrastructure -- built on top of multiple underlying technologies, tools, and programming languages;
Provide highly available, reliable critical services to our customer-facing applications and developers.
What You'll Bring:
5+ years of relevant infrastructure experience preferred, but what truly matters to us is your demonstrated ownership of critical systems, potential for continued growth, and your ability to make an impact;
Demonstrated desire to take ownership of critical systems and successfully deliver systems and features;
Experience with either Linux, Kubernetes, DNS, Kerberos, or AWS, we are looking for candidates who aspire to manage and operate vital polyglot infrastructure systems;
Advanced proficiency in Python and an eagerness to work with languages like Java, Go, and Bash as needed;
Experience in running critical workloads in AWS is a definite plus;
Advanced knowledge and demonstrated experience with HTTP and other network protocols, load balancing, ALBs, nginx, Apache httpd, Kubernetes ingress, Kerberos, SAML, and other SSO technologies, authentication, and authorization;
Ability to craft reliable and performant solutions to problems using a combination of software you write and open-source technology;
Display a curious mind, enthusiasm for technology infrastructure, a knack for problem-solving, and the drive to take initiative and work with the right combination of independence and collaboration;
A bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related discipline is required.
Why Join Us:
We offer:
Flexible work arrangements (hybrid model) and a casual dress code;
Opportunity to work on challenging projects in a dynamic, global environment;
Continuous learning and development opportunities;
Collaborative and innovative work culture;
Competitive compensation and benefits package;
A permanent and direct contract;
Modern and comfortable office located at Avenida da Liberdade (Lisbon).
