Full-Time

SymphonyAI Financial Services builds advanced AI-powered software to combat financial crime and support compliance for global banks and institutions. As we transition from our flagship platform NetReveal to a next-generation SaaS-based product suite, we're evolving our architecture to support scale, speed, and innovation in highly regulated environments.

As Senior Engineering Manager, you will lead our Cloud Engineering & DevOps group and manage four specialist teams: AWS Engineering, Azure Engineering, Containerisation (Kubernetes), and DevOps/CI‑CD.

You will own strategy, standards, and execution for multi‑cloud platforms, CI/CD, Kubernetes, reliability, security, and FinOps—directly enabling ARR growth and world‑class customer outcomes.

What You’ll Do

Strategic & Technical Leadership

• Own the multi‑cloud (AWS & Azure) platform strategy and roadmap for NetReveal, Investigation Hub, and Sensa.
• Set quarterly OKRs aligned to 2025 goals for cost, availability, velocity, security/compliance, and automation.
• Establish reference architectures, paved‑road pipelines, and reusable IaC modules to scale safely and fast.

Cloud Efficiency & FinOps

• Deliver ≥25% reduction in cloud run‑rate via rightsizing, autoscaling, reservations/savings plans, and workload placement.
• Run quarterly FinOps reviews, forecasting, and showback/chargeback with anomaly detection and optimisation backlog.
• Standardise golden IaC modules and guardrails to eliminate drift and waste. Target: savings realised by Q4 2025.

Availability & Scalability

• Maintain ≥99.99% availability across products with multi‑AZ/region redundancy, automated failover, and tested DR.
• Prove 2× current peak load handling through capacity planning and quarterly performance tests.
• Drive SRE practices (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets), incident management, and problem management.

CI/CD & Deployment Agility

• Increase deployment frequency by ≥40% while keeping rollback rate <5%; reduce lead time to production.
• Provide golden pipelines, artefact governance, and progressive delivery (blue/green, canary, feature flags).
• Adopt GitOps (Argo CD/Flux) and standard environment strategy (dev→prod) for consistent releases.

Security & Compliance

• Achieve zero critical security audit findings and 100% adherence to CIS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
• Embed DevSecOps: SBOM, image signing, secrets management, policy‑as‑code (OPA/Kyverno), and automated evidence packs.
• Run continuous vulnerability management with time‑bound SLAs; partner with Security and Compliance teams.

Automation & Operational Excellence

• Reach 80% automation of infra provisioning, deployments, monitoring, and incident remediation.
• Scale self‑service environments, runbook automation, and observability (logs, metrics, traces, SLO dashboards).
• Continuously reduce toil; measure and improve MTTR, change failure rate, and operational efficiency.

People Leadership & Talent

• Lead and coach managers/leads across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and DevOps/CI‑CD teams; establish clear roles and paths.
• Ensure each team member completes ≥2 professional certifications or advanced trainings annually; drive knowledge‑sharing.
• Build succession plans and a healthy, inclusive, high‑performance culture.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years in cloud/platform/SRE/DevOps with 4+ years leading managers or multi‑disciplinary teams.
• Hands‑on leadership operating AWS and Azure at scale (org/tenant, IAM/Entra, networking, security baselines, DR).
• Production Kubernetes (EKS/AKS): multi‑region/multi‑tenant, service mesh/ingress, admission policies, supply‑chain security.
• Infrastructure as Code & GitOps (Terraform/Terragrunt, Argo CD/Flux); container registries and artefact governance.
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins) and progressive delivery; SRE and FinOps expertise.
• Audit/compliance experience (ISO 27001, SOC 2; PCI or similar a plus); excellent stakeholder and vendor/budget governance.
• Experience of managing Cloudflare & Data Dog platforms
• Data privacy and security (DLP, tokenisation); multi‑region active/active patterns.
• Preferred/Bonus Experience: Financial services or other regulated‑industry background.
