DevOps Engineer

About the project

• Solutions project can be defined as a kind of company inside a company. We are creating highly demanded Fintech products used by the largest financial institutions in the world (banks, exchanges, investment funds, etc.).
• The product contains ETL backend which is processing large amounts of data generating market alerts and analytics, and web browser frontend which shows all this data in user-friendly format and gives possibilities to customize and configure it.
• For customers, we offer different types of implementation — Hosted Solution, which is being hosted on our side; PaaS, which is being hosted in the customer's cloud and Deployed Solution, which can be deployed on the customer's on-prem infrastructure. We are automating everything to make the installation and configuring process for the customer as easy as possible and reduce the need for support to a minimum.

About the development

• The main programming language both for infrastructure and application is Python. Also, we're using bash for some kinds of tasks. You will work with a very strong team, where you won't need to explain to Developers what Kubernetes is or how Docker works, and top management also has a really strong technical background.
