Our advanced, multi-cloud platform delivers real-time data, unmatched scalability, and the flexibility of shared or dedicated processing instances. It’s this global reach and innovation that sets us apart.

We’re looking for a Data Ops Engineer to join our Data Engineering team and help build a modern data platform from the ground up. This is a greenfield opportunity focused on infrastructure, automation, and observability, playing a critical role in enabling reliable, scalable, and secure data systems.

This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer with strong Dev Ops fundamentals who is eager to deepen their expertise in data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and observability within a high-impact, global fintech environment.

What you get to do::
  • Design and implement cloud infrastructure for a modern data platform using Infrastructure as Code, with a strong focus on scalability, security, and reliability.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support data engineering workflows and infrastructure deployments.
  • Implement and operate observability solutions including monitoring, logging, metrics, and alerting to ensure platform reliability and fast incident response.
  • Collaborate closely with data engineers to translate platform and workflow requirements into robust infrastructure solutions.
  • Apply best practices for availability, disaster recovery, and cost efficiency, while documenting infrastructure patterns and operational procedures.
What you can look forward to::

At Paymentology, it’s not just about building great payment technology, it’s about building a company where people feel they belong and their work matters. You’ll be part of a diverse, global team that’s genuinely committed to making a positive impact through what we do. Whether you’re working across time zones or getting involved in initiatives that support local communities, you’ll find real purpose in your work - and the freedom to grow in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
