DevOps Engineer

About us

At Xelix, we work with some of the world’s largest companies to automate and strengthen their financial controls. Our AI solutions redefine how Accounts Payable teams operate – moving from manual processes to automated, intelligent workflows.

Xelix is a fast-paced scale-up – things move fast and expectations are high. We raised our Series B with Insight Partners in June 2025 and are expanding aggressively. We have a team of over 150 talented people pulling together to achieve our goals. Everyone is trusted to take ownership, move fast and have a meaningful impact. We prioritise personal and professional growth, keep things fun, and love to celebrate a milestone together.

In this role you’ll grow, be challenged and help shape the future of Xelix. If you’re excited about building something special with us, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a mid-level Dev Ops Engineer to help operate and evolve our AWS-based infrastructure. You’ll work at the intersection of infrastructure automation, application delivery, database operations, and security — using Terraform and Git Ops workflows to manage cloud resources, Git Hub Actions to power CI/CD, and Python to build the tooling that ties it all together. This role also plays a key part in our Dev Sec Ops  maturity, contributing to a cloud security improvement program and a software supply chain security initiative.

• Design, provision, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform, following Git Ops principles (infrastructure changes proposed, reviewed, and merged via pull request, then applied through automated pipelines).
• Own and evolve our Git Hub Actions CI/CD pipelines, including build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows across multiple environments.
• Manage relational database infrastructure on RDS and Aurora, including provisioning, performance tuning, backup/restore strategy, patching, and failover testing.
• Write Python-based tooling, automation scripts, and internal services to reduce manual toil and support platform operations.
• Participate in on‑call rotation, incident response, and post‑incident reviews, driving toward blameless root‑cause analysis and durable fixes.
• Implement and maintain observability across infrastructure and applications (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting).
• Apply Dev Sec Ops  practices by embedding security checks into the development lifecycle (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, container/image scanning, IaC scanning) rather than treating security as a separate gate.
• Contribute to a cloud security improvement program: hardening IAM policies, reviewing network architecture and security groups, addressing findings from tools like AWS Security Hub/Guard Duty, and tracking remediation to closure.
• Support a software supply chain security effort, including SBOM generation, dependency and artifact provenance, signing/verification of build artifacts, and vetting of third‑party actions/images used in pipelines.
• Help engineering teams to define infrastructure and deployment standards, and act as a resource for developers adopting IaC and CI/CD best practices.
• Maintain clear documentation of infrastructure, runbooks, and security procedures.

• 3–5 years of experience in a Dev Ops, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure role.
• Strong hands‑on experience with the AWS stack (e.g., EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS, Cloud Watch, Route 53).
• Proven experience managing infrastructure as code with Terraform in a team/Git Ops workflow (PR-based review, remote state, modules, work spaces).
• Practical experience with Git Ops tooling and patterns (e.g., Argo CD, Flux, or equivalent PR-driven deployment models).
• Proficiency in Python for…
