Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Electrum Payments Full time

About Electrum

Electrum is an exciting B2B tech company. We partner with some of South Africa's biggest household names, enabling them to open up their customers' access to payments and digital goods and services. We love that the projects we work on touch the lives of millions of South Africans every day, making a real difference.

We hire the best of the best and we offer great opportunities for both personal growth and career progression.

The Role

As a Cloud Engineer, you'll be responsible for provisioning and maintaining Electrum's most mission critical cloud-based production systems. This will involve working closely with Engineering teams to ensure that the technical requirements for moving projects into production are met, as well as ensuring monitoring and alerting feedback loops of critical infrastructure is constantly improved.

You understand that failure is unavoidable, and will help to constantly improve Electrum's incident response handling. You'll also be involved in project management activities such as ensuring deadlines are met and end user expectations are maintained. Your role may involve working with third party vendors on technology solutions or providing support during customer implementations of new software products or applications.

This is a fast moving industry and we know that you will need to keep yourself up-to-date with new advances in technologies and to stay relevant with required certifications: you will have access to a generous training and education allowance dedicated to furthering your skill sets. You will also have the opportunity to gain deep knowledge of payments technology along with further developing your service delivery and cloud technology expertise.

Responsibilities

  • Deployment, automation, management, and maintenance of AWS cloud-based production systems.
  • Ensuring availability, performance, security, and scalability of AWS production systems.
  • Managing and administrating Linux environments.
  • Evaluation of new technology alternatives and vendor products.
  • System troubleshooting and problem resolution across the cloud infrastructure stack.
  • Provision of critical system security by leveraging best practices and prolific cloud security solutions.
  • Providing recommendations for architecture and process improvements.
  • Implementation of security protocols by evaluating business strategies and requirements.
  • Maintenance and management of tools for automation of different operational processes.
  • Definition, deployment and management of metrics, logging, monitoring and alerting.
  • Updating job knowledge by tracking and understanding emerging practices and standards; participating in educational opportunities; reading professional publications and participating in professional organisations.
  • Leading and growing a Cloud Engineering team.

Requirements

  • 2+ years experience with AWS Cloud Services.
  • 2+ years experience in Infrastructure, Software Development and DevOps.
  • 2+ years experience with Linux operating systems.
  • Associate / Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, Systems Engineering, IT Engineering.
  • AWS certifications required (SysOps Administrator is preferred)

Advantageous for the role:

  • Experience in Java or a similar object oriented programming language is beneficial.
  • Experience in financial services or banking organisations.
  • Experience working in a team lead role.
  • Experience in engineering data pipelines such as Apache Kafka.
  • Experience with ELK or similar on Public Cloud Platforms.
  • Experience developing and supporting infrastructure and Cloud capabilities for container-orchestration architectures.
  • Experience working with scripting and provisioning tools like Ansible, CloudFormation or equivalent.
  • Experience with configuration of VPN and firewall management.
  • Experience with authentication and authorization technologies and protocols (LDAP, Kerberos, AD, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML).

Benefits

We have created an high-performance culture where you can expect:

  • Career growth - Delivering world-class financial services software products in a fast-paced company is not easy, and it takes an insane amount of effort. But in return for your effort you'll get hands-on experience working on products that are used by millions of people, and a high quality work experience that will accelerate your career faster than anywhere else.
  • Transparency - We openly discuss strategy, finances, salaries and other major decisions.
  • Autonomy - We know you'll be able to make good decisions if you have good information, and we trust you.
  • Shared Vision - You'll be able to shape a vision you can believe in - on how to build the future of financial services.
  • Work-life balance - You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a hike or coffee shop with a view, but you also know when your team needs help to bring that strategic deliverable home. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve that time out, and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done.

These are few practical ways we practise the culture we are so proud of:

  • Flexible work hours
  • Onsite gym and shower facilities
  • Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the afternoon nibbles
  • Team socialising like hikes, getaways, and dinners
  • A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year
  • A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and an Oculus
  • Fatsaks scattered around the office for deep thinking or meditation

If this sounds like a role and place where you can spread your wings, please apply now.

We have created a safe, transparent environment where:

  • We know mistakes happen, and that's okay. We even have a three-step approach to dealing with them:
  1. Tell everyone about it
  2. Fix the mistake
  3. Tell everyone about the solution
  • You are responsible for your actions – both the successes and the failures
  • We talk openly about salaries and bonuses. At Electrum, we believe it's evident why some people earn more and others a bit less. It's like being on a sports team where salaries are widely known.
