THE COMPANY

One of South Africa's fastest growing fintech companies. They build and operate digital payment infrastructure used by thousands of merchants and consumers every day.

  • Work across Linux and Windows environments and apply deep systems knowledge to improve performance, stability and security.
  • Reduce manual effort through automation and infrastructure as code to ensure reliable and consistent deployments.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, QA, architecture and security teams to ensure all services run on a secure and dependable foundation.
  • Guide teams on containerisation, Kubernetes, event driven patterns, cloud architectures and secure by design practices.
  • Support the organisation's cloud native evolution toward serverless compute, container orchestration and fully automated workflows.

THE REQUIREMENTS
