Описание

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you will design, build and operate the infrastructure that lets Alpaca scale globally and run trading-critical systems with confidence. You will have the autonomy to design and implement solutions against clearly defined goals - and a real voice in shaping those goals with the team.

Responsibilities

Design and evolve our cloud architecture on GCP - networking, interconnects, IAM and high-availability topology - and express it entirely as code with Terraform, following GitOps as a first principle
Build and own the CI/CD pipelines that plan, review, test and safely apply IaC changes - Policy-as-Code guardrails, drift detection and progressive rollout so infrastructure changes ship as confidently as application code
Advance Platform-as-a-Product: build self-serve capabilities and paved paths so engineers can provision what they need, through a golden path rather than a hand-off
Strengthen our observability stack - metrics, logs, traces and alerting across Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Loki, Tempo and Alertmanager - so the platform is easy to run and reason about
Operate our GKE clusters and the infrastructure services that run on them - Helm-packaged workloads, message brokers (RabbitMQ, IBM MQ) and data stores
Participate in our Follow-The-Sun on-call model: watch and triage alerts, join and declare incidents, lead structured debugging and escalation, and drive blameless post-mortems and the post-actions that actually close the loop
Embed SRE practices - SLIs/SLOs and error budgets, capacity planning - into how Core Infrastructure builds and operates, working closely with our SRE function

Requirements

5+ years in a DevOps, Platform/Infrastructure, or SRE role, with a proven track record operating large-scale, high-availability, high-performance systems in production
Deep hands-on experience designing cloud architecture on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the primary cloud - landing zones, networking, IAM and high-availability topology
Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills with Terraform, structuring large codebases across multiple environments, with GitOps as a first principle and least-privilege as a default mindset
Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines for IaC - automated plan/apply, code review, Policy-as-Code, drift detection and safe rollout
Significant production experience with Kubernetes (ideally GKE) and packaging/deploying workloads with Helm
Solid cloud and L3/L4-L7 networking fundamentals (VPCs, routing, load balancing, DNS, TLS, interconnects) and comfort debugging cross-service connectivity
Hands-on experience with a modern observability stack - Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Loki, Tempo and Alertmanager - across metrics, logs, traces and alerting
Operator-level familiarity with data stores such as PostgreSQL and Message Brokers (e.g. RabbitMQ, RedPanda) - able to run and troubleshoot them in production
A good understanding of SRE practices - SLOs/error budgets, capacity planning - and a Platform-as-a-Product mindset
Strong grasp of incident management end to end: joining and declaring incidents, structured debugging under pressure, escalation, clear documentation, and post-mortems that drive real change
Able and willing to take part in a Follow-The-Sun on-call rotation from APAC hours, and to work effectively in a distributed, async-first team with strong written communication

Nice to have

Policy-as-code and IaC quality tooling (OPA/Conftest, Checkov, tflint, Atlantis, or similar)
Experience managing Terraform state, module registries and versioning at scale across many teams
Experience building self-serve developer platforms and internal golden paths (e.g. with Backstage, Tilt, or similar)
Experience with the Alloy collector and with incident tooling such as Rootly
Working proficiency in Go for automation and tooling
Strong Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) and container (Docker/containerd) fundamentals
Security and compliance experience in a regulated environment (SOC 2, secrets management, audit logging)
Familiarity with trading, brokerage, or other regulated fintech domains, and with low-latency systems
