- **Work type:** hybrid
- **Posted:** 2026-08-24
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-23

## Job description

## WHO WE ARE

We build software exclusively for capital markets based on an advanced AI-ready architecture. If you're a self-starter excited about redefining how software is delivered in the financial markets, you'll find a home at Genesis.

We're charting a new path, delivering tailored solutions at scale on a standardized software architecture that accelerates AI integration with financial markets guardrails. Across the life cycle of software, we provide purpose-built solutions for the business, AI tools for builders and agentic-by-design framework for firms on the leading edge of real-world AI adoption.

Clients value us for our deep capital markets expertise, decades of experience delivering and operating mission-critical systems, and rigorous thinking shaping the adoption of AI at development and at run time

To help us achieve our vision of reinventing the way financial markets organizations build software, we are looking for people who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo - people who are passionate about change.

If you are a self-starter and innovative thinker with a client-first mindset, Genesis is for you.

## THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a Head of DevOps to own the platforms, infrastructure and delivery pipelines that let us ship software securely and reliably for our clients — from development through to the production systems we run on their behalf. This is a senior leadership role with a global remit, spanning our regional DevOps teams. You'll report to the Executive Vice President, Engineering, build and lead the function, set the standard every engineering team builds against, and be accountable for the reliability, security, and cost transparency of a large, multi-region cloud estate. You'll stay technical enough to review architecture credibly and make the right calls, but this is a leadership role first: your job is multiplying a team's output, not shipping code yourself. Some travel comes with the role — visiting the wider team in Bangalore from time to time — but not extended stints away from home.

## WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Owning and evolving the DevOps strategy, and translating it into a roadmap the business can plan around
- Owning the shared cloud infrastructure, tooling and delivery pipelines every engineering team builds and ships on
- Building and leading a DevOps function that spans more than one region, bringing every region to the same agreed standards
- Ensuring our infrastructure meets the security and compliance bar our clients and regulators expect, and that we can evidence it (e.g. SOC 2)
- Giving the business clear, reliable visibility into infrastructure cost, attributed by client and project
- Building a self-service platform so engineering teams can provision, build and ship independently, not queue behind DevOps
- Line-managing and growing your team, including hiring as the function scales
- Incident response and post-incident review for issues that touch shared infrastructure, working closely with Support who own day-to-day on-call

## WHAT WE OFFER

Annual salary of between £122,000 and £135,000, depending on experience

A comprehensive benefits package that includes:

- Annual bonus plan
- 25 days annual leave
- Aviva healthcare
- Equity options
- Training and well-being allowances

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Senior leadership experience owning a DevOps or platform function, ideally spanning more than one team or region A genuine track record of line-managing engineers with real accountability for their performance and development Strong technical judgement — able to assess whether what your team is building is the right shape, and raise it early Significant hands-on background building and running large-scale production systems on a major cloud platform (AWS and/or GCP) — networking, IAM, compute, managed Kubernetes, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code at scale Experience running a cloud estate that has to stand up to external audit (e.g. SOC 2) and give the business real cost visibility Clear communication — comfortable explaining architectural trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike Familiarity with containerisation and Kubernetes at a level where you can credibly review your team's architecture decisions

## Nice to Have

Experience leading a DevOps or platform function across more than one country or region Background in a client-facing or regulated services environment Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or AWS Certified Solutions Architect
