Project Overview & Engagement Profile
The cooperation involves maintaining, scaling, and optimising core on-premise infrastructure for a major global investment bank. The primary focus centers on driving the reliability and efficiency of essential developer tools and services — including Jenkins, BitBucket, and BuildBarn — for an on-prem installation serving a user base of over 10,000 developers. The delivery of services relies on strong system administration, deep networking knowledge, and automation. While 99% of the infrastructure is Linux-based, cross-ecosystem support covering Linux, Windows, and macOS environments is required. For engagements at a Senior level, the scope extends to leading the diagnosis and resolution of complex performance bottlenecks across this large-scale infrastructure.
Required Expertise and Capabilities:
- At least 5 years of commercial experience in software engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, with a strong interest in working on infrastructure.
- Strong proficiency in Python (clean, maintainable code, automation, backend services), plus Bash scripting.
- Proven track record of designing and optimising CI/CD pipelines, ideally with hands-on experience managing on-premise developer tools (Jenkins, BitBucket, BuildBarn).
- Solid background in Linux administration and a good understanding of networking (DNS, firewalls, VLANs).
- Hands-on experience with Docker and container registry management.
- Strong analytical skills for diagnosing and solving performance problems at scale, including tracking capacity and system metrics.
- English language proficiency at a minimum B2/C1 level.
Nice to have:
- Python web frameworks (FastAPI, Flask) and SQL/NoSQL databases.
- Performance, stress, or latency testing.
- PowerShell / Windows administration, macOS support.
- Experience in large-scale Enterprise or financial environments.
