DevOps Engineer – Payments Platform & Technology Controls

At Mindbox we connect top IT talents with technology projects for leading enterprises across Europe. 

 

Join our client’s team, where you’ll play a key role in shaping the reliability and continuous improvement of a mission-critical SEPA payments technology estate. Your contribution will help deliver high-impact solutions in financial services – real-time payment platforms supporting EU and UK markets.

 

You’ll step in as a DevOps & Technology Controls Engineer, working closely with payments and engineering teams, L1 support, DBAs, and stakeholders across the globe to own the reliability, change delivery, and operational excellence of complex payment infrastructure spanning IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM MQ, Oracle, Kubernetes microservices, and SFTP integrations. Your role will be central to platform availability, CI/CD pipelines, incident management, security patching, and service governance – not just execution.

Sounds like your kind of challenge?

  • Engage in IT Service Oversight and governance activities (including risk assessments, documentation, and audit readiness).
  • Communicate clearly across teams and stakeholders; coordinate incident and change management effectively.

  • Strong operational knowledge of Oracle from an application/platform perspective (connectivity, performance triage, HA/DR concepts)
  • Experience in SQL and Linux
  • CI/CD and automation capability – Git-based workflows, scripting in Bash/Python, configuration management/IaC
  • Strong experience with IBM MQ support and troubleshooting (including TLS security and performance)
  • Strong experience supporting IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) in production

  • Observability and troubleshooting strength: logs, metrics, traces, performance tuning
  • Familiarity with Agile & DevOps tools (Jira, Confluence, GitHub, SharePoint)
