Head of DevOps

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.

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 the UK from time to time — but not extended stints away from home.

• 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
