Senior DevOps Engineer

A great opportunity has opened for a Senior DevOps Engineer for a leading Financial Services Client of ours in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Contract Duration: 24+ months (2 year project)

Start date: April (flexible)

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Working Pattern: Hybrid

Hours: 40

What you will do:

You will need to be able to configure and think outside the box on how to maintain and efficiently utilize our YML pipelines. Automate where things can be automated.

Since our detection system needs specific monitoring, you will be expected to pitch in to enhance our monitoring from certificate updates to loss of incoming data. With your Java skillset you will also be expected to enhance our infrastructure together with your teammates and the Grid.

• Operations work: pro-active monitoring of our infrastructure, making sure everything stays up and running and improving the observability whenever possible. Example: adding new dashboards in Grafana or adding alerts on things as an improvement after previous incidents, i.e. making sure these incidents don't happen again without us knowing it in advance and being able to act on it.
• Solving technical debt / increasing automation: getting rid of technical debt and implementing solutions that are optimized for maintainability and robustness. Example: all infrastructure-as-code and automating manual tasks (like certificate creation, patching pipelines, etc).

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with a strong background in:
