We are looking for a server side devops engineer to join the team in London to help improve our Devops function, whilst adding another pair of skilled hands to take some of the workload from the two incumbent team members in London. There is also an opportunity for this role to take on leadership responsibilities for the devops function globally if the right hire can be found. We're looking for an experienced hire, although seniority level is flexible between senior and lead, we have a few must haves and a load of nice to haves on the spec below which help to show the technology we currently work with. There is also a lot of opportunity at CoinFLEX to bring in new technologies as we are highly progressive. We run a highly complex, high performance and mission critical set of systems which are live and trading all day, every day. This hire needs to be someone who is comfortable with this and the workload and odd hours it can sometimes bring, whilst this hire is aimed at alleviating the pressure on availability across the group, sometimes it will be 'all hands to the pump' to get things done.

This is an opportunity to make a profound difference to an emerging market sector, for example, if you work in the relatively mature equities or fiat FX markets, any work you do will very likely make an intangible difference to the markets or market infrastructure when compared with the gains which are to be made in the relatively infant cryptocurrency market infrastructure, particularly within the derivatives markets. We are doing what we consider to be ground breaking and important work, however we want to have fun along the way so we have an informal yet professional atmosphere where people are encouraged to speak up. We have Bi-weekly company wide stand up meetings to aid communication and the overall cohesive growth of the already globally distributed business across Europe and Asia. We also offer flexible working hours and partial working from home as necessary. Apply for this job Remind me later Or, know someone who would be a perfect fit? Let them know!
