## Job description

Hiire is helping a global financial technology firm, which recently opened its office in Lisbon, hire a Lead Infrastructure Engineer.

### The company:

We are a global financial technology firm that solves complex data-driven challenges faced by some of the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions. We continually innovate our platform and capabilities to meet tomorrow’s challenges, anticipate the risks our clients encounter, and design advanced solutions to help them achieve transformational business outcomes.

Financial technology is a high-growth industry as change and innovation continue to disrupt the status quo and prompt major transformation. We are at a particularly interesting time in our own growth as we look to leverage our successfully established market position and expand operations in pursuit of strategic new business opportunities.

We value intellectual curiosity, proactive ownership, and collaboration with colleagues, and we empower you to meaningfully contribute from day one and accelerate your professional development.

### Role Overview:

We seek an accomplished Lead Infrastructure Engineer to join our Infrastructure team.

All Infrastructure Engineers are coders and technology generalists who bring their unique combination of breadth and depth of experience and knowledge to the team.

As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you’re passionate about providing the foundation and capabilities to our application developers to build upon, and love to solve problems with creative multi-disciplinary, polyglot, and/or open-source solutions. You can work independently, demonstrating “high agency” in your work, but you’ll balance your independence with leveraging the team and working with outside stakeholders as needed.

### What You'll Do:

- Engineer our Linux compute platform based on Kubernetes and AWS;

- Engineer our Python and Terraform-based tools and automation;

- Build infrastructure applications, write, and review code as needed;

- Solve problems with a combination of coding and implementation of open source tools;

- Troubleshoot and debug complex systems;

- Leverage our design, coding, automation, and implementation skills to engineer what we need, solving business and technology problems.

### What You'll Bring:

- We prefer 5+ years of relevant infrastructure experience. However, we are interested more in what you’ve done, can do, and can grow to do, rather than the number of years you’ve been working;

- You have owned and operated critical infrastructure systems like Linux, Kubernetes, DNS, Kerberos, and/or AWS IAM;

- Polyglot programming capability, with advanced-level Python ability (other languages in our ecosystem include Java, Go, and Bash);

- Experience with running critical workloads on AWS;

- Ability to balance delivery with correctness, delivering timely solutions that are properly risk-managed for the needs of the business;

- You have an inquisitive mind, the ability to learn and problem-solve, and are a self-starter;

- A bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, ora related discipline is required;

- Have a valid work permit to work in the country.

### Why Join Us:

### We offer:

- Flexible work arrangements (hybrid model) and a casual dress code;

- Opportunity to work on challenging projects in a dynamic, global environment;

- Continuous learning and development opportunities;

- Collaborative and innovative work culture;

- Competitive compensation and benefits package;

- A permanent and direct contract;

- Modern and comfortable office located at Avenida da Liberdade (Lisbon).

Join our team and play a crucial role in shaping our future!

**Live in Hiire’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
