About the Job

Requirements

  • Professional-level certification, such as AWS Solutions Architect Professional or Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
  • Deep expertise in VPC/VNET peering, VPN tunnels, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, and advanced load balancing.
  • A proven track record of implementing Zero-Trust architectures, identity and access management at scale, and complex encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit.
  • Extensive experience designing financial systems, with a focus on audit trails, data residency, and risk mitigation.
  • Mastery of microservices, containerization including Kubernetes/EKS/AKS, and serverless paradigms.
  • Ability to influence C-suite executives while maintaining technical credibility with deep-level engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Create comprehensive High-Level and Low-Level Design documents for web and mobile-backend applications, prioritizing high availability and seamless disaster recovery.
  • Establish and maintain organizational structures across cloud providers, managing environment segregation via subnets, Azure Resource Groups, and AWS accounts/organizations under the Principle of Least Privilege.
  • Architect network topologies including Hub-and-Spoke, Private Link, and Transit Gateways, and integrate WAF/DDoS protection so sensitive banking data avoids the public internet.
  • Act as the lead technical liaison to Cybersecurity, Data Management, and Corporate Risk teams, defending designs to ensure compliance with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and central bank mandates.
  • Drive Total Cost of Ownership optimization by selecting appropriate SKUs, including Reserved Instances, Spot, and Premium tiers, and enforcing tagging policies for departmental billing.
  • Mentor Platform and DevOps engineers, ensuring Infrastructure-as-Code implementations using Terraform mirror architectural blueprints.
  • Bridge complex data science and actionable business value, build trust with stakeholders, articulate the rationale behind technical decisions, and present and advocate for technical vision.

Desired Qualifications

  • Translate technical debt or risks into business-impact language for non-technical leadership.
  • Mentor DevOps and Engineering teams and elevate their technical standards through peer reviews and workshops.
  • Proactively identify emerging cloud trends, including AI integration and advanced automation, that could provide a competitive edge in fintech.

About the Company

Deeplight

Coherent, compact lasers for space LiDAR

DeepLight develops highly coherent, compact lasers tailored for space research and laser technology applications. Its lasers span the visible and near-infrared spectrum and feature exceptional frequency agility to support advanced applications, including long-range coherent LiDAR. The products rely on a combination of compact light sources and integrated photonics, including MEMS-based ultrafast acousto-optic modulation, enabling fast, precise control of laser light. Unlike many competitors, DeepLight emphasizes tight coherence, high linearity, and integration with MEMS for rapid modulation, supported by collaborations with major space agencies like the European Space Agency and revenue streams from technology sales and tech-transfer funding. The company's goal is to commercialize its laser technology for space research, communication protocols, and fibre sensing, accelerating the deployment of next-generation laser sources in science and industry.
