DevOps (AWS Platform & Software Engineering)
Location: London (Hybrid: 3 days per week in-office)
Tech Stack: AWS, Terragrunt/Terraform, GitLab CI, Python, SQL
Morgan McKinley has partnered with a fast-growing, highly profitable proprietary trading firm in London. They combine institutional-grade market platforms with proprietary, in-house front-office trading systems. Operating with a flat structure and an "80/20" pragmatic mindset, they focus heavily on high-impact automation over corporate bureaucracy.
This role is ideal for an ambitious engineer with 3 to 5 years of experience who has mastered core infrastructure but wants to lean further into software automation, internal tooling, and data engineering - positioning themselves for a rapid trajectory into a Senior Engineer role.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
- Infrastructure as Code: Own, scale, and evolve multi-environment AWS infrastructure natively using Terragrunt and Terraform.
- Data & Orchestration: Maintain production Kubernetes (EKS) clusters, alongside managing data layers including Postgres (Aurora), MongoDB, and Kafka streams.
- Software Tooling: Write clean automation scripts, internal platform tools, and targeted database fixes using Python and SQL to streamline the delivery lifecycle.
- CI/CD & Observability: Build out robust deployment pipelines in GitLab CI and leverage Datadog to optimize system reliability and reduce operational firefighting.
