DevOps

The ever-competitive DevOps talent market is entering a new era – is your business prepared? Persistent skill gaps and widespread digital transformation are proving difficult to navigate for today’s hiring managers, especially when it comes to hiring DevOps engineers.

DevOps is the workflow management philosophy that changed tech jobs forever back in 2007. Seventeen (or so) years later, the once-radical way of working is still evolving.

It’s evolving quickly too, making it tough to pinpoint the kind of talent that will suit your company’s unique needs. Thankfully, the specialist DevOps recruiters at Trust in SODA have a wealth of experience in connecting top DevOps talent with the opportunities they need to shine. 

This means helping leaders design their workplace for difference. DevOps is an inherently intersectional way of working that thrives on diversity – it’s what inspired us to launch our Women in DevOps community back in 2017!

When you partner with Trust in SODA, you gain access to our global community network, enabling you to broaden the talent pool like never before. If you’re looking for consistency, speed, quality, diversity, and sustainability in your hiring partner, our DevOps specialists have you covered.

Staff Systems Engineer - Warsaw / Belgrade
Startup pace. Enterprise scale. Full ownership from first line of code to production. This is the rare combination most engineers spend their careers looking for. The Opportunity This is a Senior or Staff Systems Engineer role inside a high-growth fintech operating at the cutting edge of autonomous banking infrastructure. You'll be embedded in a small, senior engineering team building the transaction layer that hundreds of millions of banking operations run on every single day. The work is hard in the best way. You're building the systems that have to be correct under pressure, predictable under load, and resilient to failure at a scale most engineers never get near. What You'll OwnTransaction Processing — Safe, reliable transaction flows that behave correctly even under retries, partial failures, and edge cases that break lesser systemsPerformance — Profile and optimise the hot paths. Keep p95/p99 latency predictable. Make throughput scale. The 1% slowest transactions matter as much as the averageReliability & Observability — Own production end-to-end. Build the metrics, tracing, alerting, and incident readiness that keeps things running when it countsAI-Native Engineering — Use and shape AI-assisted workflows for debugging, operations, and developer productivity.

Adam HicksAdam Hicks
Greater London, South East, England
Full-Stack Engineer (Node, React)
Most "AI engineering" roles right now involve slapping a basic wrapper around a generic API and calling it a day. This isn't one of those..We are partnering with an exceptionally high-performing, newly funded (£3M pre-seed) FinTech start-up that is building actual agentic AI systems. Instead of trying to force users onto a shiny new platform they don't want, our client embeds custom AI sub-agents natively right where financial advisors and accountants already live: Microsoft Excel. By automating tedious, spreadsheet-heavy workflows and complex compliance calculations, they are saving global professional services firms hundreds of manual hours.They already have massive commercial traction, including a major agreement with a global corporate services giant and active deployments across Big 4 firms (KPMG, EY, Deloitte). To keep up with this demand, they are expanding their tight-knit engineering team from 3 to 5.The Mindset: What You'll Actually DoThis is a product-first environment with zero corporate red tape. The philosophy here is simple: what you build, you own. * End-to-End Execution: You’ll spend your time shipping real features from the database layer right up to the React components.Long-Term Ownership: This isn't an agency setup where you ship code and walk away. You’ll maintain, refactor, and mature what you build over time based on real user feedback.Work Alongside AI Engineers: You don't need a background in Machine Learning, but you do need to be deeply curious about it. You’ll be building the critical scaffolding, APIs, and UIs that expose and route these complex agentic systems.Psychological Safety: They move in fast, 1-week sprint cycles. The motto is "make mistakes fast and fix them fast." They have excellent observability systems in place, so when something breaks, the team rallies together to solve it and learn from it.What We’re Looking ForThe Sweet Spot: 2 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally within a product-focused environment.Core Tech: Proficient with TypeScript, Node.js, and React. Some cloud exposure (AWS/Serverless) is ideal, but you don't need to be an infrastructure wizard.Engineering Discipline: A solid appreciation for TDD (Test-Driven Development), whether from your professional work or personal projects.Longevity & Curiosity: We value engineers who have stuck around to see the long-term impact of their code rather than jumping frequently between short-term contracts. An active side project or a genuine passion for building things outside of work is a massive bonus.The Environment & PerksBased in a fantastic, highly social office space in Clapham Junction, the team thrives on in-person collaboration and mentorship.The Office: Complete with a dog-friendly policy, an incredible rooftop for socialising, and an on-site gym located right downstairs (with membership covered).The Onboarding: No "sink or swim" here. Week 1 is a soft onboarding to get familiar with the stack, followed by 3 weeks of structured pair programming on shared tasks before you start picking up features independently.The Package: Up to £60k salary, 30 days holiday, equity options (to be confirmed on application), and a brand new MacBook Pro.**No sponsorship can be provided for this role.If you are a curious, product-minded engineer who wants to be at the front line of how real AI products get built, let's have a chat 😊
