DevOps Engineer (Platform & Deployment Architecture)

Hi there :) Thanks for checking in to find out about our open position. We´ll provide as much information as possible, but please feel free to reach us if you have further questions. We´ll be happy to see your application, even if there are skills you don't quite master! ABOUT US At South Geeks, we connect top LATAM engineering talent with innovative companies building impactful products worldwide. We focus on long-term partnerships, strong technical environments, and creating spaces where professionals can grow, contribute and thrive. ABOUT THE CLIENT Our client is a financial technology company that provides secure payment and prepaid card solutions for public sector organizations. Their platform powers critical payment workflows for government agencies, replacing cash and paper-based processes with reliable digital systems. Operating in a highly sensitive and regulated domain, their infrastructure must prioritize reliability, recoverability and transparency, ensuring that financial operations remain stable and traceable at all times. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to design and build a new deployment platform from the ground up. Today, deployments rely on a functional but outdated, homegrown PHP-based system. While it offers strong recoverability, it lacks the flexibility needed to support modern workloads — particularly the introduction of Rust-based services. Your mission will be to design and implement a containerized deployment system that enables reliable, observable, and maintainable releases across the platform. This is a high-impact role where you will define the tooling, architecture, and best practices working closely with engineers who are not DevOps specialists. This is ideal for someone who enjoys building simple, durable systems rather than over-engineered pipelines, and who values clarity, recoverability, and long-term maintainability. WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE - Strong experience designing and implementing container
