Senior DevOps Engineer

People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users.

Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 150+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.

We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you’re driven to redefine what global banking can be, we’d love to build the future with you.

At Aspora, infrastructure isn't an afterthought — it's a competitive advantage. As a DevOps Engineer, you will own the reliability, scalability, and security of the systems that power financial transactions for customers across multiple countries. You'll work at the intersection of engineering and operations, enabling our product and backend teams to ship fast without breaking things.

This role sits within the Engineering team and reports directly to the Engineering Lead. You'll be a foundational hire on our infrastructure function, with the opportunity to define tooling, standards, and culture from the ground up.
