About Aspora

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.

About the Role

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.

What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable, and automated deployments across environments

  • Manage and evolve our cloud infrastructure on AWS (and/or GCP), including networking, compute, storage, and security configurations

  • Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or Pulumi, ensuring reproducible and version-controlled environments

  • Own observability: set up and manage monitoring, alerting, and logging using tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Prometheus

  • Collaborate closely with backend, mobile, and security engineers to ensure infrastructure supports product velocity and compliance requirements

  • Lead incident response, post-mortems, and drive improvements to system reliability and uptime

  • Enforce security best practices including secrets management, IAM policies, vulnerability scanning, and compliance controls (PCI-DSS awareness a plus)

  • Manage containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS or GKE)

  • Support developer tooling, internal environments, and platform engineering initiatives

What We're Looking For
  • 4–6 years of hands-on DevOps or SRE experience in a cloud-native environment

  • Strong proficiency with AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda); GCP experience is a plus

  • Solid experience with Kubernetes — managing clusters, deployments, autoscaling, and networking

  • Expertise in CI/CD tooling: GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD, or equivalent

  • Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform (Pulumi or CDK also acceptable)

  • Comfort working in a Linux/Unix environment with strong any scripting skills.

  • Experience with observability stacks: Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar.

  • Strong security mindset — you understand secrets management, IAM, and network hardening

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment with a high ownership bias

Nice to Have
  • Experience in fintech, payments, or regulated industries (PCI-DSS, SOC 2)

  • Familiarity with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)

  • Exposure to multi-region or multi-cloud deployments

  • Experience with database operations (RDS, PostgreSQL, Redis) including backups and failover

  • Prior experience in a high-growth Series A/B startup

Why Join Aspora
  • Build infrastructure that powers global money movement across 5+ countries

  • High ownership, high impact — you will shape our platform function from an early stage

  • Work with a globally distributed, high-calibre team across India, UK, UAE, and the US

  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and ESOPs

  • A culture built on speed, radical candour, and customer obsession

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
