About Volt:

When Volt launched in 2019, we recognised how Open Banking has the power to transform how businesses, wherever they happen to be, receive payments from their customers.

So, we set about building an Open Payments Gateway that enables merchants across the globe to receive direct, account-to-account payments – in real time.

Co-founded by industry experts Tom Greenwood, Steffen Vollert and Jordan Lawrence, we’ve brought together the most experienced, trusted names from across the industry. Now, we’re perfectly positioned to power a real-time payments revolution.

We’re headquartered in the UK - with offices in Poland, the Netherlands, Germany and São Paulo – our mission is truly global. We live by our ‘real-time payments everywhere’ vision.

Now, on the back of $23.5 million Series A and $60 million Series B funding rounds, we’re 150-people strong and poised for an exciting new phase of growth. Will you join us on our journey?

About the role:

As a DevOps Engineer you will take ownership of our infrastructure set up, implementing best practices according to financial industry standards. Working with Volt will give you the opportunity to design infrastructure and to implement monitoring processes from scratch embedded within an experienced industry expert team. You will support the design of a global and exponentially scalable payments transaction platform while going through the full team building and international growth journey with us.

About our tech choices:

We are designing our solutions with Domain-Driven Design principles in mind. That led us among other things to use the hexagonal architecture as our base pattern for the business layers of our apps. The systems as a whole are built with the best practices of microservices architecture, including CQRS, language-agnostic protocols, containerization, etc.
Above all, we are keeping the balance between novelty and delivering a business value since that is the ultimate goal of our tech stack.

What the role involves:

• Making configuration and improving development environments,
• Creating and supporting production and RC environment,
• Setting standards for new and current projects,
• Improving infrastructure in terms of architecture and security,
• Proposing and planning the extension of server architecture,
• Servers updates (database, software, other dependencies: as needed),
• Creation of monitoring & reminders for the typical server metrics monitoring,
• Supporting developers in projects, helping them in analyzing & solving errors (eg. sentry error monitoring),
• Creating CI/CD pipelines using best practices,
• Creating automation wherever possible.
