Software Engineer (DevOps) - Managed Storage

Our Technology team builds the systems and experiences that keep Revolut moving. From the infrastructure behind our innovative app to the features used by millions of people around the world, they bring sharp thinking, speed, and a focus on meaningful impact to everything they do.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with expertise in self-managed storage solutions, such as Redis and Kafka, who’s excited about building and operating critical infrastructure at a global scale.

Since most of our core infrastructure is designed, built, and operated internally, you'll be developing for resilience, automation, and scale from day one.

Up to shape what’s next in finance? Let’s get in touch.

• Designing, operating, and evolving our storage solutions, such as Kafka clusters at scale, across cloud and/or on-premise environments
• Building and maintaining self-managed, highly available distributed systems (messaging, storage, data infrastructure)
• Architecting multi-region deployments, failover strategies, and disaster recovery for mission-critical systems
• Developing infrastructure as code and internal self-service platforms to enable engineering teams to provision and operate safely at scale
• Driving automation across provisioning, scaling, upgrades, patching, and incident remediation
• Contributing to reliability standards (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets) and improving observability across the stack
• Working closely with backend, platform, security, and compliance teams to design infrastructure that meets regulatory and audit requirements
• Participating in incident response and postmortem processes, focusing on systemic improvements rather than firefighting

• Expertise operating Apache Kafka in production at scale, including cluster provisioning, lifecycle management, capacity planning, performance tuning, replication, failover, and resilience design
• Knowledge of security hardening (ACLs, encryption, authentication)
• A background in SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering
• A deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (consensus, partitioning, fault tolerance, backpressure, networking)
• Experience with Linux, containerisation (Docker), and Kubernetes
• Expertise with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and configuration management (e.g., Ansible)
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and automation pipelines
• The ability to independently design and deliver complex systems in collaboration with multiple internal stakeholders
• Hands-on software engineering skills

Nice to have

• Experience operating other stateful systems at scale (e.g., Postgres, Redis, object storage)
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Stackdriver, Vector, VictoriaMetrics)
• Exposure to regulated environments or financial systems
• Experience operating infrastructure across cloud (GCP/AWS) and on-premise environments

• Financial benefits that show we value your work
• Flexibility to work from home, the office, or abroad
• A Revolut Metal subscription loaded with perks
• Exciting events year-round so you can get to know your team
