Job Description
n
Eightcap operates at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and global financial markets. Headquartered in Melbourne with a global footprint spanning the UK, Cyprus, and Bulgaria, we build the high-performance infrastructure that connects the world to CFD markets - reliably, securely and with precision.
n
We're after an engineer who treats infrastructure as software: versioned, reviewed, tested and released. Someone who is as comfortable reviewing a Terraform pull request as they are tracing a production latency spike, and who leaves every codebase, pipeline and security posture better than they found it. The Senior Cloud / DevOps Engineer will own the health, security and evolution of the AWS estate that our trading services, client-facing applications and internal systems run on.
To drive real impact in this role, you will:
n
n
Own the Cloud Platform:
Design, build and operate our multi-account AWS environments, with Terraform as the backbone for every change, from modules to drift detection to plan-and-review.
n
Build the Paved Road:
Own CI/CD in GitHub Actions and build boilerplates for .NET, Go and Python so teams can ship standardised, production‐ready environments with minimal friction.
n
Engineer Security In:
Apply least‐privilege IAM, secrets management, network controls and CSPM tooling like Wiz, and embed scanning and policy‐as‐code directly into pipelines.
n
Automate Compliance:
Build continuous evidence and controls against SOC 2, ISO ***** and the AWS Well‐Architected Framework, so audit readiness is always on, not a scramble.
n
Own Observability and Reliability:
Run the CloudWatch stack, define SLOs, lead incident response and post‐incident reviews,



and keep runbooks sharp enough for another engineer to follow.
n
Lead Without the Title:
Set platform standards, review infrastructure and pipeline changes from other engineers, mentor the team on cloud and security practice and help shape the roadmap.
n
Partner Across the Business:
Work closely with Infrastructure and Security, Product Engineering squads and Trading Platform Operations to keep the estate secure, resilient and easy to build on.
n
Requirements
What You'll Bring:
n
n
Significant hands‐on experience designing, building and operating production AWS workloads, including multi‐account setups, VPC networking, IAM, EC2, Lambda, Fargate, RDS and CloudWatch.
n
Expert‐level Terraform, including authoring reusable modules, managing remote state and refactoring live infrastructure without downtime.
n
Strong GitHub Actions experience across application and infrastructure pipelines, with secure credential handling.
n
A genuine software engineering background in at least one general‐purpose language (Python, Go, TypeScript or C#), with tests, code review and release discipline as habit.
n
Demonstrable cloud security engineering, including least‐privilege IAM, RBAC, SSO, MFA, secrets management and remediation using CSPM tooling such as Wiz.
n
Experience automating compliance evidence against ISO *****, SOC 2 and the AWS Well‐Architected Framework.




n
A track record leading incidents and post‐incident reviews under real change control.
n
Transparent communication skills, including writing design docs and explaining trade‐offs to technical and non‐technical stakeholders.
n
Availability for an on‐call rotation and occasional out‐of‐hours maintenance.
n
Bonus if you hold an AWS Professional or Security certification, have worked in a regulated financial services environment (ASIC, FCA or CySEC), have exposure to trading platforms, low‐latency systems or market data, or have contributed to a pen test remediation or certification cycle.
n
Benefits
What's it like to work at Eightcap?
n
n

We provide a space for the ambitious, adaptable and collaborative to deliver outcomes that fuel our success while building the skills and experience that defines a career.
We also support you through:

Annual flu vaccinations.
