## Description

As a Senior Associate, Lead DevOps Engineer in Markets Engineering, you will play a hands-on technical leadership role in designing, automating and operating resilient cloud, platform and application delivery capabilities.

You will work across engineering, infrastructure, architecture and service teams to improve delivery automation, observability, operational readiness and production stability for business-critical services.

The role suits an engineer who combines strong DevOps expertise with a collaborative, ownership-led attitude and a focus on secure, scalable and reliable outcomes.

**Responsibilities**

- Take ownership of operational issues, drive effective partner concern and resolution, and identify improvements that reduce incidents, technical debt and manual intervention.

- Design, build and maintain automation to provision, configure and operate infrastructure and application services across cloud and on-premises environments.

- Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines that support secure, repeatable and efficient delivery from code commit through to production deployment.

- Create reusable patterns, modules, scripts and templates that improve consistency across software delivery, infrastructure lifecycle and operational processes.

- Integrate applications and platforms with monitoring, alerting, scheduling, backup, logging and service management capabilities to strengthen production readiness.

- Support project and product teams from requirements through implementation, providing impact assessment, estimates, technical advice and risk insight.

- Contribute to standards, documentation, training and mentoring so that engineering teams can adopt DevOps practices consistently and confidently.

**Requirements**

- Strong hands-on experience in DevOps engineering, cloud platforms and infrastructure automation, ideally in a large-scale enterprise or financial services environment.

- Practical knowledge of AWS or other major cloud providers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD tooling, source control and deployment automation.

- Experience with tools and technologies such as Terraform, Ansible, GitLab, Artifactory, Datadog, scripting languages, observability platforms and service management processes.

- Ability to analyse complex technical problems, assess operational risk, design resilient solutions and communicate clearly to technical and non-technical partners.

- A collaborative leadership style with the ability to mentor peers, influence engineering decisions and promote a “you build it, you run it” approach.

- Desirable experience includes financial markets, low-latency or highly regulated environments, security controls, secrets management and production support ownership.

**Benefits**

- A high-impact engineering role supporting resilient, secure and scalable technology across Markets.

- The opportunity to shape DevOps standards, automation patterns and operational practices used by multiple engineering teams.

- A collaborative engineering environment where you can work hands-on, share expertise, mentor others and contribute to the continued transformation of LSEG Engineering.
