Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Solid experience with GitHub and GitHub Actions in production environments.

  • Experience with ArgoCD and GitOps principles for continuous deployment on Kubernetes/GKE.

  • Knowledge of Docker, Helm, and artifact management (Artifact Registry or equivalent).

  • Hands-on experience using AI tools (code assistants, documentation generation, or automation) in day-to-day development/operations.

  • Knowledge of scripting (Bash, Python) for task automation.

  • Knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GKE, Workload Identity Federation, Cloud KMS, Binary Authorization).

  • Fluent English level (B2).

Nice to have

  • Experience in the financial sector or in regulated environments, with auditable deployment processes.

  • Experience in software supply chain security (SLSA, image signing, vulnerability scanning).

  • Relevant certifications: CKA/CKAD, GitHub Actions, or Google Cloud (Associate Cloud Engineer / Professional DevOps Engineer).

The role

GFT is a pioneering company in digital transformation. We design business solutions centered on artificial intelligence (AI-Centric), modernize IT infrastructures, and develop next-generation core systems for leaders in the banking, insurance, and industrial sectors. In close collaboration with our clients, we push boundaries to help them reach their full potential.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to build and operate the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) platform on which the digital bank's software is delivered: GitHub as version control, GitHub Actions for continuous integration, and ArgoCD (GitOps) for continuous deployment on GKE. The selected person will work on the already defined design with GCP Artifact Registry, GKE clusters per environment, and will be responsible for automating, securing, and optimizing the delivery cycle, also incorporating AI tools to improve the productivity of the development team and the DevOps operations themselves.

What you'll do

  • Continuous integration (CI)

    • Design, maintain, and optimize GitHub Actions workflows: build, tests, vulnerability scanning, and publishing images/charts to Artifact Registry.

    • Configure GitHub Actions authentication to GCP using Workload Identity Federation, without using service account keys.

    • Integrate artifact signing and verification (Binary Authorization) as part of the build pipeline itself.

    • Manage the configuration and governance of GitHub repositories (branch protection, required reviews, merge policies).

  • Continuous deployment (CD) with ArgoCD

    • Operate and maintain the GKE cluster that hosts ArgoCD, including its private connectivity to the clusters of each environment.

    • Maintain the separation between the instance

    • Manage Helm manifests and charts, and the promotion strategy between environments.

    • Diagnose and resolve synchronization issues, configuration drift, and failed deployments.

  • Use of AI in the delivery cycle

    • Incorporate AI assistants into the development flow to speed up code review, test generation, and technical documentation.

    • Explore and apply AI for early detection of anomalies in deployments and for assisted generation of manifests, pipelines, and policies as code.

  • Automation and continuous improvement

    • Automate repetitive operational tasks in the pipeline (secret management, credential rotation, artifact cleanup).

    • Define pipeline metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate) and act on them.

    • Collaborate with platform, security, and development teams to keep the pipeline aligned with organizational policies.

Personal competencies

  • Teamwork
  • Communication skills, fostering dynamics that allow the flow of knowledge, with an interest in both learning and teaching.
  • Proactivity in seeking new solutions and improvements.
