Visa Open Banking processes billions of events, enabling data-driven decisions for clients and internal stakeholders.

As an SRE in the Infrastructure & Tooling area, you will play a key role in ensuring our platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and easy to use, while empowering engineering teams with self-service tools and automation.

This role spans both cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, runtime) and engineering productivity platforms (CI/CD, developer portals, observability), focusing on improving developer experience and overall system resilience.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and operate reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure platforms across AWS and Kubernetes
• Develop and maintain self-service tooling and platforms to enable teams to deploy and operate services independently
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, developer experience, and platform usability
• Drive observability strategies across logs, metrics, and tracing
• Automate provisioning, deployment, and scaling using scripting (Python, Go, Bash, etc.)
• Support engineering teams with best practices in reliability, performance, and cost optimisation
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure platforms align with evolving use cases and requirements
• Contribute to architecture, standards, and platform designs for large-scale distributed systems
• Act as a champion for automation, platform engineering, and operational excellence

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.

• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS or similar) and container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices
• Experience with infrastructure as code and automation tools
• Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g. metrics, logs, tracing)
• Programming or scripting skills (e.g. Python, Go, Bash)
• Understanding of distributed systems, reliability, and scalability principles
• Strong collaboration and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or operating developer platforms (e.g. Backstage, internal portals, self-service tooling)
• Experience with observability platforms such as Datadog
• Knowledge of platform engineering and developer experience practices
• Experience with large-scale, event-driven systems
• Understanding of cost optimisation and operational efficiency in cloud environments
