Senior DevOps Engineer (Copy) in Singapore, Central Singapore at Ascenda

Ascenda powers the growth of leading financial services brands worldwide with premium rewards programs that differentiate their products, drive profitable customer behaviors, and create sustained engagement.

We are behind the world-class rewards propositions of major banks and fintechs around the globe, including brands like American Express, Capital One, Brex, Revolut, Ramp, HSBC, Bank of New Zealand, Virgin Money (Australia), Bradesco (Brazil), ANZ (Australia), HDFC (India) and many others.

We are a thriving global Loyalty-as-a-Service company and are experiencing rapid expansion. Join our dynamic team contributing to the execution of our business strategies as we strive for hypergrowth. Our team spans 20 cities worldwide, with dual headquarters in Singapore and New York, totalling 270 team members.

We're a small team of nice, experienced and (we think) fun folks. We treat our infrastructure as a product built for the developers who use it every day. Our job is to make it easy for them to ship, run and observe their services: good paved roads, sensible defaults, and self-service tooling so teams can move without waiting on us. It's all managed as code with Terraform, running on Kubernetes across multiple AWS accounts and regions, built and deployed through automated CI/CD pipelines and Helm charts. Grafana watches most of it. We're currently moving our CI/CD off Jenkins onto GitHub Actions.

We work closely with our developers and security teams, and we believe in "you build it, you own it." The platform is there to make that ownership manageable, not scary, by giving teams the guardrails and visibility to run what they ship. We care about automation and quality, and we've hit the tougher security standards (PCI-DSS, SOC2, ISO27001). Our clients are financial institutions and airlines, so they expect high availability, reliability and security.

On a typical day we reach for Terraform, Istio, ArgoCD, Kubectl, Helm, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Cloudflare… to name a few.

We want someone to lead our growing DevOps team (6+ engineers today) who genuinely cares about cloud, systems, automation, reliability and security, with several years of hands-on experience in a similar stack. It's a player-coach role: you'll lead and grow the team, and while the role has a managerial aspect to it, we also expect you to acquire deep knowledge of our stack and contribute to it in a hands-on manner.

Ascenda offers the unique opportunity to lead in LaaS, shaping the future of rewards programs. You'll be part of an environment that prizes groundbreaking ideas and their execution. We provide unparalleled career growth opportunities in a supportive and dynamic environment, complemented by a competitive compensation package that recognizes your impact.

Ascenda is dedicated to diversity and inclusion, welcoming candidates from all backgrounds. Join us on our mission to power the growth of the financial services industry by making loyalty simple and rewarding for everyone, everywhere.
