Description
At Paymentology, we’re redefining what’s possible in the payments space. As the first truly global issuer-processor, we give banks and fintechs the technology and talent to launch and manage Mastercard and Visa cards at scale - across more than 60 countries.
Our advanced, multi-cloud platform delivers real-time data, unmatched scalability, and the flexibility of shared or dedicated processing instances. It's this global reach and innovation that sets us apart.
We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer (GCP) to design, build, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure powering our global payments platform. As a senior technical specialist, you will own cloud architecture decisions across Google Cloud Platform, contribute to multi-cloud implementations, and ensure our infrastructure meets strict performance, security, and regulatory requirements.
If you're an expert in GCP, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code, and thrive in complex, high-availability environments, this is your opportunity to shape the future of cloud infrastructure in a truly global fintech environment.
What you get to do:
- Lead the design and implementation of scalable, secure cloud architectures on Google Cloud Platform.
- Define, implement, and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform to ensure repeatable and reliable deployments.
- Architect, build, and support multi-cloud environments aligned with business and platform strategy.
- Implement and maintain cloud security controls aligned with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and other regulatory standards.
- Maintain cloud migration initiatives from on-premises environments to GCP, ensuring minimal disruption and optimal performance.
- Continuously optimize cloud environments for cost efficiency, scalability, observability, and resilience.
Optional:
- Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes (GKE) clusters and Kafka platforms to support distributed, high-throughput systems.
Requirements
What it takes to succeed:
- Minimum 5 years of experience in cloud engineering or infrastructure engineering roles.
- Deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform and cloud-native architecture principles.
- Advanced knowledge of Terraform and modern DevOps tooling for Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD automation.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, scalability, performance tuning, and cloud security best practices.
- Experience operating in regulated, high-availability, or payments environments.
- Ability to operate autonomously as a trusted technical owner, solving complex, multi-system challenges and influencing cloud standards across teams.
- Strong understanding of GCP global architecture including Regions, Zones, and Global VPC design.
- Strong IAM expertise covering roles, service accounts, and least privilege implementation.
- Ability to design scalable VPC architectures including hub-and-spoke and Shared VPC models.
- Good networking fundamentals including subnets, routing, and GCP firewall rule configuration.
- Good to have experience with APIGEE/API gateway.
Nice to have:
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (GKE) and Kafka in production environments.
What you can look forward to:
At Paymentology, it’s not just about building great payment technology, it’s about building a company where people feel they belong and their work matters. You’ll be part of a diverse, global team that’s genuinely committed to making a positive impact through what we do. Whether you’re working across time zones or getting involved in initiatives that support local communities, you’ll find real purpose in your work - and the freedom to grow in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
