Job description / Role

Our team

We are the DevOps team. We collaborate with various teams to ensure successful code deployment, component testing, process re-engineering, and quality improvement. With a holistic view of our technical environment, we provide the best solutions that benefit the company and our clients.

Your role

As a DevOps Engineer at Deriv.com, you will be deeply involved in every stage of the software lifecycle.

What you'll do

- Maintain and extend our service monitoring. We use tools such as Datadog to detect and react to issues. We’ll need you to be proactive and find issues before they happen.
