Will be a plus: * Experience with AppGate or Amazon Connect; * A FinOps certification (e.g. FinOps Certified Practitioner); * Experience writing and maintaining on-call runbooks and incident response processes.
About Project Industry:Fintech
Team Size:9 employees
The client is a UK-based Fintech mobile-first business that cooperates with influential UK banks and companies by providing digital and physical credit cards and other financing services. The application grants a straightforward yet secure credit management system devoid of bureaucratic hustle. The solution is simple on the surface yet complex “under the hoof” —— with security measures that ensure the protection of sensitive data. Being a white-label solution, the application grants flexibility and the opportunity to customize the platform for the client’s customers.
The solution has been live for over a year — the team continuously develops new features. As the project is challenging in terms of tools and technologies, it requires significant input and gives an opportunity for professional growth.
The general project team consists of 26 members on KindGeek’s side.
