🚀DevOps Engineer at 4G Capital

About 4G Capital

4G Capital is a leading digital credit provider operating across Kenya and Uganda, regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya and the Uganda Microfinance Regulatory Authority. We combine technology, financial education, and unsecured credit to enable micro and small business growth across East Africa. We are a Certified B Corporation serving over a million customers across our markets.

Our technology platform is built on Google Cloud Platform with a serverless-first architecture. We run Java-based backend services alongside web, Android, and desktop applications, supporting high transaction volumes across mobile, web, and partner channels.

The role

We are hiring an experienced DevOps Engineer to take ownership of significant areas of our delivery and runtime engineering. You will design, build, and operate the platform capabilities that our engineering teams rely on every day — the cloud runtime, the CI/CD pipelines, the API gateway, and the release infrastructure for our mobile and desktop applications.

This is a hands-on engineering role with substantial scope. You will work across the full delivery lifecycle, set technical direction within your areas, partner closely with engineering teams to ensure what you build is well-adopted, and mentor engineers around you. We treat our platform as a product and the wider engineering organisation as our customer.

What you will do

• Lead the design, evolution, and operation of our cloud runtime platform, including service patterns, deployment configurations, and runtime standards

• Own significant areas of our infrastructure-as-code estate, including module design, state management, and refactoring legacy configurations into maintainable patterns

• Build and operate the CI/CD pipeline platform that serves engineering teams across the organisation, including the trunk-based development workflows that are our delivery standard

• Drive improvements in our API gateway platform, including proxy patterns, local development workflows, and automated deployment

• Build and maintain release pipelines for our mobile and desktop applications, including build, signing, distribution, and version management

• Develop service templates and golden paths that make new services production-ready by default, with CI/CD, observability, security, and platform standards integrated from the start

• Pilot new platform capabilities on real services, document them clearly, and support engineering teams as they adopt them

• Participate in the platform on-call rotation for the capabilities we ship

• Mentor engineers and help shape the technical direction of the DevOps team

What we are looking for

Required

• Significant experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability

engineering, with demonstrated progression into roles of increasing scope and technical leadership

• Deep hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform across compute, networking, identity, and operations services

• Strong proficiency with Terraform, including module design and refactoring large infrastructure-as-code estates

• Significant experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines that serve multiple engineering teams

• Demonstrated ownership of production systems, including on-call and incident response

• Practical understanding of trunk-based development, branch protection, and modern release engineering

• Proficiency with containerised workloads, serverless architectures, and cloud-native design patterns

• Strong scripting and automation skills in Bash, Python, or similar

• A track record of producing platform capabilities and documentation that other engineers genuinely adopt

• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with enterprise API gateways

• Experience building mobile or desktop CI/CD pipelines, including code signing and store distribution

• Familiarity with internal developer portals

• Background in regulated industries, particularly financial services or fintech

• Google cloud certifications such as Professional cloud DevOps Engineer or professional cloud architect

How you work

The engineers who thrive on our team treat the platform as a product. They think about adoption as part of delivery. They write documentation while building, not after. They communicate clearly, take ownership of outcomes, and know when to say “not yet” when scope and capacity are at odds.

What we offer

• A meaningful role at a company that combines commercial growth with positive impact across East Africa

• The opportunity to work on a modern cloud-native platform serving real customers at scale

• Engineering leadership that respects depth, autonomy, and craft

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

• A hybrid working arrangement based in Nairobi

How to apply

Submit your CV and a short cover note describing a platform capability you have built, evolved, or operated, and what you learned from the experience. We review applications on a rolling basis.
