About the role
Our Operations team is central to ensuring seamless, efficient, and scalable client experiences. We are seeking an Operations Developer—a hands-on technical role embedded within Operations, focused on process automation, back-office tooling, and operational efficiency.
This is not a traditional engineering role. You will sit within the Operations department and work side-by-side with the team to:
* Understand day-to-day operational workflows
* Identify areas where manual processes can be automated or optimised
* Build, maintain, and extend our existing back-office toolset
* Develop dashboards, alerts, and data-driven insights to support proactive decision-making
You will focus on delivering high-impact, low-effort improvements that reduce manual effort and operational risk, and define a strategic roadmap for back-office automation, including dashboarding, reporting, and tool enhancements that scale with the business.
Responsibilities
* Work closely with Operations teams to analyse workflows, pain points, and manual processes
* Automate repetitive tasks and manual checks using SQL, scripting, or integrations
* Enhance and maintain the back-office system, building new features to support operational needs
* Develop monitoring and alerting systems to enable proactive operational management
* Create dashboards (e.g. Tableau, Metabase) to provide visibility of key operational metrics
* Investigate operational bugs, identify root causes, and deliver fixes or automation to prevent recurrence
* Collaborate with technology teams when dependencies arise, ensuring solutions align with business priorities
* Propose and drive a longer-term automation strategy, including AI/ML opportunities
Requirements
Essential
* Strong SQL skills (data extraction, transformation, and automation)
* Experience developing back-office or internal tools (full-stack capability ideal)
* Proven ability to identify and deliver quick wins while building toward a long-term strategy
* Experience building lightweight dashboards or visibility tools (e.g., Tableau, Metabase) to support operational decision-making
* Familiarity with automation frameworks or scripting (Python, Node.js, etc.)
* Problem-solving mindset and ability to investigate root causes of operational issues
* Ability to work with non-technical stakeholders and translate operational needs into technical solutions
* Experience in fintech, financial services, or other regulated industries
Desirable
* Knowledge of AI/ML applications for automation and data-driven decision-making
* Understanding of alerting/monitoring systems
What We Are Looking For
* Investigative, entrepreneurial, and curious mindset with the ability to understand complex operational processes
* A hands-on builder who enjoys solving problems quickly, not just designing long-term solutions
* Willingness to fix bugs as well as set strategy for future improvements
* Strong communicator who can work across teams, bridging operations and technology
What We Offer
* The opportunity to shape the automation strategy of a fast-growing fintech
* Exposure to both technical and operational challenges with autonomy to deliver impact
* A supportive environment where experimentation and problem-solving are valued
* The contract will be a fixed-term arrangement (6-12 months)
