Role description

Join our Platform Engineering team at Pollinate, a London-based fintech backed by global financial institutions like NatWest, NAB, and Truist. We're building a modern, high-performance Azure cloud platform that powers real fintech products for small businesses every day.

We're a close-knit team of designers, engineers, and financial services experts who value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Your responsibilities will include building and improving tools and processes that keep our platform running smoothly, supporting cloud services post-deployment, partnering with development teams on seamless infrastructure deployments, and maintaining our CI/CD pipelines for faster, safer feature delivery. We're looking for an enthusiastic technologist with exposure to cloud platforms (Azure is a bonus) and passion for modern engineering practices, including automation tools, DevOps, containers, Terraform, and programming languages like Python, Java, Go, or C# . Your wellbeing and professional growth matter to us. We offer access to career coaching, life coaching, and therapy through our employee experience partners Plumm, plus flexible hybrid working arrangements. You'll bring your expertise to work every day in an environment that values listening, engagement, and mutual support. If you're early in your career and excited about cloud technologies, problem-solving, and making an impact in the fintech space, we'd love you to be part of our journey as we expand our South Africa team.
