About Allica bank

Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in fintech. Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.


Department Description

The Banks platform team play a key role in the operation of the Bank and are responsible for all Cloud related services. Our mission is to provide the best-in-class infrastructure services to support Allica. We live and breathe the Allica values and deliver services intelligently using automation, intelligence, and innovation.

Allica's Platform team adheres strictly to best-in-class methodologies such as Infrastructure as Code, utilising Terraform and Azure DevOps to implement declarative infrastructure.


This role mandates the use of these technologies to deploy and maintain cloud-native systems, ensuring the use of the latest advancements in cloud platform management.

  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimise for efficiency and reliability.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with emerging cloud technologies and contribute to ongoing improvement initiatives.
  • Documentation: Maintain clear documentation of infrastructure configurations and processes.
  • Support and Maintenance: Provide ongoing support for cloud infrastructure, addressing technical issues promptly.


Personal Attributes & Experience

  • Experience in Azure (PaaS, IaaS, Networking knowledge beneficial)
  • Experience with Azure DevOps - YAML CI/CD pipelines / Templating
  • Strong scripting experience for Infrastructure-as-Code – Terraform / Ansible
  • Scripting abilities in Bash/PowerShell
